At the distance I shot this feeder pic, you'd have to use an extension tube with the K. I had a K at one time and resorted to a short extension tube. I eventually sold it and bought an A version. I think I only had to kick in about 100 bucks more. The A also gives you auto exposure. The M version of the 400/5.6 falls somewhere in between the A and the K versions in minimum focus. Not enough of an improvement over the K to warrant a switch, plus no autoexposure.
