To add to loadoftripe's suggestion, I now use a thin O ring between the CPL filter and the lens so it never locks itself on again.

Easily available on the web, and for little money

Thanks Peter, I'll have another go, I'm not keen on pushing my images to far, prefer more natural shots but will certainly relook at them

Thank you

I am envious as I have never seen a Kingfisher when I had a camera on me.

The third is The stand out one for me due to the colours. I think 1+2 could be easily improved with some selective dodging and burning.

Thanks Peter, I have already dialed out some highlights on the branch and fish and lifted shadows particularly on the KF

I know, the windows were screwed shut for the benefit of the KF's this time

The first image was shot from the left-hand side of the hide, about 45 deg to the fairly dirty glass.

I was first in the hide on the 2nd attempt so had choice of position.

A trip to WWT Arundel paid off the other week, light was poor and harsh, All K3iii + 150 - 450 handheld, back next year for another attempt

Morning Micheal

It was Advanced Camera Services as well, I dropped it off in person the middle of April and got it back by courier the end of July.

The service was overall good, i think delays in obtaining the parts plus their workload all contributed to the lenghty time.

They do a CLA as well,

With a filter youll need a tripod and prob wont be able to see the composition with the filter on, it'll have to be composed before you add the filter.

The benefits of a conversion is you can use the camera handheld as normal

I had a K5ii professionally converted last July, due to the increase in shipping and other costs from the far east, components have become more expensive and in shorter supply, the conv was initially estimated at 6 weeks, ended up being 14

A professional conversion these days is over £320
