If I'm honest it's the focus peeking that's really got me interested.
I would love to try out the focus peaking as well. Accurate manual focus on the K-5 at around 1M is impossible

The 18-55mm is an excellent lens

Has it got a "Your Guess is as Good as Mine" setting

I'd only bother if I was using 100mm in bad light, in which
case I'd set 100mm. 35mm should be OK without SR.

The best thing is probably test it at say 70mm at all FL's
I doubt if it will make much difference.

Are these massive crops? You should be getting sharper
pics with the 150-500mm. Loss of sharpness can be through
camera shake or not quite nailing the focus.

The processing looks OK.... maybe they could be sharpened
a bit.

I put a 3rd party adapter on once.... took me 4 hours to get it off!

An 80-400mm would have been better still

I had the M 35mm f/2 but sold it because it wasn't any better
than a zoom lens

That set has 2 remotes for flash use. You only need 1 remote
and transmitter for the shutter. It uses the small jackplug the
same as Canon do. Best remote I've ever used. Be careful leaving
the camera unattended

Try a Google search Bernard, these faults are often discussed
on car forums.

Helped me tremendously when my Bugatti Veyron was leaking water out
of a radiator hose and the garage couldn't fix it!

Actually a male with the feathers turning black. The yellow beak indicates it's a male. There's a shot of a female in my portfolio.
