Everyone's talking about Lexar, but aren't Sandisk faster?
Having said that, has anyone tried this one? It seems to be very fast.

Bodies very clean. No issues. One has screen protectors. £240 each.
Lenses are all pristine.
Give me a shout, I'll tell you all about them.

Fabulous! Number 4. Number 4!

Lens arrived - pristine, lovely. Cute little lens, ideal for traveling
Thank you.

Cool thanks Gwyn, should be ok then

Things have changed since I last went on holiday.
I've got a wedding to photograph in Scotland and they are flying me on one of those little Hairy planes.
I've got 10kg walk-on luggage, which is enough for my entire kit:
Two bodies, 6 lenses, two flashes, umbrella and all the batteries and triggers = 9KG and fits in one bag.
You gotta love little Pentaxes.
Tripod, light stand and reflector can go in the hold I'm guessing.

Is there anything I need to know about batteries or pointy umbrellas or whatever the scaremongers have now banned?

Sorry, Michael, I sent you the message. lol

I'm a bit confused what we're talking about here. Have you bought the 300 f4, or wanting one?
I have the A*300 f4 on the Zed. Seems very similar to the DA*300 in performance (but not magnification of course). It's got a really heavy front element

I agree with Richard, however ...
That bit ^ is the wrong way round. Small aperture number = wide open and narrow depth of field.

I totally agree about not trusting the auto focus to follow something coming at you. Manual and pre-focus can be almost 100% accurate with just one shot. Burst mode is worth a try but it might go off either side of the focus if you're unlucky.

As for back button focus - this is no time to start trying that and in this scenario it's just not necessary.
