Who's Tim? (another senior moment :lol

Depending on the time of day you go, the Bigma will be long enough but may not be fast enough.

I'd go with the 50-135mm personally and get as close as you can without falling in.

A shutter speed of 1/320 or faster will freeze the action and you may have to use ISO 400/800 to get a decent aperture.

The short answer is try both lenses.

We'd need to know which lenses you have and how close to the leap can you get.

The use of the OK button to change the ISO setting is very useful in TAv mode where the two dials usually have their normal assignment.

I haven't posted because:-

I don't have any primes with fungus . . . yet.
I did have a couple of zooms with fungus but I've cleaned them, re-tested them, and sold them.

If/When I get an infected prime you'll be the first to hear about it Jack.

. . . but not from the K20D it seems. Mine is V2.4.1 and it crashes. DNG's are fine.
No problem on my computer, both K20D PEF's and DNG's are okay.
I get "rt.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" when I select a folder that contains .PEF files. JPG's and DNG's do not cause this error.

It's of no matter to me anyway, I use Lightroom.

Try RawTherapee, it's free. A £14 copy of Lightroom will be an illegal copy.
Peter, do you use this for PEF or DNG files please? When I try to open a PEF file the software crashes!
Curious, it crashes when trying to open .PEF files from my K20D too.

I don't actually use it, I just gave it a trial. It is able to open .PEF's that have been converted to .DNG's in Lightroom though. I haven't tried .DNG's straight from the camera.
