These Astonish Dusters are really good, they also do a mini-version.

They used to be better, they repelled the dust, but the latest ones attract it and the dust comes out when you give it a good shake outside.

Good idea using a 28mm close up I presume you have used a remote release.
It seems to be focused on the centre of the feeder, it wouldprobably be
better focused on the back of it?

This is perfect for Eye-Fi so that you can watch the shots from a distance
as soon as they are taken.

I've still got an old Marantz CD 52 Mk2 which still works and sounds good

I use a Rotel RA-01 amp with it, probably about 8 years old. They
work well together.

They look the same to me so it would apply. The only difference seems to be the A setting which you lose on the A* when using an extension tube anyway.

The 4m focus isn't usually a problem, you'd be lucky to get that close to a bird anyway.

I posted some sample pics with the 55-300mm on here last August.

The A* works fine with the 1.7x and should AF although I've never tried it I always use MF.

You can focus a lot closer with a small 6-12mm extension tube.

Never any any PF problems on a K20D.

Considering that it's published weekly, it's even more surprising that they took so long to publish a test on the K-5

I had a look through it in Tesco's today and one of the readers letters listed about five major manufactures from about twenty years ago. After Pentax it had something like (sadly no longer with us)???????? Who the hell proof reads and selects the letters for inclusion in AP?
