A Focusing Rail is very handy for stacking, especially if it has mm markings.

Don't you find the FA24-90 noisy on Digital. Mine is OK on the MZ-S but I was thinking of converting it to drive screws into wood with the K-5.... Seems to have similar torque to a 40,000 rpm 100V electric drill

Anyone not minding MF and wanting a 28-105mm. The KIRON 28-105mm f/3.2-4.5 is excellent. I've had one for a few years and also had a Vivitar Series 1 28-105mm from new, but the Kiron is much better even though some Series 1's were Kiron made.

I don't see why Pentax photographers can't use focal lengths that real photographers use. 135mm on FF means you need to carry another lens to go beyond 135mm. We are probably restricted to a Tamron 28-300mm at about £150 SH.28-300 is easier perhaps with the other brands .... But we don't recommend "superzooms" here at PU, do we??

Over 51,000 photos on Flickr show that it's capable and popular amongst people who photograph a wide range of subjects including macro.

Can you get a decent 28-300mm for Pentax. That's all Jay Maisel uses on a Nikon.

Very nice photos.
It's a pity the boat wasn't sinking then you would have been able to get a fair price
