Blanket is fine by me, didn't even notice it at first, but I would lose a bit of the grass at the top, so that theeyes are nearer 2/3 of the way up the picture

That is encouraging!

It might tempt me to get a DA*300 too in the fullness of time....

Not tried it but have both so can try for you

Thank you, very kind.

I have used a cheap Tak-A 2x converter (Which I got to turn into an auto extension tube) with the Tamron with not awful results, so I am interested in how this combo works, IQ probably more of interest than AF as I have been using MF for the above combo.

Agreed about the kingfisher image, and nicely placed in the frame too.
Anyone used the 1.4TC with the Tamron 70-200 f2.8??

Agree with the previous poster, the use of shortish "long" exposures keeps a balance between the rather ethereal misty water with 10s plus exposures and the frozen appearance of normal shutter speeds. Number three works particularly well for me, in this respect. I haven't used my 10-20 for beach shots yet (only got it recently) but these images encourage me to get doen to the sea again and try it out.

Petworth House (National Trust) and Petworth itself aren't far and worth a visit, also Parham House and Amberley Working museum. Brighton (expecially the Pier, don't know if they still have Bank Holiday fights between Mods and Rockers) Wield and Downland Open Air Museum, Denmans Garden (small but perfectly formed) Uppark (also NT, a bit further afield but stunning)

Tis a shame. I bought into Pentax because my local Jessops (alas now only a distant memeory) had a good deal on a K100D plus Tamron 70-300. My research (mostly DPR!) had alerted me to the advantages of Pentax-IBIS, excellent backwards compatability, and memories of an ancient Spotmatic owned by my older brother and a number of digitally redundant Canon FD lenses prompted me to become a digital Pentaxian

Taken with my foot operating a wired rtemote, K5 nad DA70
