New K1-II - what a camera! · 04:39 PM

Amazed by what this K1-II can do. First photo is hand held at 1/13th second and ISO 1600. Second shot is cropped and taken at 1/100th second and ISO 12800. I am just blown away by the capability of this camera. So looking forward to learning more and growing with it.

Oh darn - the second one looks much better at full size. Here is another one hand held at 1/25th, ISO 3200

Nice shots well done! I like the first one!

Nice shots. Congrat on the new acquisition.

Nice photos, your cats look very surprised though.

Nice shots and nice camera. When your camera can take good cat photos, you are in good shape...

I had that reaction to the original K-1 -and I'm still growing with it

I like both shots, even if the first one is even better. It looks like the cat is -also- impressed by the K1-II. Which lens did you use to impress your cat that much? The DFA 150-450?

Haha - The big boy (Sasquatch) in the first photo always has that expression - he is impossibly adorable even if a little dim.

The kit lens. Looking forward to trying my old 50 1.4 and my 100 macro. Really want a wide angle prime - any suggestions?

I don't think there is a good full frame wide angle prime currently. The DFA 15-30 is the closest of what you want, though.
