I am not a birder and hopefully one chimes in, but I am thinking you could've shot at about 1/1600 and halved your ISO.

For me, the KP + pentax 15mm, 35mm macro and 70mm is the sexiest kit out there, from any manufacturer.  And darn hard to beat too from a versatility standpoint too.

Interesting topic. If we just look at the KP by itself, I think it was an awesome camera.  I went to Hawaii with it a couple years ago and I was more than happy with it.  I have also done birds in ...

I had one that failed on me, although to be honest I do not know how old it was since I bought it second hand. At first it stopped intermittently, and I could get it to "wake up" for a few minutes ...

Well, if you plan to go with the K-1, then I would opt for the 77mm, being that the 50-135mm is an APS lens. In fact i would opt for the 77mm either way. I had the 50-135mm and i found it ...

So, did you get the lens? Any feedback to share? Thanks :)

How is your experience using the D500 and manual focus lenses? Does the rear LCD do a good job with this? I have a Zeiss 100mm that i would love to keep once i get my D500.  But it was no fun on my ...

Thanks :) Reading about hand-on user experience is super valuable...especially with the lack of brick and mortar shops where you can actually play around with it.  In the "old days" I would just ...

According to the OP, he experienced lag with other lenses as well while magnified: "There are also issues with any lens I tried using magnification. Magnified you see some serious lag, as ...

Sheesh, i was really excited to use my 100mm Zeiss on a Z6. But now i am definitely not sure. Granted, this is a first generation camera.  But it seems like there are enough rough edges to really ...

Most folks seem to imply that the AF is better than the D810, while granted is not the latest and greatest, is better than what 90% of folks need. I think people have to remember marketing's ...

Yup, that's the one.

I wish i was rich, i would snatch this up in a second. But i cannot imagine this being cheaper than a new RX1. I am guessing 25%-50% more expensive. Think Otus with a full frame camera attached...

For me it was the Sigma 17-35mm f1.8.  It is a shame because it is a very useful focal length for me (on a DX camera).  But for the life of me i could not get consistent focus accuracy with it, ...

Good post... As much as I like Thom Hogan, he is really misleading when it comes to this topic and his "Thom’s Recommended Lenses for FX Users." If you like lens X, you will like it even more on a ...

Awesome shots! To answer your question, i think the 20mm could supplement the 14-24mm...but i do not think replace it. 14mm, as you know, is dramatically wider, and the depth is much more exaggerated.

For those that have transitioned fully from Full Frame to the RX10 IV, how do you like it? Not those that use the RX10 as a supplement, but use the RX10 as their primary camera? I have the RX100 V ...

Success of the Z mount is absolutely vital for them in my opinion.  Maybe not in the next 5 years, but definitely 10+ years.  It is obvious to me that that have put a lot of resources into the Z ...

I am very interested in a Z version of a 70-300mm.  For now I will adapt Nikon's newest 70-300mm AF-P FX...but at some point a native lens would be more than welcome from me.

Yes, no internal focusing motor or lens stabilization really keeps the size of the lenses small.
