Thanks,
These were with the K3II. I no longer have the KP. Paired with the DA560, I still preferred the K3II.

The evening sunset was just as nice as the sunrise that morning...

I am getting my 560 tomorrow ! I just joined the forum yesterday and have just spent the last hour looking at all the spectacular images posted here on the 560 club. Glad nobody was home to see me staring at the screen with my jaw dropped open. Truly amazing images ! I have dreamed of having a lens with these capabilities for years. Tomorrow is my day ! I hope my research and studies have prepared me to maybe get one good shot on my first day with it. lol Any tips ? I'm not a professional photographer by any stretch but love photographing birds and other wildlife. I've never used a lens like this before but did purchase a really good tripod and gimbal head. It will take some getting used to I'm sure. Wish me luck !!!

I was able to get a few nice pics with my new DA560, need some practice but I'm pretty happy with first day out with it. New camera as well so definitely more outings are necessary. Comments are most welcome !

Spectacular job and your first shots! You make it look easy.

I picked up the used HD Pentax-DA 560mm ED AW lens that Roberts Camera was selling on eBay, and it seems brand new. It came with everything but the paperwork. I’ve looked all over the web for a pdf of the Operating Manual, with no luck. Does anyone have one they would be willing to scan and post?

Thanks,

Mike
