a beauty in her own way;)

K1 D-FA 70-200 crop K1 D-FA 70-200, original. Didn't see the osprey coming 'til it bassed me and I just had time to shoot without checking correct exposure This one was actually an accident, ...

Yes, I know the symptom. Traded my K3 in for the K1 but kept the K5 IIs. Haven't used it much since then, though. While on vacation this summer, I found myself rediscovering some of my old glass, ...

Nice shots of three beauties, especially the Spitfire.

Oh my, and me who thought that this thread was just about pictures that weren't perfect in the aesthet's view but could be salvaged because the RAW files carry so much information... Well, we live ...

I can't say I'm a birding specialist, just trying my hand occasionnaly. But I find RAW the better choice for recovering image details. As the pics show, FF or a large enough sensor help as well. I ...

I know the Lake District, dark and moody belongs there;)

Excellent shot, you've got the atmosphere right for this place.

I got a second hand 30mm 3 weeks ago. At first I used it on the K1, no issues with AF so far. On my K5 IIs I noticed AF problems and had to fine-tune the AF to +4 in order to get an accurate focus.

maybe it's just a question of the handsize? But there is a difference of  the heft of the two lenses

I guess the engineers must have thought about similar lines, all the new zooms have the focus ring at the rear end. And yes, the 70-200 makes me hold the lens a bit more towards the front end then ...

Had the same problems with deliveries as well:( The handling is really different to the 60-250. I would have preferred the focus ring on the 70-200 would have been near the front lens instead of ...

Received my lens yesterday afternoon. boy oh boy, what a monster that lens is in reality;)

Hi Steve, thank you for the info. After some quick calculations, and considering the low £-€ exchange rate, I just couldn't help myself but find that I really need this lens. So It's ordered:) . ...

received my k-1on Thursday, but haven't had much time playing with it. The first shots were impressive in resolution, though. Hope you received yours as well best wishes

Very nice shot, it even got some possible slapstick action in it - if the upper bird would step aside;)

... that my K-1 hasn't arrived yet ;)

Maybe they just wanted an excuse to have a closer look at your K-1. Nice story take care

and a bigger lawnmower as well... while I think of it, some extra rolls of duct tape;)

Maybe, as the sign on the wall could say, he's a Trump supporter and so dislikes anything anyway;)
