Re: PESO: Grey Warbler

I did a bit of testing with the AF this morning, with fairly mixed results. In my frustration I had thought the K10D had been better with that lens so I tried it with both cameras. The K5ii is better but both cameras seemed to get confused at times. I can't quite put my finger on it just yet

PESO: Grey Warbler

A grey warbler came to visit our garden this evening. They're a very small bird, smaller than a sparrow. And they don't really stop moving. You usually hear them instead of seeing them (they have a wonderful song). These aren't amazing but they're the best I managed to get from 22 photos.
