Very nice shots! I live in Savannah; it would have been great to see another Pentax shooter out and about! I agree with your comments about the weight of the 50-135 vs the K1 plus DFA*70-200. I actually had to decide between the K5iis + DA*50-135 vs K1 + DFA*70-200 yesterday for a kid’s soccer game. They played in the rain so either would have been fine, but I chose the heavier kit because I figured autofocus would be better. After 2 hours of shooting (in the rain no less) my arm and hand was feeling very fatigued! I’m looking forward to the K3iii and may look into the PLM 55-300 for speed and weight savings.

Thanks for posting and perpetuating Savannah’s reputation for being such a beautiful city!

Your city is drop-dead beautiful. I could spend a lot of days there.

For a city where tourism is important I thought numbers were 50-65% less than normal. Covid is having a significant impact to their tourism economy. Still, everyone (shops/hotels/restaurants and public spaces) has adapted and made the experience very risk free.  Easy to get that hard to come by restaurant reservation (except The Grey). While it's not difficult to be prudent, it's no reason not to get out and enjoy.
