A couple more birding shots.

I'm persevering with this using the Q with the 300mm DA*. It requires the "right" kind of bird, i.e one that remains fairly static. These are more or less uncropped and about 15 metres away, roughly. Very tricky focusing and a low success rate but not bad.

Not bad at all, your perseverance seems to be paying off.

I really must buy an an adapter so that I can mount the 250-600mm on my Q.

These look good to me - well done for perseverance
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

It's a Red backed Shrike, John. Probably a juvenile or young female blown off course on it's way back to Africa. It was on West Canvey Marsh, Essex. Been a couple around here this week. Quite photogenic.

Is there an adaptor on ebay for the Hubble telescope?
