Peter, I might have gone for a full silhouette. Jack :-)

So after showing a couple of good shots taken with the Vivitar 600mm Solid Cat. I thought I'd show some of the Ugly too. For a lens type that is known, nay reviled for having low contrast, sometime under the right circumstances it produces almost unmanageably high contrast. You'll notice that the branches in the background are exhibiting an annoying double bokeh, and there's an almost unseen branch in the foreground exhibiting ring bokeh. I probably could have gotten a better final image out of this, but would have had to go to some extreme efforts. As it is, it can serve as an horrible example of what can go wrong with even the best Catadioptric lens. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20andthenitdisapoints.html Equipment: Pentax K-5II w/vmc Vivitar Series 1 600mm f8.0 Solid Catadioptric Lens Notes: This is an about 1/3 crop from the center of the frame, shot at a not particularly high, (for this camera at least), ISO of 800. It has the most centered Histogram I can remember seeing yet I still couldn't make it look good. As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored. -- A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant, and the crazy, crazier. - H.L.Mencken -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
