I have had it (purchased new at a discount of a few hundred) for a couple of years and I use it frequently, with satisfaction. Unfortunately it is large and heavy. But it comes with unsurpassed ...

These blurbs are not meant to be parsed so finely, imho. "the development" could easily mean the completed development. "designed" (note the past tense) could mean: (1) having been designed, or which ...

Thank you, mrp. I hope you enjoy your new PLM lens, too! I'm sure that you'll produce wonderful photos with it. I always enjoy seeing what's in your garden.

May I call you Lao Tzu?

Thank you, kinega.

Thank you, Joe. Indeed, the last two were far-away subjects for a 300-mm lens, so they are more "environmental".

AF improvements are about more than speed to acquire AF and tracking. They are about subject recognition as well, and I read serious complaints, for instance, about how eye-AF needs improvement so ...

Thank you, Norman. The bird shots come about from having this lens with me while out hiking, so it really comes down to its portability. You may find it quite easy to use the lens for larger birds ...

Thank you, Tom. I appreciate your comment.

Thank you, Cheezr. I did have to look up the Bufflehead.

Non-birder here. I just take bird photos, handheld, on the odd occasion when an opportunity presents itself and I am suitably equipped, which I currently deem to be my KP and DA 55-300 PLM lens. ...

I have used both vendors (Henry's since the 1970s), and second Doug's recommendation. My recent experience in Henry's stores hasn't been anything to recommend. Henry's had a recent foray into ...

There's Highlight Alert in LV, and separate Highlight Alert for playback. You can set the former in Camera menu 5, and the latter in Playback menu 1. Once set in the menu, they do not require any ...

I wonder whether this is similar to the problem that can occur with the DA 16-85 and 55-300 PLM lenses, in which something inside gets misplaced and causes a lockup. I have had that happen with ...

The released specs have already stated that ES is used in Pixel Shift, and that ES is available in LV. See https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/64692728 . These are carried forward from the KP. ...

I like your explanation. Thanks! The lakes in the hills not far from here have frozen to a thickness of a foot, and people have skated on them. But the ocean doesn't freeze so thick (and only in ...

That's very interesting, Doug. Here is something like that, occurring naturally, at Witty's Lagoon on Vancouver Island. I hypothesized that this was caused by gas from organic material on the sea ...

The "Adobe sRGB color space" is what these monitors cover, is it? ;)
