I suppose that by "original f/1.4 Super Takumar" you mean the 8-element non-radioactive version? - aka the "Planar killer" or some such marketing nonsense from Asahi-Pentax? If so, the answer is ...

But that "general rule" doesn't say anything about the quality of the Tele Converter.  Monica's OP talks about "the" x1.4  TC but doesn't say which TC - is it a Nikon TC (which may or may not be ...

You might try doing a search over on the Adapted Lens Talk forum?   Canon isn't my thing, but it gets discussed plenty over there.

On one hand, yes, that's technically the case.  At 600mm the OP's lens at f/6.3 is only a little slower than her camera's guideline, she should get reliable focus in most situations.  So you are ...

I don't think anyone has mentioned yet that lenses don't usually do their sharpest work wide open, which I think you've used in your example shots. I read a review of the 150-600mm C earlier that ...

We don't "have to" - but it's understandable that you do feel the need from time to time.  When you've asked previously I think I've been consistent in saying "go look at the monthly photos ...

Like me?  I haven't said anything about my photo storage in this thread (or any other).  Your comment is probably aimed at the Original Poster, it has nothing to do with what I said in support of ...

D3300 - you'll get to the high ground ahead of the flash flood quicker with the lighter camera...... I had my D3300 for a long time (more than a year) before I even realised it could do video, and ...

"Guess the place" isn't monthly - it's a continuous thread that gets refreshed whenever it reaches the 150 maximum post per thread limit.  That it is now in its 172nd cycle is I think very ...

No, because I use both Fuji and Nikon dslr systems in parallel, and I already have a Nikkor 16-85 f/3.5-5.6 that satisfies my "mid range aps-c mid range zoom" requirements. FWIW, I also have the XC ...

Well, an Allen key is only needed for an M42 adapter,  the bayonet mount ones should leave the lens correctly orientated without any adjustment. If any of your four K&F adapters are for M42 and ...

There should be three screws that need to be tightened to avoid what you describe from happening.  They are there so that the lens can be adjusted so that the lens sits at the proper angle.  If ...

The lens doesn't actually have to be locked at the minimum aperture; if that's the cause of OP's problem, the error message will go away as long as the lens is at minimum aperture, locked or not.

I don't think it's "crazy", but it is highly controversial. It's all about aspects of land management and culture. In this case, all the area shown is low enough to be almost but not quite ...

That's interesting - there's an active thread on the Fuji X-ystem/SLR forum asking why Sigma and Tamron don't make lenses for those cameras.

You probably realise that the camera in your pic isn't an MTL 5B? .. so the picture isn't showing the lens you've actually bought? I think I've got a few of those lenses knocking around, but I have ...

This sub-thread started when someone said that they had recently bought a D70 - not a D40 - that had a sticky body. The D70 sticky issue has been fairly well discussed here recently (as well as ...

There are a couple of different things here, and it's my fault for mentioning the X-Pro 1. It does have an OVF option, which is fine when used with a Fuji AF lens but is absolutely no help at all ...

You do realise that all 5 of your posts in this thread are arguments with people who moved on 10 months ago?  Maybe you don't.

I doubt you'd have got an answer anyway - Rafabz, the original poster, hasn't posted on DPR since his 2nd post in this thread, 10 months ago.
