Low light K-1 Performance
Lens: 31mm 1.8 Limited Camera: Pentax K-1 Photo Location: Coventry Transport Museum ISO: 800 Shutter Speed: 1/30s Aperture: F4 
Posted By: Peter Nutkins, 05-02-2016, 11:05 PM

Low light performance of the K-1 at this exhibit at the great Transport Museum in Coventry (free too!). I under exposed by 3 stops because the light was so dim.

Lovely for ISO 800.

Wonder what ISO 1600 and 3200 might look like on the K1?

Thanks, I was really taken a back by how easily it locked onto focus and came out well defined...it was a very dark room!
