Originally posted by totsmuyco With your sample shots Rupert, I wouldn't like to hold a K-1. I might take it home and put a hole in my pocket. Great shots.
Thanks!
The best thing, for me, is the fun of shooting the K1. Just now I saw a dove in the low light of a very cloudy morning and though I have hundreds of dove shots, you can't resist having one more.
Unlike ever before the K1, the Bigma locked focus the instant I half pressed and I got a shot that is usable. No, it is not for pixel peepers...but I don't shoot for them anyhow. No one in the real world has ever asked me if I could blow up the image 400% for their viewing inspection!
I am not the best at processing, but did some light noise reduction on it......works for me!
I can only imagine a faster lens, stopped down to f8. and a little more speed....with better processing.
1/80 handheld (that new SR is amazing too!) f7.1 @500mm through my office windows ISO 10000 K1+ Bigma 50-500
That fun factor is important to me....it's like fishing ...you don't always get the prize catch, but if you get something you feel better about it.
Regards!
BTW- For those that were worried about the little blind orphan squirrel lost in the storm....his mama found him and got him home safely. There was a large search party that found him and now they have a big keg of beer and are celebrating his safe return!
