Curling tongues I must have missed out on that

I can't see any point in the Limiter at 6M / 20 ft..... That's usually about as close as you can sneak up on a bird before it flys off. I can hear the complaints on here already that the lens is stuttering and hunting and won't focus

4M would have been better.

I've got the older (slow) Eye-Fi card and wouldn't be without one for use at home. It picks it up even in the garden without an extender. A full JPG (10-11MB) averages 16 secs. over N300 Wi-Fi. It did about the same over a slower router. Some USB dongles struggle with the connection so you may have to try others.

The camera battery doesn't last as long, but that really isn't a problem.

FF is good, but really needs top glass. I've seen good results from the Pentax-A 50mm f/1.4 and some Zeiss/Voigtlander lenses.

The Pentax K 28mm f/2 'Holywood' should be OK.

Some really great details there. Looks as though it would be a nightmare to repair as well as build

Monopods are useless in preventing side/side movement. You can buy a very expensive foot that helps to stop it.

SR is probably also useless for side/side movement. I would still use it (SR=ON) with a monopod if I had to use one even though I've also got a Uni-Loc Duopod that stops the sideways movement.

This video shows it in use. 4 mins long. but they've included it twice making it look like 8 mins.

I prefer the colour version Stan. You can't see the rust in the mono version.
I also prefer it uncropped.. it shows more depth.

I love old oil cans Came out great considering that you started out to do a macro of a spider, but couldn't face moving all the oil cans

I think I've got a hernia just from looking at that photo. Will the Pentax be lighter
