More pics with Pentax-F 1.7X AF ADAPTER with DA*300
Amazing shots Amin, the one with the feet out of focus is probably just not enough DOF, the beak and face are really sharp. If you look again at Mark Cassino's he does mention that the converter works better with shorter lenses and pre-focus is sometimes needed, also bear in mind that your focu...

Its difficult to say but normally if something doesn't fill at least a quarter of the frame then I will use a TC. That is a stunning shot Mike And what you just told me above helps. I think I will have a go and try also keeping an eye on how much of the frame the subjects cover and then take a s...

I would be quite keen on having a try on a TC that would allow me to use SDM to focus and then compare it with the AF1.7 I have. May be one of these days I run into someone who has one of the Tamrons I think that allows that and then I can have a go at it. Mike I think you have one of those don't ...

No longer in Spain, moved back for good yesterday.:( I wouldn't mind having a go with the Pentax 1.7 as I have a lot of manual lenses, maybe we could arrange a trade for a few day sometime soon :) Sounds excellent Mike :D. I would be quite happy with that, then we both could give the TC a good spin...

The second Dunnock is nice, the focus is off on the first, or its moved its head and theres some motion blur. As for the Starling, Depth of Field will be very shallow at these focal lengths, even at f9.5, so you have to be especially carefull with focusing, the point of focus here is on the birds ...

Now THAT is the winner I was talking about:P Thought I had one somewhere sharp and soon I read your previous comment about the parts of the body focused I remembered I had one focused sharply in the eye, but obviously the tail didnt get that focus, but then just like you said, this one looks much be...

The eye and head are sharp. The fact that the tail is out of focus due to the depth of field is neither here nor there. A really nice shot indeed, easily better than any bird shot I have attempted.

DUCK!!!
The longer the focal length the samller the DOF will be. An even smaller aperture and a short focal length would have resulted wider DOF. you can also back focus so that more of the background comes in the DOF but you need to be carefull to keep the duck in it but that's why there is an optical pre...

Espresso
I only spent about 5 mins shooting after setting up. I actually found it quite easy to time. I just pressed the shutter when the drop started to fall & reviewed the result. Just a matter of altering the height where I left the drop go to try & sync things up, once thereabouts I was catching about a ...

I like the clean look of the bokeh in the other one though and sharpnees at this size is more then good. You can try only very little noise reduction, just to make them less visable. Too bad your last shot is a bit out of focus, it would have been a killer shot.

Maybe the distance from the caterpillar and leaves on the right is the same to the camera both are in focus.The leaves on the left must be nearer the camera:)

To be honest, I'm not sure what you are asking Tel! :? Are you wondering about focus, or something else? If it's focus, then this definitely isn't the way to test focus :P My FA50/1.4 needed a touch of adjustment in the K20D focus custom setup ;) But I'm super critical and wanted the camera to f...

Tel, To test focus you NEED a focus test chart - or something with a completely unambiguous focus point. Plus you need a way to gauge where the centre of the focus is. Even a sheet of newspaper would be better - focus on a clear headline, using a tripod in daylight, using f/1.4 (Tungsten ligh...

Thanks Guys I did not put it very well at all in the topic, it was to do with focus I am not happy with the focus using the 50.f1.4 and the DA55-300 they seemed soft to me. Had a chat with Matt and done a focus test using the charts the 50mm needed -3 and the DA 55-300 needed -5 hopefully that ...
