Some birds from the weekend with the 'ole *istD
5

So my K5IIs went for repair and due to coronavirus is currently stranded at the (closed) repair shop. So I dug out my *ist D. And yes, it's considerably slower (especially shooting RAW) but one thing for sure it still takes darn good pictures. And it's so small !!

A couple in the garden with the Sigma 135-400 APO DG;

Wood pigeon

Blue tit

And a couple from the local park whilst on my allowed exercise, taken with the A*300/4;

Greylag goose

Mallard

PP in Silkypix.

Thanks for looking.

There you go. One does not need the latest model to take a great shot.

I never had the *istD but these look good.

I started with the K100D

Thanks all for looking. Yes, the *istD is still a great camera. They don't come up on eBay very often either . . .
