Sports Trying out my new K-7

Trying out my new K-7 · 03:25 PM

I was out trying my new k-7 today. First sunny day in the 70's since about October.

Nice and sharp captures. Some noticeable purple fringing even at the reduced resolution, though. What lens were you using?

A great start to a hectic season TFS

cheers

Thanks for your comments. I was using an old Tamron 70-300mm that day. I wish I could afford some new lenses, but will have to save up a while after buying the camera.

makes sense... that lens is known for its high PF

Well congrats on the new camera! I am soooo close to pulling the trigger on one

You got some great shots! Do you have a daughter on one of the teams? I was a head coach for a High School fastpitch team for 4 years. I just coach football now though.

Thanks for your comments, everyone. No. I don't have a daughter on the team. This is the college team from where I work. Luckily, I just live about 100 yards from campus so it's easy to walk over.

What a great opportunity to get some action shots! When I was in college, the softball fields were right outside my apt. one year and the balls bounced off our roof all the time! (-: Sounds like you're close enough, but not too close! LOL!
