Astonishing, actually. I think I can just make out a weevil in the seed!
I've experimented with my 1.7x AF converter & find it degrades the images
but then I don't have the best lenses to start with.

Subject: PESO 150-450 with A 2X-S
This pic is perhaps interesting primarily because of the equipment used. I
mounted the D FA 150-450 and an old A 2X-S converter on the K-1. That meant
my tired old eyes had to focus manually, but the in-focus beep and flashing
light on the K-1 make it fairly easy, using just the center focus point.
This combination fives me full frame, whereas with the DA 1.4 converter, the
frame vignettes in the corners. And of course I can get more reach with a 2X
converter. This was shot at 900 mm and is cropped to about 60 percent of
frame. ISO is 1250. I think the stop is f8, although the exif data doesn’t
record the stop accurately with this setup.

Oh, and photo.net broke the site again. I don’t really know how to use it
yet, so I hope this actually shows up for you.
