Just one little thing i've noticed...it might be me, but do a lot of the verticals tilt slightly to the right?
Thanks for showing these though...not somewhere that we see often on this site.

Some cars from my youth and beyond , thanks for showing these lovely images.
Nice. Arsenal and photos. Thank you for sharing.
It's great when 'luck' and 'being in the right place' come together isn't it? Lovely images. So many memories. I would imagine I'm not alone in smiling when looking at these.
A 'shout-out' to the 50-135 as well for rendering the colours so accurately and even the AF just about coped!

Paired it with the K5IIs as I had the 50-135 already attached to the K3 and this proven combination is good for the shorter shots at Oulton.
The following shots were all taken of the same group (ROKIT OFF BMW 900R riders) as they were the first group on again after lunch.
Even better...this was a qualifying event rather than a practice session so should hopefully guarantee a few more group shots with several bikes in the frame for added impact.
Anyway see what you think...all shots were hand held although some were rested on my photo-bag which was on my knees as I sat on a collapsible chair.

Overall I was very impressed by the converter.
It was very sharp when the focus was spot on with little discernible loss of quality.
With a monopod i'd expect the images to be even better.
For me the main attraction of this combo is that it has helped me get shots I just couldn't have achieved without the converter whilst allowing me to potentially save the image at a much larger size as little or no cropping is required.
Thanks for looking.
