Thanks Zos. I only migrated to digital last year. I have an FA 28-80 & a
100-300, carry overs from a Z70 which suffered terminal mirror failure (that
little plastic gear which splits). Still have a functional ME super. I found
a cheap 2nd hand K110D body to go on with (new Pentax stuff costs a fortune
in SA), but have a K7 (ex Mark Cassino) on the way. My daughter will bring
it in Sept. The 28-80 is a bit soft at bigger apertures but the 100-300
seems very good to me. The zebra shot was taken with the same lens at 160mm.
I have several older lenses too but will wait for the K7 to properly
evaluate them. I don't really mind MF & I find calculating the exposure is a
good mental exercise. At least you can easily make a correction & you don't
waste film!

Nice pano! You use a K110D? Interesting. What do you think of the
100-300? I hear its not all that great.

is quite a big herd. There is a 2m croc on the bank at the lower left. I
took the 3 shots in this pano about an hour before the zebras.
