I haven't been hanging out much lately. Infirmities, both mine and my
dog's have been taking up quite a bit of my available time.
I felt up to taking a light kit to the local wildlife preserve today,
and what could be lighter than a 500mm Mirror Telephoto, with which I
captured this.

Which appears to be a, very lost, Little Blue Heron, well outside his
usual range.
I remember reporting to the list that this freebee lens, to me at least,
seemed to be pretty damned sharp, with the caveat, that it could
actually be focused. I took about 30 shots of this guy before he
decided to fly away, and this is the only one that the damned green
focus confirmation spot was even close with. I really need a decent
split image RF screen to use with the K-5II, unfortunately Katzeye has
finished orders for their last run.
Equipment: Pentax K-5II w/Kalimar MC 500mm Mirror f8.0
As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.
