A nicely caught little friend, I like the sun spot on the top of him. And no, I'm not referring to the lens. It is nice too, but definitely not little. You may want to try it with the poor mans Wimberley, the Manfrotto 393. I have a lot of fun with that combo.

Just before Thanksgiving I purchased a K 500 f/4.5 from KEH to use for my bird photography. I figured with all the folks jumping on the K10D bandwagon that the older pentax lenses might get scarcer yet. And since I can't afford the dream FA* 600/4 yet that this may be the next best substitute. I got a brief chance last weekend to try it out and it is really not bad at all other than the manual focus required. But there is no way effectively to shoot with it hand held. I managed to get a couple decent bird shots, one of which was my first encounter with the Golden Crowned Kinglet. By this time of the day the light was beginning to dwindle so I felt very fortunate to capture this little fellow: http://ct.pbase.com/ o6/87/63987/1/70993547.eNCzrQG2.GoldenCrownKinglet2.jpg Taken with the *istDL.
