I just recently purchased a SMC 2x-s Pentax TC. Last Saturday I had a chance to use it at the Wild Animal Park: they had a week-old(!) baby-elephant. Since the baby was "tiny", and at a significant distance, I thought it would be a nice test for the TC. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the tripod with me, so it was handheld: Pentax SMC 2x-s Tamron 70-300 4-5.6 at about 200-250mm 1/750 exposure on a *ist DS set at ISO-800. No manipulations, except for RAW-jpg conversion and smart-sharp mask in PS and resizing.

Unfortunately, also the time was limited (they took him inside a building where he became asleep). I may come back there next weekend, if I can find time for it, .. but he will be twice as old then.
