Hi

As per my PM I have a Tamron 500mm Mirror lens that I' prepared to sell. However, in my opinion it isn't really suitable for a safari. Whilst it is possible to hand hold the Tamron it is best on a tripod. If I were you I would use the 70-300 that you are used to.

if you have the funds then consider hiring the DA*300 and converter as suggested.

Good luck.

Hi guys

I did send a pm to you both, but it was from my phone on the hospital network, it might have blocked it. I'll on you both when I get home at about 8pm,

Cheers

I really like these David.

I work in medical x-ray with grey scale images all day long, I guess this is why I go for bright vibrant colours in my photography - but this has inspired me to try some B&W and possibly some IR.

Cheers

i'm itching to get out and try it with a range of glass - but I'm working tomorrow

Debating with myself on the Fluard - i'd like to try the remote options. any thoughts anyone?

In York today and as always I do a bit of window shopping at the York CameraMart and I couldn't resist. Now the proud owner of a shiny new K3. So I rushed home and unpacked it - paired it up with a SMC-F 50 f1.4 and had a walk around the garden. Really pleased with the initial results.

This is quite a generous crop of the above



These were shot as PEF and processes using Aperture, as per an earlier post I found that whilst Aperture reported the Lens used OK with my K5 with the K3 version of PEF Aperture doesn't report the Lens. Switching to DNG resolves this - guess another update from Apple is needed.

Really need to sell my K5 now.

Weekend Bump

Sale agreed for the 40mm XS.

Just the K5 kit left now. I've had a P/X offer for this. I would prefer to sell direct so will reduce my price to the same as the P/X offer of £330. Please PM me if you need any more deals.
