Stunning. Been to Queensland many times. On holiday coming from the Netherlands. Next time I must make sure to be in the right place at the right early time. 😊

I use a rubber hood for the FA50 and I like it a lot because I'm convinced that it improves IQ and it can stay on the lens in the bag because you can fold it back.

Last thursday a severe storm hit the Netherlands. A tree landed in our front garden. The next day, to my surprise, a sparrow hawk landed in the former treetops, right in front of our house. I managed to get some shots through the front window. K-3 en Sigma 300mm are excellent compagnions.

Cheers, Ron

Thanks for all the responses. It hasn't brought me any closer to a decision but, on the other hand, there's no rush.

I'm thinking about buying a 15mm lens for my K-1. The Irix seems attractive but what about Sigma's 15mm 2.8 AF?
Any advice?
Cheers, Ron
