Title: Early storm
Post by: MattBurt on September 12, 2020, 12:22:53 am: More snow than usual for summer! A nice change from hot and smokey but kind of weird!

Or a drone, perhaps? ;)

This is my longest for this system, 300mm (a vintage manual one). But one day I may spring for the Pentax 150-450 for a little more reach in these situations.

I settled this by buying the Sony RX10 iv. It's as heavy as one of those telephotos and gives me a back up for the system. So that's my 300+ telephoto, often even 85+ in which case the weight savings are even bigger.
