Very good for a high ISO generally i don't go much above 300 to avoid noise but this is good.

There are probably others banging on about the K1, so I won't other than to say it handles noise particularly well, in my opinion.

Thanks people, Maj had put this out to get a decent watering in the rain. I sat it on a table outside and used the garden as a backdrop. really pleased with the outcome

Pretty sharp image. This lens (DFA 150-450) must be something like my old Takumar 70-210 in terms of sharpness

Not sure about the Takumar but the DFA 150-450 seems to be sharp all through the zoom range. The images I have rejected for lack of clarity have been poorly focussed or motion blurred. So operator failure not equipment failure.
