Unless you are feeding them overmuch, kingfishers are just a dot on a branch, George.

How much for your F* 300 f4.5. I am contemplating spending £550 or more for one. I will gladly relieve you of the responsibilty of caring for yours.

George. If I was drinking spirits on a rocky boat, I would use a tumbler half full. Best be cautious in case the liqour has you rocking too!!
From the middle of the canal you would only need a 50mm lens for wild life. Is your 300mm lens redundant now?? You must know I am desperate for one.

Thought I would bring you to my attention, George. Did it rock your boat??? Or wasn't it your cup of tea??

When it was all over, I wiped my brow and it was wet through. Could have been perspiration, I suppose

I believe Zoerk do an adapter for the Contact T mount to Mamiya. It would mean that I would have two adapters to work through. Not sure how this would affect focus though.

Being devilish, I am wondering if Zoerk do a C...n to Pentax. I see there are plenty of that make available in 300mm. Maybe even a body to have the extra option.

Thanks, John. I knew I could rely upon your expertise. I could not see any primes on the FForbes at 300mm. Am I missing something

Al. It is on a Zeiss lens. I have E.Mailed the lister but they have ignored my request. It is a Zeiss 300mm lens that I just thought might do until I get the right one. What about the Contact/yashica. Is this in any way compatable to Pentax?

Have researched but am still in the dark about this fitting. It is relevant to a Contact/yashica. Is this in any way compatable with Pentax, allbeit with an adapter

Dan. Your wild life photos are stunning, as always and interested to hear that you use the DA. Have you used this with the Pentax 1.7 converter?

John. I am envious of your kingfisher shot. It is photos like these of you guys that drives me on to wanting a 300mm.

I know the DA is currently available, but its price is holding me out for an earlier model. The 4.5 is rated at 10, even higher than the DA on that other Pentax forum, which, I suspect is the reason that they never appear on the marketplace.

I just need to get lucky.

John. I cannot remain in the dark any longer. What does LBA stand for?????
