Thanks, Subash. I didn't get that far!

With the K5, 1.7x & any lens, the Focal length selection window appears as soon as the camera is switched on. Of course if you adjust the zoom you would need to repeat the process. The correct adjusted f-stop is transmitted.

Alan, it *looks* like the same bird but it seems they are different:
"African hoopoe differs from the eurasian hoopoe: male African hoopoe has
richer colour above, it lacks the subterminal white band on the crest, and
has black primaries. they are two separated species" (gleaned from the net)
.

Interesting that it is known as the African Hoopoe here yet appears to
be the same bird. Here is a shot of one on my front lawn. Scroll R for
some others.
