Hi Patrick

The lens is a Sigma 150-500mm f5-6.3 DG OS HSM. It was tripod mounted and triggered with a remote. The lens was also cushioned to prevent any shake when the trigger released. Last year was amazing for Butterflies. This one + lots more, were in a large Buddleia bush. Some of them though were a fair distance away, hence the use of the 500mm.
K5's (2)both gripped, K10d gripped, Pentax 28-90 f3.5, Sigma 18-250mm, Sigma 150-500mm. Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro, Sigma 10-20 f.4-5.6.EX DC, Hoya 135 f2.8, Take on 28mm f2.8 Pentax AF360 flash, 2 fill in slaves. 30 metre remote release, Rt angle viewfinder, Giotto NOT 3261B Tripod with Manfrotto 808Rd4 ball head, Manfroto 4861RC2 monopoly, shoulder stock, various filters etc, Panasonic SET HBS HD Video cam, Tamrac Explorer 8x backpack and a sore back.....
