Hi!,
I've been seriously hunting for K5II and I noticed that it shows up every other morning at b&h website for $649. I also got a chance to place an order for K5II with 18-135 for $849. But at the moment it shows out of stock. While I am posting this thread K5II body is still available at $649. Grab one if you yearn for it.

I missed the $799 KII with 18-135 lens. It shows discontinued now. Is there any way I could get one. Any chances B&H would stock it again?

Yeah I thought about that :P but then what about little birds why to take away their daily hangout place. It would be like some one blocked a forum member to hang out without any reason.:eek:

Adam, Thanks for putting together these deals. These are great prices, right now I can see Deal 1, 2, 4 as Backordered???? So soon? Also it shows no order at this time before Saturday 9:15pm EDT.
Is there any chance that I could get Deal #1 since it shows back-ordered.

Thanks for quick response. Yes I am gonna buy a feeder, I love these birds. Would not these birds get scared with flash. I read they've very very fast heart beat (250 beats per minute resting and 1250 beats per minute while feeding).

Hi! Gordon, Thanks for suggestions. Could you please suggest such fast telephoto prime lens. Also do the old Takumar or M fall in such category as well. Please name a few models.:)

Hi! Docrwm, I'll try to look around and read more about using Flash in better way. I've not explored how to use flash other than just pop up flash as in Point and shoot and there it goes. I may sound too amateur but then I'm new to DSLR world, learning baby steps.

Hi! Thanks for suggestions.
Question: If I want to keep myself in budget line and use this lens :S-M-C/Super Takumar 200mm F4, would it give me better shots? I am getting this lens for $60 from someone. If not then what are alternative lens. Please name them may be I can make up mind to afford them.
Also, those shots were taken hand held and I've very very shaky hands (I am not old but may be I don't have control on that), that is one of main reason I chose Pentax because of shake reduction technology built in body. I am sure if I take pics using mono-pod or tripod it would be bit better, but I don't own one at this point of time.

Hi! Jim, thanks for suggestions. I am not being able to read in between not very techy with camera terminologies. When you say increase DOF then do you mean that to blur the other area in background and achieved bokeh kind of effect? Also does that mean to use custom AF square dots to focus only on birds?

Thanks are for your suggestions and boosting my morale, I'll try to implement these suggestions. But I did try to use the in-built flash to take birds shot, but those did not come well.

I am not very sure what level I cropped them, but yes most there was always too much noise in all pics I take. These shots of humming birds were taken off neighbors patio :p and its dark shaded area most of the time so may be pics have too much noise. But I've noticed that even the indoor pics show excessive noise. That is why I'm not excited because most of the pics I take indoor have noise and I try to keep below ISO 400. At times the screen ISO indicators start flashing while composing a shot indoor and I've to bump up ISO max upto 800to compensate

Hi! I recently got a K30 and have got 18-55WR and 50-200WR kit with it. Off late been trying to take some good photographs of humming birds!! I know its not an easy subject and add to that I am an amateur photographer. No previous DSLR experience. I do read articles here and there and try to learn basics, buts not up there. I've been shooting humming birds in neighbourhood but not very happy with my shots. I am not sure if kit lens are enough for it.
Would be great if you guys could suggest me some good lens not bomb expensive ones. Old would also be fine. That can help me take very good portrait photographs and humming birds!!!
Attaching a few sample shots I took with K30, for reference. These are taken in dark shaded patio, and have been post processed in Adobe Lightroom. Shutter speed was 1/1000 and ISO 400-800. Lens 50-200 WR at 200mm.
