Originally posted by BMB63 Nice, lesmore49, I have your same sentiments,clearly and sounds like a nice lens you bought in 84, I love my 300mm, it renders such clear photos, caveat....must use a tripod, which is fine for me, I have a bogen that I have had a long time, so a perfect trio!

Also btw...how does the wifi work on the K-1? naturally it would seem folks would run it off of a phone hotspot?
I've had my K-1 since Feb. 2017 and I must admit, with some embarrassment
that I haven't tried my wifi on the K-1 as of yet. I've found there are many features on the K-1 and quite a number that I haven't yet tried out. I'm not that skilled, in the use of the sophisticated electronic technology that this camera offers.
Your post has encouraged me to do some further exploration into the potential of my K-1.
You mentioned the use of your tripod. I have a couple...both old, but still very serviceable. I have a Leitz Tiltall that I bought back in the film days, when I was doing a fair amount of pictures with my medium format Mamiya TLR. The Leitz is quite a strong tripod and I purchased it as a rental Pentax 6 X 7 I was using, snapped the head stock of my previous lightweight tripod, due to the weight of the 6 X 7 and lens I was using at the time. The Leitz Tiltall took care of that problem.
The other tripod I have is small Minolta Table top, which is a copy of the Leica Table Top tripod. Small, strong (mostly metal) and just the thing for taking pictures in places like cathedrals, churches etc. I'd put a wide angle lens on the camera and set the table top on the floor...than activate the shutter remotely.
I've found with my K-1 that I don't use the tripods as much, as the high ISO performance is so good on this camera. I've been doing a lot of...indoor.. available light photography of our new grandson with the K-1 and my DFA 50mm F 1.4...using F stops around F 2...F 2.5, etc and ISO settings of anywhere from 1600, 3200, 6400, 12,800 and still getting very nice resolution and really not much 'noise' or grain as we used to call it...in the pictures.
I've been spoiled by the K-1's high ISO performance.
