Post your M shots!

[Busted Knuckles]

Here are some M with 2 1.4x TC and adapter paired with a 300mm f/4L IS. Taken at f/11, ISO 1600. M did a little shot gun initially when trying to focus, but locked on correctly after a second or two. I used my 580 ex II flash to light the birds since it was a rainy day. That might have been the reason the camera was hunting due to the assist light being blocked by the larger lens.

So let me see if I read this correctly. Attached to the "M" was not one but two 1.4 TCs then a 300 F/4. I LOVE IT. so 1.4x1.4x300x1.6(crop factor) = 940? FF equivalent and f4 should be f5.6 to f8.0? (could be wrong here) and the "mighty mouse" M still focused at all!!! and lastly you shot the pic 1 stop down from max aperture. LOVE IT!!!

So did you hand hold these . I have to admit I hadn't thought of stacking TCs.

I think this is cool.

I received mine yesterday and have only started playing with it. Initial impressions are very positive although I will say, it's size is awkward. The body itself is slightly larger than my P&S, which is almost too small (I wish the body had an extra 1/2 to 1" here or there). But then the lens protrudes enough that this has no chance of being "pocketable"...yet it is so small and light, it is very easy to carry.

That was my complaint about the lens. I for one like the smaller size of the camera. I never enjoyed the super small P&S cameras and I think it if they camera were any larger then it would be more in the G camera line range.

Mike, I had the lens resting on the back of the couch. I would have liked to only use a single TC, but my tree is a little far out. I wanted to see if it would focus like live view on my 7D with that much stuff between the M. I also wanted to test the 3rd party adapter with all of those items. It did really well. I stopped the lens up to f/11 to regain a little sharpness back with the hopes I didn't ruin it too much with diffraction which starts at about f/6.9 on this sensor. It also handled the higher ISO pretty well. It is a great little camera. I am still testing it to see if it has a place in my bag since I have about 2 more weeks before the return date is up.
