Ok, wasn't aware of that one, thanks John

At over £1k more then the F4, it'll have to go on the back-burner for a while, particularly as no bonuses will be coming my way for a while

I think its a shame Pentax didn't make it F2.8, although I appreciate this would have probably increased the cost / size and weight, if they had, I'd defiantly consider selling my aged Sigma 70 - 200 F2.8 in favour for a Pentax F2.8 version, based on the 150 - 450 I'm sure the feel and build quality would be better.

A tad to chilly in the evenings to be out laying on the grass, maybe in a month or so plus it'll be lighter in the evening, this is a shot of our friendly hog from last year.

The Hog that's been visiting our since early garden since early 2019 has been out of hibernation since the middle of this month, put food out for him ./ her every night and as regular as clockwork its been in very close to 21:20 each night, then back in the garden around 02:15 looking for more food, its got no chance at that hour, it goes straight to the food tray every time then spends up to an hour in the garden looking for food and exits past the camera.

The camera trap images aren't brilliant quality, but good to see the Hog's been in every night and whats else is about, the local cat for some reason doesn't like the camera trap and wont go near it, which ensures the hog gets his or her food.

Yes, much better now the horizons level, its one of my pet hates unfortunately and I can spot the smallest of slopes

Understand re the converging verticals, I've not shot here before so wouldn't have known its has a storm damage list !!

Well shot and worth the effort in getting there, might be worth a tweak in post to lose the converging verticals imho.

Does the horizon slope left to right very slightly ?
