Gareth, i believe the M75-150 was flash man Nigels most go to lens . His profile should be here with the ability to see many of the excellent images he got. Had the A70-210 f4 but it is a very heavy lens albeit with very good results.

thanks for looking and comments . Really liking the little !st DL for IR but think something with live view would make focusing easier. Converted K7 maybe but converted pentax are very rarely for sale. Have considered converting K3ii to full spectrum but need to look into that more for any real downsides.

perhaps a lot cannot justify 2 grand on a new toy after the situation we have been through over the last 18 months and maybe there are more important things in life. Some may well have lost their livelyhoods

thanks for looking and comments. The 1stDL was partnered with the Pentax F35-70 so making quite a compact kit to carry around. John, i had not noticed that but i see now it has a bit of a Zombie movie look, perhaps they were

no moveable screen, tilt or fully articulated will give all the Pentax bashers a field day. BIG MISTAKE i think as surely it should be standard fitment now. Doesn't bother me personally as i don't intend to buy another camera. The K3ii is more than capable for my needs.
