Helios 40 at f1.5, I always struggled focusing this one on the K-3, but it was a joy to use on the K-1 (if a bit too heavy for a walk about).

Just fantastic! Did you Liveview, or use the viewfinder?

Well Racer, I like wings, but when I go out I am more a "breast kind of guy". You reckon they have any breasts in a Hooters???

They have a chicken breast salad.

Spiratone 400mm f6.3 preset is fun!
It's much brighter on FF, and makes such a lightweight combo with K-1. Its sweet spot is around f11-16, and because of SR the handling of this lens is incredibly easy.
Here are the pics hand held, focusing in VF, with no pp, except a bit leveling and a bit exposure adjusting. My copy has black coating, so I have to figure out exposure on my own.
Next time will bring this long monster out for birding.

I used one of the many great features on the K-1, the articulated screen, and only had to kneel in the dust.

Perfect shot, worth the wear on the knees!

I never knew I wanted an articulated screen till I tried it out for low level shots of forest plants...... And I was so sure it was pointless!

You know Racer......you guys are ganging up on old Rupert, but I'm not gonna bite...even into a chicken salad.

1/160 handheld @450mm ISO 12,800 with some minor noise control in processing. This camera makes everything for me so easy!



I think my Bigma needs a little minor focus adjustment ....gonna work on that today.

Regards!....so you go to Hooters for the chicken salad and wings? That what you tell Mrs Racer?

[kenspo]

Had my first shoot with models using the K-1 today. What a machine!!! Will post pics later

Nope...still not going for it Racer. You tried!

1/50 handheld @ 370 mm...the Bigma is no easier to handle at 50 mm than at 500.....I'm pretty impressed with the new SR!



Regards!

As I sold Sigma 18-35 and 10-20 Lens acquire syndrome back in action.
Pentax F 17-28 Fisheye. Not the sharpest lens, but small and quite good @ K1.
