At the range I shot the "birds" 75-100yds the results are favorable compared even to the FA*600mm.
Just more time and good weather to try it out further!

Just a few more shots from today, needless to say nothing much about again.
Full shot from about a mile away.
And cropped.

First impressions Nuri, very pleased. Managed to walk further easily yesterday with camera,lens and tripod on my shoulder compared to FA 600mm. Focus is snappy, sharp wide open and colour rendition is good.

First few shots with the DA 560mm, all taken at a good distance, sorry the subjects are nothing exceptional or unusual.
Hope you find them useful.
Only drawback today, trying to keep my good lady from using it.

Not a silly question at all, simply nearly 4kg lighter! I used to be 6'4" but now 5,10" after lugging the FA 600mm, camera and tripod around and I'm not getting any younger!Hope this isn't a silly question, but if you've got a Pentax-FA* 600mm F4 ED, why get the 560/5.6 ?
