You need to appreciate that Pentax users don't have
the equipment available to compete with professional
wildlife photographers. The longest Pentax lens is
currently 300mm and out AF is slow.

Unlocker is one of the few people in the world lucky
enough to own the old 250-600mm zoom.

If you want action shots of birds try Youtube their
posters have the right equipment

Sorry, unless they have one on the US Pentax site.

Ricehigh rated it the top of the Pentax standard lenses in some tests
he'd done. He also uses it quite a lot on a FF Canon.

Seems to be the same for all of them. I've noticed it
mentioned a few times on the US forum and mine has always
done it. Good lens though sharp wide open and focuses quick

Since it's not been mentioned yet, I will add my most used zoom, the FA24-90mm which although built like something out of a cereal packet, consistently produces excellent results.
Do you sometimes get a bit of a wobble through the viewfinder
using AF with the 24-90mm ?

With Eye-Fi you can keep the RAW file on the card and
set the JPG to a smaller size that will transfer across
quicker. You must have a massive monitor if you need
a 4928 x 3264 preview

Even David Bailey's clients had to wait 1 Minute for
Polaroids to develop

It's a shame all the 'contaminated' burgers were taken off the shelves, presumably to landfill. I'm sure there are a lot of hungry people who would have appreciate them, horse or not.
Absolutely agree.
They won't dump them Granville will have to have
them for his breakfast and tea for the next 6 months!
