Wow thats impressive dave

thanks guys helpful tips there

A surprise visitor to the local river on Saturday.

High ISO unfortunately but what a treat!

Ive been using my newly acquired K5 for two weeks now.

I did a whole days shooting with it yesterday but wasnt blown away by the battery performance.

Perhaps someone can assist me with a few these observations?

1) Ive only ever used batteries so battery packs are new to me. Is it too much to ask for 250 shots out of one battery?
I got the red light quickly followed by the battery depleted after shooting for thirty minutes and add to change to another.
2) When the second battery was depleted I had to revert back to the original that gave me ten more shots.
3) When I put the battery on the charger when the green light disappears does that mean its fully charged?

A series of Treecreeper shots with the K-x and kit 55 200

I was able to get within touching distance of this bird.

Like i said on my gallery image when you have been shooting nothing but sigma 150 500 on your camera for months and finally put a Pentax Lens on you realise quickly just how fine their glass is even with their kit stuff.

This image is basically out of the camera with colour correction.

(Kx and 55-200)





I cannot wait to get a DA* 300!

two great shots

Reed Bunting taken with K5 and Sigma 150 500

F10 to get the best out of this lens at 500mm

I sooooooooooooooooooooo want this lens!

yes they are very accommodating.

Its crap!

Not impressed at all.

What about remote triggers that you see attached to the top of some cameras? Are they compatible with Pentax bodies?

This is the sort of thing that I would need to get for far off work. The catch in focus setting just doesnt cut the mustard.
