This is a shot of the weather conditions taken with the DA*50-135 f2.8:
These are two shots actually taken with the DA*16-50 f2.8

Looks like a good result.
Personally though, I've found that if you've got a decent lens to start with (which the DA*300 clearly is), then the same or better image can be had by cropping and resizing.
Of course, cropping doesn't always give you a big enough image for things like stock photo libraries who are often very picky about image size. In that situation, only a longer lens would do, but for most people, it shouldn't matter that your cropped image is smaller.
As for other instances, then maybe cropping is the answer, but we would need to do a comparo.
Anyway, it still shows off the quality of the DA*300 and the good noise result that can be obtained from the K-7 with the right post processing.

Very nice, but it would have been interesting to see a shot without the T/C, cropped and resized to the same dimensions.
The question being, is it better to use the T/C or to enlarge an image without using the T/C.

As for either cropping or enlarging in other cases, I guess a test would need to be carried out.

Very useable result, there is still fine detail in the wiskers.

Looks like the 1.4x TC does work with the DA*300 and K-7. I did have a bit of trouble with focusing of the DA*300 f4 and Tamron 1.4x TC combo on the K20D, but seems ok with the K-7. The DA*60-250 f4 + Tamron 1.4x TC also works ok on the K-7.
