That's impressive focussing.

The magnifying eyecup is a big help with manual focussing even with the K-1.

Looks like a web sale between 7 and 8pm last night. The website must mark websales up as sold. Hope someone on here got it. Welcome to the club.

Well produced video Gareth, although I was a bit disappointed that you didn't include a bit of fishing

I don't do any astro, but I have heard that jackets with built in heaters are available from specialists.

A MF macro lens is a pig for normal use. The distance scale has very little space as you approach INF.

Due to focus breathing this lens doesn't give you any more working distance than the Pentax 100mm WA when you put a hood on. Also check the point about f/16 resolution in this post....

Can't these Nikon posts just be deleted. This one's even quoting reviews from a Pentax hating newsgroup (DPR) without stating that their reviews always have to be corrected by Pentax users who know what they are talking about. This usually results in a revised review, but when the reviewer doesn't understand the camera it will never be any good and should be taken with a pinch of salt and certainly not quoted in a Pentax forum..
