Great shots! Out of curiosity are these images captured with your K1 in crop mode or are you cropping the full frame file in post?

Not much goes to waste in nature. A juvenile eagle grabbing a bite.

I usually shoot in crop mode, as 450mm does not provide enough reach, at least not for these small passerines.

That's a great shot, riseform! I especially like the composition.

Yesterday, my somewhat unloved K7 with my DA*300, Tamron-F 1.4TC combo.

The grasshopper shot tells a story.

Today, my K7 with my DA*300, Tamron-F 1.4TC combo. After a +8 AF adjustment.

What did you use for the AF adjustment? I've never done my lenses, and the thought has always been back of the mind.
