Just uploaded 6 handheld shots to the User Photo Gallery under my login, wgb, all taken with the new HD 55-300mm and K-3. After using a non-HD 55-300 and K-5 for the past two years, I'm very impressed by the improvement in IQ and performance with the new HD version and K-3!

wgb yes they certainly look better than the one I get with the older 55-300...

A few from a batch of walkabout K-3 test shots.
Everything worked great. LiveView with focus peaking was very handy and worked nicely, flash exposures were all spot-on, and high ISO was no drama.

I love the rendering of the 31 Ltd. shots--a nice filmy look!

Great shot, Derek. Pound for pound, the pygmy owl is one of the T Rex's of the bird world.
