An amazingly clear image, a 1500mm lens....wow thats some piece of kit you got, ultra sharp.
23 Aug 2008 10:12pm
@Richard_Irwin: Hey Richard! I appreciate the complement. Just so that you know, the lens itself is a very reasonably priced Sony fixed 500mm lens. However, in 35mm terms, the lens translates to a 750mm lens. I used the 2X electronic tele converter bringing the effective focal length up to 1500mm. I'm thinking of purchasing Sony's 2X optical tele converter as well to bring the effective focal length of my system up to 3000mm. But, I digress. Now I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. In post processing I did sharpen the image slightly as well. Thanks for all your comments Richard!
