Re: PESO Birding with 1.4x converter
Yes but they'll let you carry it in your checked luggage. I remember flying with my Vivitar flat field 90-180, a dense chunk of brass and glass that was about a foot and a half long, which would give quite a bit of mechanical advantage if swung as a club. Much more dangerous than any pocket knife but the TSA took off the lens caps looked through it and just let me fly with it. It's all theater and safety doesn't actually measure into it, and if it did flying would be so onerous that everyone would rebel. On 12/3/2020 11:27 PM, Alan C wrote: I'm surprised.

Re: PESO Birding with 1.4x converter
You can own a lot of different firearms legally in the US but disguised weapons are one frowned by most states and localities. You can buy a license from the Feds for a gun cane and wait about a year for them to decide that you're not a felon or particularly dangerous, but the locals will still probably take a dim view. Bashing someones skull in is preferable I guess. I don't know of anyplace where a sword cane is legal, except as a curio, though I'm sure some one will tell me.

Re: PESO Birding with 1.4x converter
Capt. Sir Richard Francis Burton, one of my great heroes of the Ripping Yarns variety, was the finest swordsman in Europe, literally as well as metaphorically, and always used a heavy metal walking stick to keep his sword arm strong. In the good old days you could have your walking stick made with kind of knobbles or large knurls along the length so that if you were approached by a ruffian, a member of the working classes or a foreigner it was a simple matter to run the knobbly bits swiftly and forcefully across their shins or their skull and they would think twice in future about breaking the social distancing code. https://youtu.be/HtRGeyznv7k > On 3 Dec 2020, at 07:37, mike wilson wrote: > > I prefer a two-piece for self-defence.

My test for teleconverters tends to be to take a photo of the moon, with and without the TC. I then crop them to the same field of view to see whether I’m better off with the TC.

Re: PESO Birding with 1.4x converter
The DA 1.4X may vignette slightly in the corners with that combination.. It does on the K-1 with D FA 150-450. But it’s inconsequential. Easily fixed, and I almost always crop my bird photos.

Re: PESO Birding with 1.4x converter
I had a 1.7x which I bought brand new in the box, old stock, for a song a few years ago. It gave good results with my SuperTak 55/2 but showed much degradation on slower consumer primes & zooms.
