The feather detail on the Honyeater clearly shows what the 300 is capable of, even more so given there's a converter on it as well, lovely bit of kit.

Sorry if that sounds a bit like "what a nice pic, you must have a good camera" I'm not trying to detract from the fact that it still requires skill to get the shot.

That's your problem Gareth, your supposed to write your files and them store them safely, they're not intended to double up as frisbees when walking the dog

Those are good Don, yet another reason for me to save for the 300, what converter was it?

Thanks for the input folks, I think I'm going to try and find a 1.4 Tak, failing that it'll be a 1.8, I had a play about holding a K mount f2 in front of the bellows and I think I need as much light as possible which rules out the f2.8 Jena.

That's tough luck Steven, even more so with the 70-200 on

If the K3 gets reviews like that then being a Pentax user may become less of a rarity, I like the idea of being able to retrieve RAW data from the buffer after shooting a jpeg, I currently shoot RAW+ and only use about 1% of the RAW files, it would save me a great deal of hard drive space

If you have a K mount 50mm you can use a reversing ring to
fit it to the bellows.
I did consider that Algi but never liked the thought of a lenses gubbins exposed to god knows what, especially when getting up close and personal to creepy crawlies

The Carl Zeiss Jena's seem to go for a reasonable price, anyone got any experience with those?
