Hi Jim,

I agree with you on the cardinal shot. I've been a little under the  
weather for the last couple of weeks so when I got out today I was  
shooting everything whether it moved or not. I like the camera/lens  
combo. I find I need the Image Stabilization with the long lenses. I  
can't use a tripod.

Thanks for looking and for you kind comments.

I don't know if you bought that new camera yet but I use my Pentax  
screw mount lenses on my two Canon bodies. Works like a champ. And  
the adapter is very inexpensive.

Len
