Sorry to see you go Brian. I know what you mean though, it gets a bit much lugging that lot around sometimes.

Was out this morning driving through the New Forest when a couple of deer walked out of the undergrowth, This one seemed partcularly helpful in giving me the exact pose I wanted.

K-1 and 150-450mm. Please click on picture to get a decent size as we still seem to be in the stone age on this forum with regard to displaying photos.

I have been trying to get a decent picture of a woodpecker for a few years now but never managed it. We have recently purchased a bungalow to do up and I was talking to someone the other day and they mentioned a wood which is well known for birds which is on the way to the property so I decided to stop and have a look. Took the K-1 and 150-450mm just in case.

First one was a bit far away

Clicking on the pictures doesn't really give enough resolution to form an opinion.

I would imagine the Samyang would be a lot better if you were going to try any astro work (something I have been meaning to do for years) but then if you go down the 11-18mm route you probably wouldn't need it anyway.

In that case I will wait until you have sold out before asking about trading in my F/2.8 for the F/4

Any news about the new body Chris?

Cheaper than the current 60-250mm price by quite a margin. (SRS £1230).

We really are in need of a full frame 1.4x teleconverter now, the 70-210mm, 70-200mm, 150-450mm and presumably the upcoming FF 70-300mm could all make use of one.

It's well documented on Pentax rumours. It does look as if it may be delayed till summer this year though.

Best regards
Pentax rumours get all of it's information from posts on Pentaxforums and we all know how much wild speculation goes on there
