Some frog shots with K-01.

Hi,
i was not very active here on the Pentax forums other than some reviews on the lens data base but i decided to show some of my frog shots taken with my K-01. I really like that camera for handheld ground level shooting .
I use it mainly with my DFA 100mm Macro WR and DA 35 Ltd.

Here are some shots:

Green Frog with DA 35 Macro Ltd, handheld.

Gray Tree frog with DA 35 Macro Ltd, handheld.

Spring Peeper frog with DFA 100 Macro WR with Pentax TC 1.4X-S, tripod.

Green Frog with DFA 100 Macro WR, handheld.

Hope you like them.

Fantastic shots Leopold. Impressive to say the least.

Hi jva59,
Glad you like them, they are so fun to photograph.

Hi Raider,

All are great...especially like #3!

Great shots! K-01 macro shots are dead easy, especially with focus peaking.

I tried out the k-30 and k-01 yesterday with my sigma 105 macro and to my surprise, I find that k-30 is smoother and more accurate in terms of focus peaking with my macro lens.....maybe k-30 is a better choice after all.....

Hi Raider,
good that you could try both side by side, interesting, maybe Pentax made some improvements ?

Hi pbancr and creampuff,
appreciate your comments, yes Focus peaking is great, i really like it.
Very accurate also even when not using the magnifying loupe

Great shots! I also think the K-01 is great for handheld ground level shooting.
Keep posting great photos like these!

So I never do this, but last night this frog was on my doorstep. Don't own a macro, so just the 40mm Ltd lens.

Except it's not a frog. It's a toad.
