For today's "Single in February" image on the US fora, I cheated slightly and paired the K200/2.5 with the 1.7AF teleconverter. Some CAs (common with this lens sadly) but not too bad overall, and better than I have had with the 1.7 on other lenses.

lovely detail kris, focus might be slightly off around the head ( but that could be my eyes) but generally a nice image.

C&C welcome.

I wouldn't be surprised. The DoF of the 200mm/2.5 is thin at that range and the AF of the teleconverter is very limited at that range too and so one ends up having to combine manual and AF... probably easier just to turn the AF and pre-focus as I do with the S-M-C Tak 400mm!
