Here it is in use - with Richard wearing the lens cap as a hat when it started raining, since there is nowhere else to put such a large lens cap -

Whoa! What a beast. Not a lens to carry around lightly, either I should think . Does Richard have an assistant just for that lens? Suddently the SAL 70300G looks quite restrained.
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.
Greg,
I will try tonight again for my own edification. I did some postprocessing to boost highlights. I might have overdone but
want to get it a tad bit brighter.
Here is a set up I have used with my Dimage A1/A2 using Tcon300b and Tcon14b (Olympus 3x converter, Olympus 1.4x converter respectively)
on a custom bracket designed for Dimage A1/A2/A200/A300 series. I need to dig into my archives to get an example worthy of posting. I did have
a modest success with that contraption (about 10% keepers).

With all the recent fuss about photographers being arrested, you would not want to try and use that outside parliament would you!
