Well I have read quite a few posts of late that seem to get the OP "Into Trouble" and get the impression that, on occasion, we all seem to get oh so serious about the smallest things. Life is too short - we should be out there enjoying it, not sat in front of a computer venting our wrath so to speak. Assumptions appear to have been made that after a certain age, we all eat the same sweets, watch/listen to the same programmes and all have similar medical conditions...I found the OP quite amusing to read, in that vein, and did not let it get to me one jot. It is a shame that a member of this site should feel that their only course of action left is to leave the forum. There is so much more to photography than petty squabbles and becoming all steamed up about something. At a certain age one must watch the blood pressure, keep taking the vitamin supplements and if cocoa at bedtime is your thing whilst watching the party political broadcast - each to his own...
300mm would be the minimum I would take for game shots. My wife used the 55-300 and I used the f*300 (Great rugged lens), when we went to Kenya last year. Rocket blower IS a must for getting the dust off, as well as a soft camel hair brush for a clean up of kit at the end of the day. I did take a 50mm macro for insects etc - but that's just me. The lens also doubled up for the general shots. The second camera body could be for SWMBO!

I am slowly discovering mostly how the K5 works but am frustrated with the manual. My hands cannot cope adequately with this stiff backed booklet.
There must be alternative manuals. Can a K5 user give reccommendations, please.

The Robin in my garden was posing on the bird bath, on the edge of the waterfall in the pond etc etc. Get the camera out - not a dicky bird!

Sorry our efforts were in vain. Hope you get an early, and not too expensive, resolution soon...
