If they don't like looking, nothing forces it on them. On the other side of the ledger, some of us get a lot of enjoyment from these pictures.
Well, thanks to all who posted here. I got a great kick from everyone's squirrels. Rupert, hope to see you again, and thanks for all the tips on the 50-500.

Why Pentax ?

At first, I bought Pentax because I needed a camera for my youngest brothers wedding. Pentax was the best deal.I broke the autofocus that night on a drunken beach walk after the reception. When years later I decided to give photography another try, well...I had two lenses from the last one, so....Pentax it was. I put the old lenses on the new camera...decided I needed some new ones...and it's all been one vicious circle from that day to this...got addicted to K-3s, wanted to take pics of birds, longer glass, faster glass, and now wider glass...along with primes, super zooms, yada, yada,yada. The whole sordid story. And now I'm old and folks keep telling me I should be using this camera or that camera, nag, nag, nag....which pretty much assures I'll die shooting Pentax. It just happened to me....

Thank you...although any softness should be attributed to shaky hands rather than anything else :lol:

Love the P-51 shot. Next to the P-47, it's my all time favorite warbird.

(Laughing) Yep. Mine's two weeks old. I should offer to purchase my next lens from them after polling everyone's preference for a new lens, then asking for a cut of all the savings that will ensue once I make my purchase and the price subsequently plummets....

Hello....just a suggestion based on my past experiences: especially if I have left batteries in the camera for a while, the contacts lose their "spring", meaning the are not "pushing" up against the battery ends. Try gently prying them up, just a bit.

This worked with my old istDL after I had tried everything I could find on line with no results.

Good luck,
Bam
