Very nice, good detail. How well does that lens work with the x1.7 ?

Superb detail. I would also be interested in hearing how well the lens works with the teleconverter.

Thanks chaps. The 50-135mm works very well with the 1.7 AF. The focus speed is ultra-quick due to the short throw of the TC focus range.

Obviously you need to pull manual focus first and then let the TC snap to final focus.

No doubt that on a K5 it will be even quicker.
