Both shots were just hand held blaze infact the swan shot was taken in a crouched position over the pond.

I also use a Tamron 70/300 which although never seems to get a positive mention never seems to let me down.

These were taken at the air show just last saturday. I suppose its down to what suits you at the time may be in a few years after gaining more knowledge I may see the flaws in the photos but as for now both lenses suit my taste. These were taken with the Tam 70/300 on the Kr.

Is there any chance of members posting more of the trial photos this is an interesting apprroach and as said worth the few pounds just to give things a whirl.

So out of the two systems employed by pentax and nikon to stabalize the camera does one work better than the other. A freind of mine has nikon kit but i think he pays more for his lenses with vr than the pentax version of the same lens.
