That Tinie Tempah was the hardest out of them all lol Smeggy. He had already jumped in the same part of the stage on the chorus earlier. So when he went to that spot again I focussed on him, set the body to live view, stretched as high as I could & as most GX20 / K20 owners know live view is not fast in hi speed mode, so well pleased to have nailed him top of the jump... )
Nice work Gary and congrats on getting published. Did you use the GX20's exclusively or did the K-R get used for high ISO shots?

Regards,

John

I would have thought that was about the right price. I have one but find it is a little heavy to balance well on digital bodies, the SFX range that it was designed for were big chunky bodies. Focussing is a lot slower than a DA 50-200 and much, much noisier.

It will perform well on APS-C since its image circle is much bigger
I would have thought a "mint" example as stated would fetch £120'ish myself.

Buy, buy, buy.

Seriously it's a bargain at £79.

Why not buy a 1.4x or 1.5x AF one, it will work perfectly well in MF?
Plenty to choose from and relatively cheap.

a 1.5x or 1.4x is ideal, just losing one stop. but it's hard to find one for pentax with a good optical design. F 1.7x seems really nice, but the price has gone up the roof.
Teleplus, (Kenko) 1.5x are very respectable IMHO, various clones on the Teleplus design exist.

The KT6 and 2x A are worth watching.
What is KT6? Why is the 2X A without SMC marking?
It's SMC but earlier K, M series lenses.
