Wow, Mark - Your photos are incredible! One can see these birds at a

Check Pentax Canada's website for equipment they no longer support. Pretty
much anything over a decade old is too old for them to service.
I had trouble getting them to service my A 50mm f/1.2, and it was still a

I have a Tamron AF teleconverter for Pentax, but I don't remember the

Hi Boris,
The trash bin and the grassy area do nothing for me. I would either crop, or

Don't crop it out - clone it out... I like how you framed up the
concentric squares, cropping the bin will hurt that part of the composition.
And while you are at it, clone out that patch of bare earth behind the bin

I have this extension tube set too, and it won't allow any f-stop display
simply because they do not have the neceassily contacts on the mount. So
they basically turn every lens into K/M lens. For the same reason, you
cannot use the 'A' button of the aperture ring.

You're right Mark. It would only provide multizone metering, not usefull

On the contrary, if you mount a digital flash on AF body, the chosen f-stop

The number on the1.4x teleconverter is Pz-AF MC4. I use it with the Tamron
70-300 lens (the one with the macro switch on it). The 2x one is marked MC
2x Pz/AF. They both work with autofocus, but there really has to be enough
light in the scene or AF keeps searching.

I appreciate everyone's reply to my question. My extension tubes don't have
any electrical contacts. They must be pretty old. KEH charged me $144 for
them, and now I'm thinking maybe I didn't get such a good deal. They are in
great condition, though. I don't care at all about manual focusing.
That is true, but I don't think they made the expensive set for
Pentax mount. Can you confirm this?
You are right. The Pro 300 TCs aren't available in Pentax mount, except the
3X.

Each man had only one genuine vocation - to find the way to himself.
Kathy, if your lens is set to 'A' while it's on an extension tube, the
diaphragm will be at its minimum aperture, probably f22. If you take it off
'A', when you press the shutter button, it will stop down to the aperture
you set . Until you press the shutter, it will remain wide open, for easier

cropping would spoil that.
