The more I am using, the more flexibility this combination reveals.

A fly on a leaf.

Hand held so not perfect but the potential is evident.

C&C welcome.

Taps again at f/8. Apologies for error on previous post as f/4 was f/4.5

Better DOF as expected.

Then did this...

right, but you don't have to 'pre-focused manually to "some where near" ' - right?

I mean, does the screw drive not work normally? does the AF hunt more than the usual?

Only just started to use this TC and the pre-manual focus is only as near as slightly recognisable subject, the TC then snaps it into focus. It does not hunt.

I will do some more shots at smaller apertures tomorrow to see how the IQ is. The extra reach of the 1.7x is very useful.

SDM is off as the Pentax AFTC is screw drive. Lens is pre-focused manually to "some where near" and the AF TC does the rest. K7 was indicating f4 due to two stop loss.

Zoom is still OK to use.

Just been outside with this combo. Wide open, hand held. Focus is FAST!!!!

Very shallow DOF. I like this combination.

C&C welcome

The DA* 10-16 looks interesting.

It does and it would make a decent walk-about wide angle. I also like the look of the 20mm, with a FOV of 30mm it also would do as a leave on one body lens.

So if you're going to use your old lenses there is nothing to gain really.

There would be something to gain if you were going to use at least one FF lens. The ability to use a mixture of FF and APS-C lenses would be good as it means you won't have to change ALL your lenses.

I'm not keen to give up my mirror box, though, on anything other than a pocketable camera, and this FF thing ain't going to be pocket-size any time soon.

Yes I agree with that, it was all about the EVIl camera idea really not against the sensor.
I believe that Nikon or canon has such a system already, where the FF sensor turns down to APS-C crop.

True, my D700 has that feature though I have never used it. I don't have any cropped Nikon lenses.

I wonder what the PCSOs would make of it in the City of London?

Don't need to go into London, use it from the M25....or Manchester with a 1.7x TC.
