Pentax Q 1680mm f2.8 Set-up

The camera is the original model Pentax Q. The lens is my old manual focus Tamron Adaptall-2 Model 60B SP 300mm f2.8. The lens has a generic Pentax K Mount bayonet mount and is joined to the camera via an inexpensive Chinese-made K to Q adapter. This whole assembly is mounted to my 1970s vintage Slik heavy-duty aluminum tripod. The Q has a 5.6X crop factor causing the 300mm f2.8 lens to function as a 1680mm f2.8 lens in 35mm film camera terms. I did some experimental test shots of birds with this set-up today and will post some images after this one.

For this image, I used my Pentax K5 Camera with my old manual focus Vivitar K-AR 17-28mm f4-4.5 wide-angle zoom lens zoomed to 28mm, hand held, manually focused, Shake Reduction set to 28mm, ISO 400, f11, 1/180 sec, with fill-in flash from the camera's built-in electronic flash. This image is a full resolution Large JPEG and is Straight Out Of Camera without any post-processing, editing, adjusting, cropping, or re-sizing.
