Two grizzlys at the same time and not in the zoo (O_O) It would be no motion blur if I were there with the camera because I'd freeze of fear. Great photos.
By the way the translation of my name is bear :) //Björn

Sweden use only the Krona but some shops may accept Euro. For now it seems as it was a good idea to stick with the Krona since both Euro and USD have lost a lot in value.
I've sometimes seen the 500mm for sale at eBay, mostly in good condition but as this was in pristine condition I decided to buy it. I may have to add some costs because of the weight of the 500mm, It's not working good with a usual ball head so I'm considering bying a Gimbal head so that I can move the lens more freely. I've also read that the Gimbal is great for panoramas and I really like to take panorama photos. And I will of course use it with my 60-250mm and 180mm because both of them is about 1,3 kg (3lbs). Seems as if Gimbal costs about 130£ at eBay

edit:
I have now bought a Gimbal head from eBay India.

No, not at all. They didn't ask for much (anyway not in my opinion). Only 578 US$ (and shipping cost 119 US$). And as dollar current rate has fallen a lot against SEK it was a real bargain.
I have checked the lens out and I say it again. It's like new :rolleyes:. No dust whatsoever, no fungus or haze and no signs of use. Maybe the first owner thought it was to heavy to use and have had it stored away all the time since it was new
To tell you the truth I maybe ought not to use it because it's in such a good condition that it should to be sent to a museum:p Well I guess I'll have to be very carefull when I use it.
I wonder if there's any reason to place a UV-filter in this lens? I usually use UV-filters only for protection of the front lens but this lens have the filter in the back. Does UV-filter have any positiv effects that could give me a reason to keep a filter in the back of the lens?

Bought this smc PENTAX 500mm f/4.5 from Japan on 1st of March and it arrived today.
I'm not sure what you call it but I think you say "mint condition". Anyway it looks like new and newer used :) so I'm very pleased. I've used a 400mm earlier but I have had trouble finding for example flying birds and other things moving in time to get the photo. But the sight that I've put a mark around makes it really fast to find whatever you want to so it's very useful. When I use the sight I'll find birds in the sky or anything else at once. Hope I will have some good photos of wildlife to share here in the spring.
