Do you have any full size versions? Im interested to see the true IQ on those model shots(which looks really good) but tough to tell with small jpegs.

Took the K-1 to the Cemetery last night for it's baptism under the night sky...(new baby and all)... FA 31

Amazingly, the K-1 lens light was quite useful for seeing the lens aperture on my K lenses. (I had to work fast as I was in a country cemetery by myself.... with only so much courage ....15 minutes worth as it turned out.... a good ceremony is a quick ceremony anyhow...)

So many fine and wonderful K1 shots here

......and I have.....? Yep, squirrels.

How many squirrels do I have? A lot!

All Bigma 50-500 HSM OS It does decent on the K1...better than I expected!

The K1 makes 'em smile!

Up close and personal.

Regards!

Have to admit. These squirrels look great, maybe even better than when captured by the K % II s.

I'm just annoyed that I have to wait until mid June for the next batch to arrive at CRK.

Have you rang around? Dirt Cheap cameras were advertising them.

Yes I rang around but I'm getting a very special deal on the K-1 and FA 31mm Limited combo and i'm saving around $600 on store prices so I suppose the wait to save $600 is worth it. I have the K-3 to use in the meantime.

Thanks!

I'm not going to knock the K5IIs a wonderful camera and the best Pentax I ever owned .....until the K1.

As you have probably read me post, the Bigma is now a fast focusing dream on the K1...was never fast or all that accurate before. It is now!

I just shot this and it is almost dark out there, I could barely see her in the viewfinder. The K1 +Bigma locked on instantly and I got the shot. Even more...with the new SR I got it handheld at 1/80!

Mama Raccoon robbing the squirrel feeder.....she comes and cleans out the leftovers every night.

1/80 handheld f7.1 @ 240mm ISO 12,800

Here's another "not a squirrel" just after sundown.
1/125 handheld f6.3 @ 500mm ISO 1600

How I am loving this camera! More keepers, more opportunities in poor light, more everything!

Regards!

Somehow I got a bunch of dust on my sensor, like maybe 20+ spots. Took the rocket blower, then a lens pen brush, and then the rocket blower again to get it clean.
