Pat,
I tried something like this once about 20 years ago with an ME Super +
winder, a 135/2.8 (not Pentax), tripod and a great long air release. The
objective was to photograph siskins (Carduelis pinus, about the size of a
fat sparrow) on a feeder whilst I was hiding in the house.

Pat,
Like Chris, I've used a long air release some 20 years ago on some
Baltimore Orioles at the feeder. I don't remember if I used a 50mm or
135mm, but you can get really close and fill the frame with the feed
tray bird. I've still got the shots around somewhere...

Oh, you are quite advenurous. Aren't you afraid of them - ehm -
marking your 15mm as birds usually do?
Good luck with it. You might try to build a soundproof box for it.
Something like what is used on movie locations for stills and can
completely silence even the LX's motordrive blazing at full 5

Hi Fra,

Yes, this is a danger, but I do intend to use a protective housing for the
camera with a glass panel to protect the lens and some sort of heating
system to help preserve batteries.
? I think I missed something here. I don't own a 15mm, though I'm
always happy to try out equipment other people want to send me. :)

I plan an attempt at bird table photography during the holidays using one of
my Super A bodies / Motor Drive A and a 15mm f3.5 A lens.
The plan is to bait a pre-focused area for song birds and then fire the
tripod mounted Super A via a newly acquired infrared trigger from the
comfort of the
