Yes, Larry, harassing the lizards & asses! The combination works well &, as you say, versatile & capable (light too). Several members of the local Pentax group use the 18-270 & some the older 18-250 screw drive too. I use my 55-300 HD on the K5 as a walk-around lens with great success. Never

Dan was such a humble and helpful person. We adored him and looked forward to his posts and photos. PDMLers all over the world adored him - like me from Canada / India. We shall see him as a shiny star in the Heavens above and as an inspiration to all of us. Bipin Bihari Gupta. Advisor Nissan ME,

Well, this is certainly sad news. Dan was a genuinely good guy, an unfailingly positive presence here on The List, and a joy to interact with off list. The moderator request queue will never be the same. I can't think of many photographers who had Dan's gift of keeping his photos in their own

Thank you for sharing this sad news Bruce. He will be missed by his fellow photo enthusiasts here and elsewhere in the virtual meeting rooms. I always enjoyed his positive and thoughtful comments. I am sorry I never had the opportunity to meet him in person. Stan > On May 10, 2023, at 7:27

This is hard to write...  I knew a bit more about how serious his illness was and the nature of it before he mentioned on the list that he was going to have surgery. We had been sharing our WORDLE answers in emails and in early March he wrote that he ws going in for surgery and why - he asked
