While here back in April, easter week IIRC, there were probably over 100 people showed up throughout the time I was there and I managed to spot no less than 3 fellow Pentaxians... I even let one of them use my tripod as a gesture of fellowship. I did offer the other two but they declined.

Simple, faster and more accurate phase AF, rather like the canon has. My K-7 knocks spots off a friends canon 500d but his AF his WAY better than mine. I know the 5 is better but it's still a long way off the canon.
And maybe twin SD slots

This is a Harris Hawk...
Note the elongate eagle-like beak



This is a buzzard...
Note the over hanging "eyebrows" rather like yours, beak much the same too, I'd say it is of the buzzard family.

Can someone simply buy this lens, if I had the money I would snap it up...

"With the vagaries of personal taste taken into account, no lens, however deluxe, can be called the "best" for everyone, but the Limiteds are certainly among the best. Popular Photography in its March 2002 issue called the Pentax SMC-FA 31mm Limited one of the greatest prime lenses it had ever tested (the other two were the Voigtländer Heliar 50mm f/3.5 and the Nikon Nikkor 45mm f/2.8P Tessar-type. This wasn't clear in the issue itself, but I contacted the Editor, Jason Schneider, who confirmed it). Yet all things considered, the 77mm may be the best lens of the three. A nearly ideal short tele, the 77mm Limited is superb — contrasty, excellent for portraits wide open, with a truly beautiful, delicate bokeh that compliments the almost 3-D vividness of the in-focus image. Tops in its class? There are certainly a lot of great short teles out there. But I can't name an AF SLR short tele I'd put above it."

Don't go for Green! You will only be able to shoot JPEG in green that way losing a huge percentage of the detail in your shots and that lost detail is unrecoverable. The amount of detail you can claw back from a RAW file is amazing. Remember a golden rule, a grainy sharp shot is better than a blurred shot. TAV mode is extremely useful I use it all the time when shooting karting. It gives me controllable DOF and a high shutter speed, I get a fair few grainy shots but it is curable with a bit of PP.

The Sigma 150-500 for £599 at SRS, you will not get better VFM or IQ for that money!

As long as they are for Pentax/Samsung i.e. have a K mount they will fit
