Hope you gave their owners some copies - they would be very pleased with these

They don't appear to have them now - I just looked !

I recently acquired a K series 2x rear converter (rear converter K T6 2X). Like most of the original K series items they have a good reputation and so they are quite hard to find. It produced really good images with an M series 50mm so I dug out a Tokina f2.8 135mm and my Pentax M 100mm macro. Both performed well with the converter, the Tokina particularly producing some lovely bokeh .........

1. Tokina 135mm @f4 with some fuschias that were really shaded



2. Bringing it into the sunshine, here is a fluffy seed head of fox and cubs (a startlingly orange dandelion sort of thing)



3. And some hydrangea flowers



4. Changing to the 100mm macro at f8 the results were just as good. This is purple toadflax



5. A favourite subject: sage seeds



6. And even the spent lavender looks good



Having used several varieties of rear converter in the past, I was always disappointed with their IQ but this one really shines, even though these manual lenses necessitate the use of stop down metering

You've found a wonderful vantage point there

Some magnificent shots there - what an astonishing place!

The eyecup is a stiff article to remove. I always carry a push-on lens cap that hangs quite happily over the viewfinder and does the job a treat

An opportunity well taken. All of these are super.
If you look in hedgerows, even on urban streets, you will find that many elm stumps have sprouted healthy growth, which will benefit quite a few creatures.

Great images from a great camera

I've really got to go here.
No1 is a tonal delight and a great composition.

I started in digital with an *ist DS. I've still got it and it's still used. The *istD, being the prototype, is supposed to have been quite the business at the time. If you change your mind, I'd love to have a go with it.
