Hello. Just came across this site; the guy who owns it is a nature
photographer, who mentions the *istD and Pentax glass as his gear.
Some of his stuff is amazing. Those of you exclusively interested in image
aesthetics may wonder why he has some technically below-par photos on his
site. In it

constantly have to leave my 1.7 x converter on my novoflex 600 mm in order
to get half-decent shots. But then again I mainly do birds of prey, which
