The other day I took this photo of the unknown insect with a wasp on it's head. After a few days the thing has still not moved so decided to prod it and see what occured.
Nothing happened so picked it up and low and behold its just the skin left. Brought it inside (much to the disgust of the wife) and take a couple of photos.

Decided to get the flash out and have a play but notice the manual says that the flash confirmation should blink when the correct settings are decided in camera but mine does not.
They seem to be communicating fine with regard to zoom and distance (having read the sticky about distance and iso/ap).

Thought it may be the lens but seems not as I put the kit one on just to make sure.

Actually imo nuber 6 is pretty special as well.

Yes, they will be "barking" mad when they see yours.

Well found myself a mint 16-45mm with filter off the "other" Pentax forum for £130 delivered so that is hopefully on its way as I type.

Thanks for the input.

The optics in the 1.7x AF do the AF
The lens just sits there without adjusting focus at all, and the 1.7x optics are moved to provide focus
Ah right, I presumed something in the converter adjusted the focus of the lens itself somehow.
Thanks.

Thinking about it that would be virtually impossible

Over on another forum I use everyone plus their dog is posting airshow pictures at the moment and I must say that first one is absolutely streets ahead.

I presume you are quite pleased with the 55-300mm?

Ah well, thats another idea out the window .. thanks for that

How does the quality of the lens hold up with the converter then as it would make the 100mm f2/8 macro a useful size.

Hmm, could I rip out the optics?
