Paul if you'd like to try out my 600, we should plan on a meet up. While not a handhold lens it is quite the glass for close up birding. Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original Message - From: "Paul Stenquist" Subject: Re: K3... Thi

Thanks, Dave. I wish I could try some insect shots with the K-3, but last night's snow and freeze has probably done them in for this year. On 11/8/2013 10:02 AM, David J Brooks wrote: finaly real life test. Bird shots look great Dave On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 7:40 PM, Mark C wrote: But in a *g

Hi Paul - Yep, all handheld. I *was* seated in the passenger side front seat of my car, so I had extra support. I was not able to rest the lens on the car door, given where the birds were, so I was basically just sitting there shooting. An FA 400 f4.6 would be sweet... The Tokina lens seems t

Re: K3... This camera is for the birds!!!

All hand held, Mark? Looking forward to getting out with my 60-250, although it's tough to get close enough for shots of small birds. Maybe I can find another egret or heron. Would love to have David's FA 400. My A 400/5.6 is okay but I'd like to take advantage of the K-3's autofocus capability.

Re: K3... This camera is for the birds!!!

Thanks! I was about 15 feet from the birds, which is close to the lens's minimum focusing distance. The flash does not seem to bother them. There were times when the "whi! clank!" of the cam based AF did send them flying. AF on the 400mm Tokina tends to be pretty load and it makes a noticea
