Yes great capture. Better not say you shot it, it might fire back! It looks threatening.
Yes, seems the K-1 has revived the Pentax brand... at last. Quite deservedly.

Thanks for the info John. I should point out to potential buyers that the performance of this teleconverter coupled with the Da300, is not perfect. It can take several attempts for focus to lock. Reading discussions online, it is not just this copy, but across the board.
I'd expect that to happen with any teleconverter given the loss of light transmission.

From Ricoh's website regarding the K-50.:

Changes to V1.10
Corresponded to [KAF4 lens mount] that is equipped with an electromagnetic diaphragm control system.
Enable new lens HD PENTAX-DA 55-300mmF4.5-6.3ED PLM WR RE to shoot stable by updating firmware.
Improved stability for general performance.

The update is here: http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/support/digital/k-50_s.html

Why not daylight with a reflector is it helps?? By a window perhaps?

I agree, it's a well captured portrait. Great.

Being an owner of the older version of this lens I like to see what other uses people get up to.
Which version would that be?

It matters to them because they think the camera and lens take good photographs! How do you think we got on in the days of film?
If it was important to them some used data-backs which could either date stamp the film or record exposure details. Others kept a notebook. They'll be some photographers who are not even aware the information exists in the form it does now, for others it is necessary for them to have it one way or another.
I'm still puzzled why you're worrying about something you say is not important to you, or is more relevant to you than what you're letting on?

I'd have thought the Q would be the easiest for your project. Big P might require some focus stacking which would be a bit of a faff!

It works with SDM lenses, but unlike the new Pentax one it doesn't adjust the reported focal length, however it doesn't cost the same either! As TCs go these are one of the better ones.
