[QUOTE="hark, post: 723959, member: 13196"] Actually these might not be too bad of a comparison to the photos from the first hawk images. These were also shot at f/6.7 although I bumped up the shutter speed a notch with these. Although there isn't a great deal of DoF, the hawk's head looks to be in better focus. When I edited the photos the other day, I think I used a brush and applied a little sharpening to its head since that TC seemed to front focus. @[URL="https://nikonites.com/member-9240-backdoorarts.html"]BackdoorArts[/URL] what do you think since this is a closer [I][B]apples-to-apples[/B][/I] comparison to the original hawk photos? The only difference is I removed some of the distracting branches in these. The first image below is a tad sharper than the second - and that probably has everything to do with user error. :rolleyes: There was 1 frame in between these two images. Although these images don't have quite the depth that the original hawk images had, this refurbished TC seems to be a little sharper with an improved ability to get closer to the true focus point. All the images have blue sky in these whereas the original hawk images had purple sky. Plus the metering seems to be more consistent with this TC. But I will still perform some tests over the next few days. :encouragement: [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]329478._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]329479._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
