Thanks. I understand that they will not work fully with HSM or PLM lenses - or have I got that wrong?
Sigma screw drive lenses still work well with it though.

Does anyone know how to fix that damned pin?
BTW, the war reference made me smile.
Brute force got my first one off as well ... only had the camera a few days.

I have a M somewhere.
I can have a look tomorrow.

Know the feeling Mike, just getting a bit old now.
All joking aside, someone on the Talk Photography forum has an Olympus OM-D E-M1X and has just got the new 150-400mm with built in telelconverter. He is getting fantastic shots with it even using the built in converter and adding the 2x converter .... 1000mm on a micro 4/3 sensor so 2000mm FF equivalent.
The whole thing is probably only slightly larger than a K-3II and FA* 400mm f/5.6

I dislike the faff of changing lenses, and am getting a bit fed up carting a load of gear around.
1) Buy a very good bridge camera. The Sony R10iii comes to mind. (The R10iv is a bit 'rich for me at the moment)
2) Buy a better camera body. Possibly a KP or K70
3) Although the same option as (2) consider a K1
4) Stick with what I've got but buy a better lens (thinking air display photography and nature stuff)
The question is ... which is more important to you, picture quality or portability.
