Does anyone know if there are any plans to release this for Pentax?

Seems good value in other mounts.

Thanks.

I thought so too.
I think it may be an idea to do the same thing but using a tripod plus at the same time of day. The lighting and shadow is quite a bit different after a few hours.(although its still blistering hot here atm and I cannot walk outside bearfoot due to my feet burning on the concrete slabs).

I may also pop over to the house and tell him to get his solar panel looked at .. he has only had it installed a couple of months and it looks mighty iffy to me.

It wasnt actually a comparison but anyway.

Same shot (more or less) without TC and cropped.
Without a tripod on either shot though the focus could be slightly out on either.

And without cropping.

Quite impressed actually, this was at full focus and hand held
Much better than my 80-320mm or Tamron 28-300mm.

Would be interested to see how the new 55-300 compares.

All that was done was auto adjustment in Lightroom.

Heavy ****** though.

Interesting.
On AV Forums there is a chap that has a Nikon D3 that supposedly has weather sealing.
He took it out in light rain and the result .. one dead camera and a bill for over £500.
I think he has now managed to get it done for free but even so .. a 3k camera cannot stand a drizzle of rain!!

So on User I can lock in a F setting of say F/16, an iso of 400 and then whenever I need those quickly I can just turn the dial to User?

Suppose I had better unwrap the manual then ....
