 As promised, some recent shots taken with this.

 A couple of those are some attempts at astrophotography stacking
teleconverters -- it's scary how many of that roll came out blurred all to
heck, even using self-timer to get mirror lock up.  That said, the quality
through three 2x converters, while not exactly sharp, is better than I'd
expected.

 The other funny ones are the ones where the moon's smaller in the shot, and
the metering gets very confused; it looks like a photo of the sun, given how
bright the final image is.

 (there's a cheap one of these on mxv at the moment, has been for a while;
says 'hood is dented', which could mean anything, but the hood's not the
important part here really)
