I've discovered extension tubes! $15 delivered from Hong Kong off ebay, and I can finally let go the need... the NEED... for a DFA 100mm f2.8 macro. Well, until June anyway. I took some test shots, but love how close I can get!<div>00PEAg-43028484.jpg.6354401fe5283a84093aa214bcd25489.jpg</div>

Peter - nice new 300mm toy! I'm jealous.

 

Scott - I think your b&w forest rockks! would like to see a slightly larger version.

 

Nick - Cool quarter! That's a pretty strong macro with a fairly deep DOF! Nice.

 

R.T. - Love the cottage.

 

Rose - the daffodil rocks, and the high-key redo looks great too.

 

O Shiva - I love the lines!

Few test shots from K10D and Pentax M 200mm f/4.0. The wind was blowing hard and I used ISO 400 to freeze the motion and the JPG come out quite noisy

WOW...I had forgot to hit the ole notify me button at the bottom so I was not seeing the reply's. What amazing images...Not a bad one in the bunch...I was going to post up something, but I think I will wait. I feel a little intimdated right now...

 

***Peter***..Those bird shots are amazing. Am I reading right? FA300 F/4.5 with 1.7TC in auto focus? By the way, I love the huge images, glad I am not the only one and the larger images truly show how great these images are...

Javier, Thanks yes the 3 bird shots are the FA*300 + 1.7 TC combo. I really like these 2 together. You may know of Tom Lusk and he gets his great images with that setup. actually after taking about 100 shots over the weekend with this setup, I decided to sell the Bigma.

 

You're going to like the DA*300 f4 when it arrives. I hear they are basically the same lens. Added plus over the Bigma is the size and weight. The 300 is much lighter and easier to hand hold. So it gives me 2 lengths, 300mm and 510mm. Add the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 and that makes a very good kit for walking in the woods.

 

Great shots everyone. Too many now to comment on but everyone has some great stuff this week.

Peter, for sure Tom Lusk, puts up some great stuff...What kind of 1.7tc do have? Is it the Pentax or sigma? I too am getting ready to sell my Bigma. I simply don't use it or need it. I prefer my 135-400APO with 1.4TC for a length of 560mm and it is allot lighter but still faster than the bigma.

Some of my first shots with my Lester A. Dine 105mm macro. It's an amazing lens.
