Both lenses are on my next lens list

Love it

And another. 1/15th sec ISO 100, f5.6, handheld with the Sigma 35mm 1.4 (Art). Not quite crisp, but 1/15th handheld is pushing it a bit with my technique. I love the colour rendering of this lens when I get the exposure right, and the shapness corner to corner (not that this is good example of that)

K-3
DA* 60-250 + HD DA 1.4 TC

It was -14 today and a cold -14 so it was cold, but that keeps the birds busy eating enough to keep warm

The Starling... back again today... there was a blackish purple one with them we assume was a male...

A Downy Woodpecker, not a great shot, but today's shot, they all can't be show stoppers..

Mr. and Mrs Purple Finch...

A couple of active chickadee images...

The Star of the day was the nuthatch...

Tomorrow the feeding starts bright and early... be there or be square.

Nice color rendition, Like it a lot. Good job.

@Normhead, great shots! I like the 2 best but they are all great. Congrats!

I agree ISO 100 is too low,,,Don't be scared of going up to at least ISO 1600 so you can stopdown the lens for a landscape shot like this and use a faster shutter speed so you dont get as mush shake (unless you use a tripod of course

).

Yes absolutely. What I failed to say in my original post was that I had just taken the camera off the tripod. It was turning chilly and my bladder was demanding I rush back to the hotel post haste. Contextually this shot was a miracle at 1/15th cross legged

Attended a friends art show at Easy Street Records in West Seattle. I love how vibrant her work is.

some Californian architecture taken this week:

These were both taken with DA Limited lenses -- makes for a nice, small travel kit.

Considering that, i am surprised how sharp the shot really was!

at this size, the DA* 60-250mm doesn't appear to be affected too negatively with the HD 1.4x converter.
Can you share with us your camera setting for this series?
Generally, I recommend students take another f-stop (or two depending on the multiplier) when using a TC.

Just got my K-3 and started testing with it. The first 15 minutes or so I was mainly just fiddling with the body because it's all foreign to me. Went looking to find some good BIF but all I got were these little pooping machines.
