- Original Message - From: Tom C Subject: RE: Peso: Bird on a Tree Lazuli Bunting. You got him. I need to sell a firstborn for a 600mm lens. Thanks. I updated the page. If the 600 is long enough, the A5.6 is great. If you need extra length a lot, and use a teleconverter most of the time, I think the FA 600/4 is the better choice. It is MUCH bigger though. I think the tripod socket placement is really wonky on the A600/5.6. William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
