Becomes 1000mm (on 1.5x crop sensor = 1500mm)
On Pentax K5, SR activate set to 800mm (as max), hand-held except #4, iso 10000-20000, 1/800s - 1/2500s
I tried without SR even at 1/2000s, the results were far more bad. Hard enough with tripod. But i learn to follow my heart beats when shoting these

Details can be found in:

Are these your macro attempts with the 200F convertor that was discussed in another thread?

Not so sharp and very noisy... cannot see the point using a long mirror lens with a TC for this kind of pics. But it´s fun to try to break the rules every now and then. Cool

Major kudos for getting these shots handheld.

They're not bad, #2 is probably my fave.

I did a little noodling around with my mirror lens and flowers this week, it's very cumbersome and the results can be OK... The problem is that I can slap any old 50mm prime on a bellows and get better shots with less effort Razz

Thanks Mo. I enjoy to do something untraditional Laughing
Image quality is not as good as macro lenses with a setup for macro, but in need, i can keep distance from some scary creatures.
