How many fish does he catch in them Blue and yellow seem
to be the latest fashion for fishermen.
Nice shot though showing the British fishing industry in
full force!

are converging a bit too severely for my liking. This is made
worse by quite a lot of aliasing (jaggies) and I'm surprised
no one else has noticed that. It could be due to PP or the
K-5 IIS ? Look at the RHS bottom of the 1st shot.

Pentax FA 100-300mm f/4.7-5.8 and it does work well with
either the Jessops 1.7x TC or the Pentax MF 1.4x-s.
I've got the Sigma 150-500mm, but it's too heavy to carry
any distance.

a camera shop called D Powers, but the website listed dpo.com
doesn't seem to be in use either.
Probably a fairly new product so no doubt we'll hear more
about it in a few months.

The Wimberly Mk II must top the list as the most practical mount. Expensive, yes but that goes with the territory.
Best regards
ones are really expensive. Wouldn't mind one of these....
