And I did. WARNING: These are all large files (from 2 to 5+ MB each). They were shot in RAW mode, and converted to JPEG using Pentax Photo Laboratory. No corrections were applied. Exposure: 1/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (FA* 80-200 at 200mm) <http://www.jfwaf.com/scratch/squirrel.jpg> Here's a shot taken with the 80-200 at 80mm: <http://www.jfwaf.com/scratch/lakeview.jpg> I also tried some shots with the A* 200/2.8 + AF1.7x adapter. This is a very nice pairing from an ease-of-use standpoint; it's very easy to hand-hold this combination (especially when you are used to handling a 300/2.8). Unfortunately it suffers somewhat from chromatic aberration, especially in the corners. Here's a grab shot showing how easy it is to hand-hold: <http://www.jfwaf.com/scratch/geese.jpg> And another shot from this lens combination: <http://www.jfwaf.com/scratch/ducks.jpg> And finally a shot taken with the F50/1.7. This was shot in RAW mode, converted to TIFF, then rotated and saved as a JPEG using Micrografx Picture Publisher <http://www.jfwaf.com/scratch/trees.jpg>
