"borrowed" from the other Pentax site, posted on Twitter ... delivery for just one retailer (yaotomicamera) in Japan apparently.

I have the Sport version in Canon mount and it is an excellent lens, Contemporary is much the same but lacking the build quality, weather resistance and weight. there is no useable Canon or Nikon to Pentax mount adapter.

Buy yourself the C version and a cheap used 7D MKI or Nikon whatever just for wildlife.

It really is a killer combo isn't it and when you consider the lens has been in production for well over ten years and the 7D MKI not far behind. The only reason I sold my 400mm f/5.6 was because Canon bought out the 100-400mm MKII which is as good as the prime but obviously the zoom is a bonus.

I will post some of my Pentax shots in the next few days, have to say the K-1 performed very well considering.

Can't complain about your jet shots and a good set considering the conditions, I had a lot of problems with heat haze (we moan when it's hot, we moan when it's cold) and the metering was way out on a lot of my s. Really like 16 Gareth but your shutter speed was WAY too high on the prop planes, you need around 1/250th or lower to get decent blur otherwise they just look like model kits.

Looks like the SIgma did you proud though

The B2 did a pass through apparently but I didn't see it

Well that timetable was a waste of time.

Good show though, had to leave home at 3.30am to get there before the traffic.

K-3 onwards supported PLM lenses, K-3 was updated with firmware 1.30, this is 1.40

My dad has had a few Saabs in his time ranging from a 95 (which I remember as a kid, it had a funny little rear seat that faced to the rear) with an 8 track stereo to a 9000 turbo. He had a major accident in one coming back from Heathrow airport years ago and the hospital said the only reason he was still alive was because of the Saab build quality.

Do I remeber correctly Mick Mcmanus the wrestler was a Saab enthusiast and a bit like motorbikes whenever you saw one they flashed their lights to each other.
