Nice shot Allen. That would be a fantastic trip and seeing you were able to get such a close up of such a neat thing watching the mom and her cubs feeding. The Tamron has the reach but just think what a DA60-250 with a teleconverter could show with the pop that that it has or a DA* lens. I'm partial still seeing those in the galleries and other forums. I have a Sigma 70-200 HSM and the colours aren't the same as a Pentax but I needed the speed.

thanks for the comment

right now my interest is in wild life photography and also I am kinda interested in macro

we just returned from an celebratory, (25th Wedding Ann.) "northern circuit safari" in Tanzania and are in the midst of planning for our first trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks next summer

the zooms give me good flexibility immediately but I am interested in good prime but -----

here is one of the photos from the safari, this one from the Serengeti National Park

mother and young cub (estimated at less than 4 months old b/c of its coat) feeding on a Thompson's Gazelle.

K 5 II + Tamron AF 70-300mm F4-5.6 LD Macro 1:2

thanks for the comment but a lot of the credit goes to our experienced Guide John Ngoma who placed us in the right spot all the time, especially for the mother cheetah and cub. initially we were all alone and then two other vehicles came in as well so it was a great opportunity.

we stayed while the cheetahs fed then left, then vultures came in and then a single black-backed jackal.

I was lucky to have the K 5 II and the Tamron 70 - 300 mm which I bought for the trip, other wise I would have been using a *1st DL and manual focus Vivitar Series 1 70 - 210 mm macro focusing zoom and/or a Vivitar Series 1 200 mm prime (auto focus in lens)

I bought the Fuji X-T1. Love it. No regrets. I even had some of the best Pentax lenses money could buy including the FA 31 and F*300.

Since February 2015 when I first posted on this thread the two lens kit I had then (18-135 and Bigma 50-500)have been replaced by the 16-85 and 55-300.
Still happy with this minimalist set which does most of what I require in a WR form.The only real LBA I have is for the updated PLM version of the 55-300 but as Pentax aren't going to update the firmware on the K5 series I'll live with what I've got until I can afford to upgrade the body (no time soon )

[bdery]

I feel like a fraud. My total is

DA 21mm Limited
FA 43mm Limited
FA 77mm Limited
DFA 100mm macro WR

DA* 60-250mm (modified for FF)
DA 16-85mm

FA 50mm F1.4 (will be sold when I complete a comparative review)
M 50mm F1.4 (will also be sold when review is completed)

[savoche]

I feel like a fraud.
