Cowes power boat race today .. more of a practice than anything for the real thing on Sunday but quite interesting just the same.

K-7 and Pentax-A* 300mm f2.8 on its own and with 1.7x teleconverter.

Beautifully sharp considering the focal length, very nice set.

A lovely set Mike.

But my favourite is the tranquil #6, even if it could have been framed just a tad better .

Yes I used the teleconverter to AF on the 500mm shots. it's actually pretty fast .. especially compared to the SDM lenses.

Your not keen on the sailing boat slap bang in the middle of the picture?

Mike - sharp indeed. Perhaps the comment about the yacht shot was to do with the marker near the RHS - without that, it looks like a wall shot to me. Good one.

Looks like a nice sharp combination. I've never tried
AF on the 1.7x.

Pity the sailboat wasn't there at the same time as this one.
