Ssshh, don't tell anyone but Pentax have a secret weapon.
It's called an istD. A 6MP giant killer. Load it with a Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 Mk1 and a matching 1.4x EX TC and remove the safety.
It's a killer combination.

Plus I can't stand Apples attitude. They won't even let me buy an
MP3 off their site unless I install ITunes on my PC which I will never do!
I can't even play a crappy Quicktime movie without the codec calling home.
My PC belongs to ME...... well a bit belongs to Microsoft and a bit to
Google and a bit to Adobe....... and a bit to Virgin but, they let me use
it when I want...... None of it belongs to Norton/Symantec
Lot of anger there. Why would you want to buy MP3's from Apple if you dislike them so much?PC.... I can't see any point in paying twice as much for the same stuff.

I download elsewhere and use Media Monkey to load & remove tracks on the iPod's.
Since Symantec bought Norton, it has been a cancer on hard drives.

No honestly - have seen comments about two handed focussing, but is there anything else. Cos I have a Tammy 500 and can't get that to work!
The mounting must be solid, most of the time, I used a naked tripod, no head on it. Just fastened the lens to the thread - direct.K10D wrote:

What do you mean by 'carefully' - Not pointing at PolicemenI have one. Probably 30 years ago when I bought mine. A great lens if used carefully.

Any inclination was by the leg heights.
Cable or timer release and VERY careful focus.
This is a large lump. The 500mm mirrors are not in the same league for size and weight.
The focus is either on or off, there's very little DOF, assume zero!
When you say can't get the Tammy to work, what do you mean?

I agree a crop will not work, shrubs cloned in and a cloud added to fill in the space above the Abbey.
