Mighty fine shot!
I am still shooting mostly in crop mode and love it. My Bigma is FF but the crop mode is wonderful on the K1.
Gotta say, I am loving the excellent shots posted here!
Even though I turned Pro the minute I got my K1 out of the box, I don't really seem to notice much difference in my shots....same old birds and a same old squirrels. Maybe some sort of training is required to be a Pro?
What I have noticed is that on a wet and dark morning when my old K5 series cameras and the Bigma would hunt like a hound before locking focus...if it ever locked focus.....on my K1 the big ol' Bigma is as quick as a Texas jackrabbit to lock focus and does it with accuracy. For me, after years of Bigma struggling, this is simply unbelievable...but I believe it with every shot I snap!
Dark and dreary but I got the shot!
1/100 handheld ( The new SR is fantastic!) f7.1 ISO 10,000 @ 500mm Bigma 50-500 HSM OS (OS turned off...the SR is better!)
No noise reduction in or out of camera on this one. Shot in crop mode.
Love this camera, it is a genuine winner!
Regards!
