The first shot is a cracker Alan and the last is somewhat of a surprise as it doesn't frequent trees!

Best regards.

Drove down to Margaret River today to shoot birds then on through Augusta to Leeuwin point. 700KM round trip. I'm playing with DR at the moment so apologies in advance to those that dislike the effects.

Comments appreciated. Location: Rockingham front. The restaurant is known as Sunsets.

One might think that you could get used to being here Kris. A good moonrise and long beak. I dislike gulls with a passion, good exposure on the critter though.

Taken this evening with the K10 and 16-50mm.

Great detail Don. You get a better class of spider over there.

So after having a couple of beers in Perth last night with Womble (Kris Lockyear), I was motivated to get out with a MF lens. I popped out this morning with the K10 and the SMC-A 70-210 f/4. Yet again the K10 shows its true qualities and colour rendition. I also feel that getting correct exposure is somewhat more critical with a CCD sensor than CMOS though can't put my finger on the reason.

It seems that the rumour mill is bursting at the seams!

I do recall that there was talk of a new mount for Pentax and now, quite a while later, it's raised its head again. link

If true, the existing kit value will collapse. The recent offers for cheap Ltd.’s with a K5 II body just may be a sign that stock needs to go?
What does not make sense though is the recent introduction of the 560mm.
That said, it may be a simple job to re-mount (factory built) the newer lenses.

Best regards

Seriously consider this lens. link
