I count at least 5 reflections on that one so I think it would be virtually impossible to do with any real success.

Nice picture though.

I really like numbers 3 & 4.

I have nearly decided to buy the lens but I'm just not sure if it is a major leap from my FA 80-320mm.

Thanks for the identification

Quite like this one ...

Not sure what it is as I'm not a twitcher but I'm sure someone can tel me

This was taken with a Pentax K10D and a FA 80-320mm lens. I am currently trying to decide if I should keep this lens, the Tamron 28-300mm or sell both and buy the new Pentax DA 55-300mm so I will probably stick the Tamron on now and try and get some pics to compare with these over the next few days.












And a bit of a strange looking one .. mid jump.

Like that one, looks like he is coming in for a fast landing.

Just as a matter of interest how much do you use autofucus when doing macro, I only have MF lenses and dont seem to have much luck capturing anything that is even slightly moving.

Strange looking thing, looks like an insect version of Rolf Harris, or maybe that's just me

you really have no idea how bad the dust really is do you, when I say bad, I mean BAD as in dust and little black hairs right in all corners of the viewfinder where I have pushed it while trying to clean.
I will wait for my brush to arrive first though, just to see if it can do a reasonable job.

I sent an email to Pentax UK and they quoted me a price of £25 plus return postage and VAT to clean it.
I thought that was quite reasonable actually.

Thanks, will wait until next week and see if the brush makes a difference.
I think it will have to be a Katzeye unless Pentax make something similar.

The Ebay one is ok until you go past around F8 and then it totally blacks out in one half which is pretty useless as my camera is basically stuck on F16 these days.

Like an idiot I purchased a split focus screen for my K10D to aid manual focus macro stuff and it was basically a load of rubbish so I put back the original.
I now have half a ton of dust behind the screen and a ruddy great fingerprint on the screen itself (sigh).

So anyway, I am going to buy myself another screen but how do I get rid of all the dust, I have tried my rocket blower and have a brush coming next week which may help but just wondering if anyone has any useful tips.

Thanks.
