Dug the Pentax A* 300mm f2.8 out today and stuck on the Pentax 2x-L teleconverter to see if I could get a few birds in the garden. Nothing occured so took a pic of the dog (as you do).

600mm handheld .. shows how well the Pentax SR works as it felt like the lens was all over the place when taking the pic.

Wow, gonna have to get me a Pentax 2x tele. The one I have leaves everything soft as a feather pillow!
Hand held at 600mm! Wow again! Wish I had hands that steady. Can't do it at 300mm with 1/1000 sec shutter speed.

Nice photo, but would crop to leave a bit more space to the right side. He seems a bit cramped in the frame.
But with the specs, I'd be thrilled to get the shot regardless!

Very impressive! But I would like to have seen a little more of the dog's mouth.
Best regards
