Initial Results of K3II

mhsp · 12-26-2015, 12:54 PM - **2 Likes**

I like my initial results of my K3II and the DA 16-85mm and here are some random shots over the last three weeks. I do like my camera and lens and will be working with the HD 20-40mm the end of next week.

Awesome results. Congratulations.

Thank you John, these are processed some except the last one. I am very excited about my Pentax camera and lens. I was a Canon guy since 2004 and used until three weeks ago my 20D, 40D and 7D (by the way sold all of them). I never with any of those cameras experienced the consistency of photo after photo being very good to excellent right out of the camera as I have with the K3II and my DA 16-85mm. I used in my film camera days a Ricoh 35mm with a Zeiss f/1.4 50mm lens and that was a real sweet heart of a camera. I truly am looking forward to work also with the HD 20-40mm that will be here the end of next week. I am so glad I made the change. Also, as a plus the Pentax K3II is so much easier to operate getting around the menu and functions than any of the Canon EOS cameras I owned and also much less noise issues which the 7D drove me crazy with especially in low light.

Nice shots, man. Great combo

Here is one I took a week ago to give some variety to the photos posted.

It isn't just the camera of course - you have a photogenic eye and some great locations! Well done.
I'm really liking that B/W and color scene but can't decide which I prefer.

Really? I would have picked that as HDR - quite well done, though.

Very nice images! Were those in-camera processed, or done on the computer? I also have a K3ii and am amazed at how much can be done to an image right in the camera.

commongrounder, all but the sixth photo was done in computer for processing and all my photos are done in RAW. Looking forward to really getting to know and work with my K3II and believe that I can do all I like to do with my hobby using the two lenses I mentioned above. Anyway, appreciate the conversation and comments and I hope all you folks have a Happy New Year.
