On the K-3. The weather was dull and gray and took some PP to get this.

Taken at a low angle the smoke degraded the quality of this image taken with the K-1 II and 1.4x TC. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I suppose it would depend on the subject. I don't think you can lock down the tripod when shooting wildlife and then use a remote or mirror lockup. I just have to have the pano head slightly loose so I can move if need be and steady the camera and lens with my free (?) hand and arm. For birding I will continue to use just the lens and not the TC. Unless the subject distance is great, 630mm is too much to follow swiftly moving birds. :hmm:

I had a good look at the images I had taken and I thought I saw they were a little back focused. So I went into AF Fine Adjustment again and set the combo to +1 which doesn't sound like much but it made a big difference. I had already tested the combo with AF FA and didn't get the results I finally got yesterday. I also used center point AF and focused on the birds head.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks all for the feedback. I have done most of that and I think I may have gotten it dialed in. Here's two from this evening.

I've been testing the D FA 150-450 with and without the HD 1.4x TC. I guess I thought the images with the TC would be sharper than they're turning out. All taken on a tripod at 1/2000 @ ƒ8.


With the TC.

Lots of detail in that image. With all the light pollution in SAT I wasn't sure I could even see the moon. :hmm:

If you shoot small or distant wildlife like birds or animals you don't want to get close to like bears, I think the K-3 III would be great with with the 150-450. I'm getting better with C.AF and getting more keepers than not even with my K-3 I.

I didn't have to increase the exposure in post. I often add some texture and also clarity which will show up as grainy. The image is about 75% of the original so not too much.
