I am not sure which is more impressive. The bear shot, the caribou shot, or the fact that you hiked, in the bush, for several hours with a camera body on a big mother 600/4.0 lens on a big mother tripod. All three are remarkable! And the time spent was obviously well worth it. Stan Sent from

I just tried my 1.7x adapter with K3 and DA16-45. It does ask for focal length when starting up. The 1.7x adapter adjusts aperture info, however, adding 1.5 stops. My Sigma 1.4x (an older, pre-EX model) just passes the actual focal length and aperture on to the body. Mark On 8/17/2018 1:19
