Based on the inherent difficulties of MF mirror lenses and poor IQ of a lot of the 3rd party products. Why not hire a long lens? Depending on your destination state, you can pre-order the lens to be shipped to your destination for the days or weeks that you will use it.
Just a thought.

Pentax L versions of their DA lenses are lighter, with plastic instead of metal mounts, no Quick Shift and no hood included. The optics are the same as the standard DA versions.
Personally, I'm not rushing to get a 55-300 in the hope that there will be a Water Resistant version!
Cling film, Denzo tape or Waxoil?Pentax L versions of their DA lenses are lighter, with plastic instead of metal mounts, no Quick Shift and no hood included. The optics are the same as the standard DA versions.
Personally, I'm not rushing to get a 55-300 in the hope that there will be a Water Resistant version!
Failing those, cut a suitable length of 100mm dia drain pipe down its length and use it as a canopy? Telephoto lenses with tripod mounts are excellent for this as the mount rotates to the top and the canopy screws straight on..

So do you keep it off the floor whilst out & about? I use Lowepro AW's and have no issues of sitting them on mud, snow, wet grass etc, I somehow don't see people doing that with Billingham's? When they get really dirty, I wash them in a bath or shower.PeteL wrote:

Will you do next year what you never got round to doing this year?
What did you want to photograph and didn't?
Will you actually read the camera manual so you know what adjusts what, rather than fumble through the menu whilst out on a shoot?
Will you stop and think about shutter speed, ISO and aperture?
You have the kit, but have you developed a photographic eye?
all of the above should not be considered until well after 8AM on New Years Day
I WILL shoot a roll of film in the first week of January!!!!

Well it looks like the best software out there is the one that your happy using? I think that the OP has drawn plenty of good replies and left most people better informed.
Happy New Year
