Weren't those great fox shots!
Until Weevil comes along to answer you, let me say that though my Bigma 50-500 is FF, almost all I shoot with it is in the Crop Mode. It is just wonderful!
When that cropping frame in the viewfinder lights up in bright red at focus, you can see exactly what you will get. The files are plenty large enough for most purposes and being smaller, so easy to process. It is like having my K5IIs on super steroids!
A few from the afternoon yesterday. All in Crop Mode with the Bigma and all handheld @ 1/100. Don't overlook the new SR...it is fantastic too!
Big Whitewing...Little Spanish Dove
When the big dove landed it startled the little dove and she flipped up her wings.I've been trying to get an underwing shot of a Spanish Dove for ages....yesterday I got lucky!
She settled back down quickly....
This older Whitewing came along shortly....
So did this Jay....looks like he had a rough day??
These are all Crop Mode shots....I love the Crop Mode on the K1, perfect for my kind of shooting
...and the FF is there for other uses like landscapes and portraits. This is the perfect camera!
