There was a rock with a little colony just outside the hut I stayed in for 3 days - amazing creatures

Here's the info - sadly nobody tried to guess.., but I suppose this is a club and I'm a bit too fresh :):
First post: with 2x, with 1.4, none, both TCs stacked, 1.4
Second post: both, 1.4, none, 2x, both

This post: first two none, the rest with 1.4. Hope you like them.

Here are a few more - perhaps it helps the guesswork if I say that the majority are with at least one TC

Here are some shots I took with the 300/2.8 Sigma APO DG EX with matching TCs, I let you guess which ones were without, with one and with both (1.4 and 2.0 TC)

Anybody still interested in the new lens? I had a chance to play around with a sample yesterday - there was a fair in Duisburg where Ricoh/Pentax provided the 70-200/2.8 along with the 150-450 and the 645Z complete with the 28-45/4.5 (a dream). Anyway, I posted some sample photos in a German forum and you can find them here Kleines UT Foto+Adventure in Duisburg - m. Bilder 70-200/2.8 • Pentaxians. The ones with the 70-200/2.8 are ## 10 and 15-18. I was quite impressed by the speed and the quality wide open even though the conditions were far from perfect, the shots were taken inside the exhibition hall, a former industrial building with bad lighting.

For me shot #15 shows quite nicely how well corrected the lens is for shooting into the light - this applies also to the 150-450 as you can see in shots ##3-7. I tested it along with the 70-200 and both showed absolutely no tendency for flare, even when shooting directly into bright halogen spots. Bokeh also looks very nice and smooth and I do believe that this will be a winner once it really does hit the shelves!

Have you ever looked at the Berlebach Mini? Very light and with the flexible head you don't need a ballhead just one of those flasharms. Very light too. Mini-tripod with levelling from Berlebach

Shot this yesterday from a hide on a nature reserve near Münster in Germany, light was a bit harsh but I was very pleased with the Converter-performance of the F* 250-600.

With me it's the other way round - I don't want the money - well, if you insist... - but I have the lens, the F* 250-600 that is - here it is open at 600mm:
