I used it with my K100d on the photosniper worked very well, but sold the K100d. Still use it with the Samsung GX-10 and film cameras, but the K100 fitted the gun perfectly, and I fired it with a remote control taped to the stock above the trigger.

This fat carp was taken with it in my garden, and you have some great images with yours, most impressive Very Happy

I've recently bought one. It's reasonably sharp with good colours and bokeh, but not razor sharp as I've seen others claim. Looking at the samples here it seems on par. Maybe I was expecting too much.

Mine won't quite focus to infinity. I may try a different adapter.

Nice sharp results in your gallery! Have you tried it with a 2xTC? I wonder if it would be interesting..

I bought one (unaware) that was modified for soft focus.
It is totally dream like.

Very nice series of Australian wildlife Dave. Having tried for an hour to get a decent shot of a Pelican in flight when I went to Sydney, I admire your skill, particularly with such a great lump of a lens. Great!
