Above is one of the aircraft that Airbus use to ferry wings from their site just outside Chester to the over assembly sites across Europe.
Have not seen an odder looking aircraft.
Have you?

When it comes to abstracty arty types I am not very good TBH, however, Like the green and the slight blurring giving an energy to the shot, slightly off level which again helps the image, but the top left white area is a distraction, the steam to the right is fine, it`s a pity it does not extend to the left. Perhaps try cropping off the top 5mm? so the top is in line with the top of the engine. Apart from that I quite like it.

Who cares if Neils shot is sharp, I've never seen a Blackbird like that before and I'm grateful he's posted it for all to see

Quite right.

Vic.

The OP did ask for C&C, the bird is not sharp so the criticism is valid. Yes, an interesting bird, but technically it is sadly lacking in several areas.

Agree Don;

Still not totally happy though, I am convinced there is a decent image here, just cannot find it .

And another vote for the Siggy 24-70, fantastic lens, has rapidly become my favourite since getting it last year. Probably take the majority of shots with it now. Yes it is heavy, but it is worth it.

Are you able to select AF-C and AF-S when you have it on? These options are greyed out for me because the camera thinks it is MF only.

On the K20 it is a lever,if I switch to mf then the converter does not focus.

Quote:
Also I can't select multisegment metering, and the P-TTL flash just fires at maximum, as if I were using a non-A lens. Can you select multisegment?

Again, on the K20 it is a physical switch.

Where are you based, can you try the teloconvertor on a different camera? to establish it is OK, is the K2000 compatiblewith the teleconvertor? i would assume so, but are you sure?

Just had mine on my K20 with a A 50mm 1.7.
As usual it asked for the focal length on start up then got on with it.

Worked just fine, remember you still have to roughly focus the manual lens.

Quote:
Does the camera display show them as AF or MF?

Not sure what you mean by this? my K20 does not display the drive type.

What camera are you using?
