Hi everyone!
I've been enjoying your photos, posts, and info on this thread for some time now.
I've owned my (new to me) K-50 for quite a few months now and have taken some beautiful images using the DAL WR kit lenses.
With an interest in capturing wildlife, I was becoming frustrated with the kit lenses and their lack of reach.
So here's what went down on my lens safari.... first I purchased a Pentax DA 55-300 from KEH in excellent condition. Then, while that lens was in transit, I found a Tokina AT-X AF SD 400mm f5.6 for sale, also at a reasonable cost.
So now I am learning everything about with these two (very different) new lenses and enjoying both very much.
Here's a couple of recent examples with my Pentax DA 55-300:
1/320 at f=5.8, ISO 500, 300mm, handheld (cropped)
1/320 at f=5.8, ISO 500, 300mm, handheld (cropped)
And here's a couple taken with my Tokina AT-X AF SD 400mm f5.6
1/500 at f=11, ISO 200, handheld (cropped)
1/500 at f=11, ISO 200, handheld (cropped)
We're really looking forward to contributing to the group.
Have FUN!

Hi again everyone.
Unfortunately I haven't had much time to in the field with my new (to me) K50. Did take a few shots during the ice storm today though.
I'd be happy to post some of the shots I've taken with my Canon SX50 HS of the Moon. Actually I'll post a few that I took the first weekend I had that camera. Didn't have a tripod with me, but I did rest the body on a window-sill of the hotel I was staying in.
The first photo attached to this post was taken at full zoom (with no optical zoom). 215mm f6.5.....
Keep in mind, the crop factor that the small sensor and lens combo has, means the effective magnification is very high for that focal length.
The second image has a lot of optical zoom applied (in the camera). The third shot was a RAW image that I made minor adjustments to in Adobe Camera Raw.
The final shot was a couple of weeks later when the moon, clouds and trees were playing very nicely.
