Personally I wobble like crazy with a 300mm... I need to get some practice. But then, I do like the light as dusk which may be lovely but not ideal for waving a 300mm lens around hand held!

Lovely shots all but I especially like the last one. The only thing I would suggest is that a little bit more land as a black silhouette would give the photo a base to grow from, if that makes any sense!
Great stuff.
Cheers, Kris.

Bojidar's website gives:
* Trigger Cord M - Attaches to the release socket of Ni-Cd Battery Pack LX or M on one end and to a remote-control accessory on the other. As a special application, two such cords can be used for simultaneous operation of two cameras.
* Winder Remote Cord - connects to the release socket of Winder LX and Winder ME II. Can be used to release the camera's shutter.
I have seen the latter on ebay but never the former, so I guess they are quite rare.
Best wishes, Kris.

As far as I can tell, there was only ever an M and an A version of the 1:2 lens. The M version has the words Asahi opt. Co. Pentax on the bezel.

The pre-flash stuff is a pain. I couldn't get the Pentax AF360FGZ to fire consistently in slave mode and in the end purchased an old small Pentax flash to act as the trigger.
Good luck with it all.

Although not common, it isn't that rare. I have four in my database sold on ebay in the last year. They do go for a fair bit of money though.

Yes, it will work BUT the main problem is the trigger voltage. Old flashes can have very high trigger voltages which may fry the electronics of your camera. There are quite a few old threads on this topic, have a search and read up.

If, having updated your firmware, there is still a problem, return the lens assuming it is under warranty still? There were problems with early versions of this lens and one or two people had to return them but later versions are usually very good.

All three photos are lovely but the rhino one stands out for me too. Very menacing!
