By mounting a 300/2.8 + 1.4X TC on a partial-frame DSLR, you can attain long (small-birdable) focal lengths AND fast f/stops. I've basically called a moratorium on acquiring fast glass, betting that one day, the 200 and 300mm glass I already own will be magnified by a DSLR at no cost in brightness. If Pentax won't do it, there's always the other guys.[Paul Franklin Stregevsky] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
