I also have a copy of this lens recently bought from SRS. I can confirm that it is a pleasure tu use ac dis at least on par with the least versions of Nikon 80-400 or Canon 100-400. I have posted some pics in my gallery.

100% (great) cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo. Adult - juvenile has pale belly and chest. Beloved by fishermen!

A bit of additional info gleaned from a Pentax employee manning the Pentax stand at this years Bird fair at Rutland. 'Two new bodies to be announced in September' Apparently they will have everything we are looking for!!

Do any of you guys out there have any knowledge, use a digital projector for presentations/talks? There seems to a paucity of information in the camera mags on this subject. I assume that LCD is better than DLP technology when it comes to projecting stills? I am looking for a 2,000 to 3000 lumens, XGA projector but what manufacture and where to buy from in the UK. Any info would be gratefully accepted.
