Two great landscape shots. I am beginning to identify your work without seeing the name attached. Did you refresh an already-owned K-1 or go for an entirely new one? I've been thinking about it, but now that I have the Z and two modern lenses (90mm & 55mm) I have not been working as much with the K-1, but probably pick up a new one within 12 months or so.

Two images well worth some time contemplating.

Yes it does seem that way! How are you liking the files? Any noticeable differences?

Nothing obvious yet. Not sure how LR6 deals with the files yet either, other than this quick session. I shot these as DNGs thinking the embedded profile would help LR sort things but I haven't really taken a close look or done comparisons.

Thanks Ivan. I bought a new K-1 ii, not just because it's the new model, but my original K-1 has some quirks that I think are from the time I dropped and broke it when it was new. I got it repaired then but a couple of nagging issues made me want to get a new body. I'll probably unload the old one as-is to hopefully recoup some of my costs and make it someone else's project.

If I had a Z I'd probably hold off but the K-1 has been a good income generator with portraits and real estate so I feel like it's a niche I need to keep filled in my lineup. The old one was ok but I had to edit out a persistent sensor spot on many shots and I was getting tired of it.

I'd like to get out for some Milky Way shots soon to really push it and see how that high ISO performance looks. I'm also shooting a big bike race next month and hope the AF and general responsiveness is a little better than the original K-1 which struggled in some bike race situations.

Varied Thrush. I didn't realize it was iso 6400 until processing. The second is iso 2500. The higher shutter speed on the first shot, even at high iso, is sharper.

I like the subtle, natural color of these two bird shots.

One of the first outdoor shots made with my K1-II. This done at ISO 3200 using my D FA 28-105mm lens at F9 on a dreary day. Very pleased with the results at this ISO. No post processing, Just a direct jpeg. I used SilkyPix Developer Studio Pro 8.
