Nice, Dave. That FA*400 on the K5ii should give wonderful results. I
tend to use Jack Davis' formula for H/H at 500mm with my Sigma: TAV
1/2000; f8 & let the camera sort out the ISO. With the Sony sensors on
the K5's there is very little noise even at ISO 12800. With the quality
of that F*400 you would probably be quite OK at F5.6.

I put a long lens on the K5ii this morning to try out the AF. Of course, no
birds bothered to show up so I had to make do. This is straight from the
camera, no adjustments except for cropping a bit off the top.

Pentax K5ii with FA*400mm f/5.6, 1/500 at f/8 handheld, 400 ISO. I ended up
using manual exposure for this one as I just couldn't hold it still enough to
lock the exposure.
I've uploaded this one at 950px high (as per PUG guidelines) but I'm not sure
about that size as it doesn't fully fit in my browser window (which,
admittedly, I could enlarge quite easily).
Cheers,
Dave
