With a converter

[mikew_RIP]

Thought i would ask for some feed back,i did borrow a 1.4 sigma took a few shots and didn't think i was happy,i did take them in raw and had a struggle making anything from them.Today i have spent some time playing with the raw files from the converter and came up with this,is it any good or am i looking at it through tired rose tinted eyes

Hi Mike,

Which converter are we taking about?

 

[mikew_RIP]

It was the sigma 1.4 on my 120-400 @ the 400mm end,i did need a tripod

You could probably add some sharpening to it, doesn't seem too bad IMHO

Thanks on a scale of 1-100 my raw knowledge is about 15.

The softness issue has nothing to do with your knowledge of RAW but the
optical qualities of the lens and converter combo and/or the used aperture!

I did not have the RAW file but I ran it through ACR and sharpened it up a little

Yep, you did! With the result that the pupil is gone!

Here is a quick edit in LR4.

The pupil is there. Would have been better if I had the original RAW file.
