K 35/3.5, M 50/1.7, plus any of the 135/3.5 lenses (or a CZJ 135/3.5 (zebra) in M42 mount with an adapter).

Modern zoos are way ahead of what they were in the past. They certainly offer us the chance to get up close (if not quite personal) with animals most of us could never see in the wild. In that way, they must make us more aware of those animals and (hopefully) the environmental challenges they face. There are zoo bred animals today which are extinct in the wild and which hopefully will offer us the chance to re-establish wild populations when circumstances permit. Zoos serve many useful purposes. Offering us subjects to photograph is just one and we should not dismiss it for the wrong reasons.

Keep looking for a K-3 or K-3ii - or hang on for the new APS-C flagship. Interchangeable batteries is a bonus if you stay with those choices.

Certainly is good CGI. Thanks for posting it. But the Pentax connection? Hypothetically, maybe it will be produced with Pentax on the front and Ricoh on the back.:lol::lol:

The do look like flavoursome apples (worms or not)! Nice shot.
(What's worse than finding a worm in your apple? Finding half a worm!)

Lovely shot, EM. That is a very subtle pink.

First things first - welcome to the Forums. Now your images - they are nice. You have an artist's eye for composition. The rest will come later. But give us a few more details about yourself - What are you looking to achieve from your photography? etc You are fortunate in being an artist. I think it is easier for an artist to become a photographer than for a photographer to become an artist. And speaking of art, what medium do you prefer?

Hi Brian, another welcome from Australia. Those are nice pics you have posted and it sounds like you have really got the bug - a 560mm new!!

I was there in September 2016. It was quite easy to get shots with no people in the frame. 18mm would have been my widest (on APS-C) and I had no problems getting what I wanted. I think you can only walk around inside at the solstices (when all the would-be druids get in on the act).

That is a great shot. The birds really add that something extra.

Yes, a very nice scene. Soft, warm colours give it a good feeling.

Interesting bokeh. I find it rather distracting although your main subjects are well captured.

Welcome to the Forums, from Australia. I think I can lay claim to doing this for 60 years, my first camera being what would now be called a "toy'' camera that had a dreadful light leak. But once I came to Pentax I never wanted to leave!

Good shot. It does look windy going by the trees. But the egret is sharp and that's what matters.

Well done. With a little spider as a bonus.

Hi Dave
This is a subject of considerable interest to me. As far as I know, the best evidence is that the dingo came some time in the last 10,000 years in another wave of human migration. There are two major points in favour of that: first there is no evidence of any domestication as far back as 40,000 years (and no dingo fossils that old), and a new micro tools tradition also came into Australia in the last 10,000 years, presumably with a new wave of human migration. The best guess as to when in the last 10,000 years it was, that may lie in the origins of the Pama Nyungan language group which seems to have been about 6,000 years ago in the area where Burketown is now. No border control back then! Pama Nyungan languages spread across Australia very rapidly, as did micro tools and (presumably the dingo). The dingo never got to Tasmania, nor did micro tools or the Pama Nyungan languages.
Thanks for commenting.
Peter

Go for it. Yes, it is big and very heavy. It is hard to understand its rating in the reviews here because it is the same lens as the K series which is rated much better. At that price you can surely find a use for it - maybe on a semi-permanent mount for backyard birding?
