loco77

Wow, thanks so much for the votes! I've never won a DPR Challenge before!

Placed 1^st in the challenge. Sun rays pierce the morning mist in early autumn.

Placed 9^th in the challenge. A bumble bee dines on wingstem in early autumn.

Cool idea. Here's mine...

I find the 77 to be significantly faster to focus on the K-30 than it was on my K-r. I'm actually pretty surprised by the difference. In low light, it's not as fast but still not bad. I really...

Matter of opinion there, Barry. I find the K-30 quite attractive. Then again, if it performed like it does and looked like ET, I probably would still use it.

My eyecup is flush.The battery indicator on my K-r was also a bit wonky. The K-30 one seems to be similar. I just keep shooting until it tells me the battery is depleted. Always bring plenty of...

Very nice shots!I have a K-30 and 18-135 and have yet to venture out in the rain. You have inspired me to do so ... some time!!

Great thank you for that info! I always wondered what lens they were using! :)

Does anyone know what lens was used for this test? Wouldn't the lens used have a pretty big effect on sharpness at any ISO?I love my K-30 and it's nice to see it perform so well in this test.

If you can find one, the old Panagor 90mm/2.8 macro is fantastic. It's a fully manual lens, so you have to use stop down metering, which isn't a big deal. The focus throw is looooooonnnggg so...

Well done, Ron!Actually, I have a K-30 and for the life of me, I haven't been able to figure out focus peaking. I admit I haven't tried it much, but when I have, I have had no success.I think...

You will enjoy either camera. The K-30 is a fantastic camera with better AF than the K-5 but the K-5 has its advantages as well (like optional battery grip). I believe IQ is virtually...

I'm extremely satisfied with mine. It has been a wonderful camera to learn photography with. It does slightly FF in tungsten lighting but in other lighting situations, I experience no problems. ...

I have a K-r I love and, pending reviews, I can't wait to replace it with a K-30. Why?Better High ISO is extremely helpful when shooting in low light or when you need a faster shutter speed (bird...

Placed 59^th in the challenge. My cat Snickers gets a nice vantage point from high in a dogwood tree.

Wow, impressive! I can't wait to see how the K-30 performs! The fact it has this technology has me VERY interested! (among other things)Nice shot!

Very nice work! I love cats! :) My favorite of this series is the one of the kitty climbing the fence. Beautifully done!

It's an amazing lens! I find I reach for it more than any other lens I own. The bokeh is wonderful if you stop down to f2 or so. Looking forward to seeing some of your shots with...
