Sorry, Cot, yer wrong. The reason for the "harsh" bokeh on the Pyrrhuloxia is the junk IN the background. Look at the olive sparrow I just posted... smooth and creamy bokeh. The 500's bokeh is amazing with or without the TC. Even stacking a 2x AND 1.4x has shown really nice bokeh. Heading off for the last afternoon shoot of the weekend. -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
