Hi Chris,

Certainly the FOV is possible for Pentax 165mm.  One can always 
crop the image into a smaller FOV.  What really puzzled me was not 
the FOV, but the resolution.  The resolution of your image is much 
higher than what I would expect from a 165mm lens.

It's a great shot anyway.

Cheers,
Wei-Hao
