Think you need a K-5 so you can bump the ISO and stop the lens down a bit more.
Well, it was windy, and the 2nd one is at only 1/400, so I think the K-5 will come in handy! This was experimental though and an excuse to just get out and use the lens. Hate to say it but they look a little soft to me.

Goes to show how important good support is, which is why I'm going Gitzo shopping in the morning!
Heres a 1:1 crop of the 2nd one:

I'm not sure if they are too soft, I think it's just the DOF is too small. In the 2nd one the beak and body seem to be OOF, but the 'chin' and the eye look pretty sharp. I like the composition in the first one.
