Now that I have a nice sharp F* 300mm (thanks again Chris!), I was wondering if anyone has thoughts or experience in extending its reach by attaching a Q series body to a similar length lens, bringing the lens up to an equivalent of a 1300-1600mm lens on a 35mm body - photo examples would be great!
Anyone have a spare Q they are willing to part with? [I live in the UK] While I realize the Q system's IQ doesn't match something like the K5, from reviews I've seen online the Q sensors are pretty good. For anyone else who is interested below are the links I've found so far.
