Hi,
I've just returned from Pentax & Natural Habitat Adventures - Polar Bear Photo Tour.
It was standard Natural Habitat Classic Polar Bear Photo Adventure but with two Pentax photographers: Kerrick James
http://www.kerrickjames.com and Julie Quarry.
To say a true I was only one Pentax user in group of 16 people
Kerrik and Julie did good job helping other people and promoting Pentax gears - K-7, K-x and some lenses.
Trip was well organized - the only problem was weather. For 24 hours in tundra we had only 1,5 hour of sun
I took with me my standard kit: K20D, (K200D as backup), Pentax 12-24, tamron 28-75/2.8 and Sigma 100-300/4 with TC1.4 and TC2. In addition I took FA77Ltd.
DA12-24 was used very rarely as TC2. Mainly I used Sigma 100-300 with or without TC1.4.
I borrowed K-7 and DA*300 for half of day but disn't used it intensively.
