Picked up a Pentax 55-300 for a bargain price this morning so I have decided to part with my Tamron 70-300. Mint, boxed condition but no lens hood. £69 plus shipping (RM Special Delivery would be £6.70). I'll try and post some pictures later. Payment by bank transfer or PayPal if the buyer pays the fees (unfortunately for some reason that PayPal can't sort out, I can't accept 'gift' payments)

Photos taken with this lens are here:

Welcome Pete. I think you will struggle to get acceptable bird shots with a 55-300. It does not have the reach. At the 300mm end gives you the equivalent of 8x binoculars. A Sigma 50-500 or 150-500 will get you a lot closer but for a lot more money.

I believe so.

Presumably saving yourself a few quid in the process!

I too purchased a K-20D recently and I'm very pleased with it. Digigood have several 55-300s at a good price on E Bay at present. I've purchased from them in the past. Grey imports but excellent service.

Question on photographing planes. Do you use AF-S or AF-C?

Both but AF-2 seems to get better results.
