Since getting my K-5, my 540 hasn't been out of the camera bag. The higher iso performance generally has me covered.
Still, I'm intrigued about the Xtender you used for fill flash in wildlife photograghy. Is this the Better Beamer Xtender and if so are you using the FX-5 which is advertised for the 500FTZ? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Stenquist Sent: Saturday, December 10, 2011 8:21 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: PESO: A couple of A 400/5.6 birdies Grace and I went to the Johnson nature center today. I shot a few birds while she fed apples to the deer. Cold, but fun. I used the A 400/5.6 with the 540 flash and Xtender. The 400 always leaves a bit of fringing in the background branches. Could clean it up in PS, but I didn't bother this time. Maybe later. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=14780264&size=lg (a little pecker) http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=14780263&size=lg (a chickadee I lielieve. This one's a hair soft, but I like the composition.) http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=14780352&size=lg (Don't know what this guy might be. And I haven't looked in my book.) http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=14780353&size=lg (Another one unknown to me. Some kind of sparrow or just an itty-bitty chickadee?)
