Local Butcher Bird, Pentax KP & SMC Pentax FA* 200mm f2.8 ED with HD Pentax DA 1.4x TC;

Excellent close up. Birds can be a real challenge to capture.

Iceland in November

A bucket list destination realized. The KP was a jewel, batteries never were an issue in the cold. DA 15, 50-200, F24-50, and Sigma 50-150 were perfect fit in a LowePro sling. Now if a 70 something can just figure out ON1. LR4.4 seems like an old friend compared to too much info screen misdirection.

He resides along a bike trail, so I'm not likely to see him again until the spring (assuming he survives the winter).

Just the right shutter speed here in this waterfall scene to capture the actual look of falling water. Not the usual cotton-candy look! Indeed, the KP is a wonderful hiking and biking companion!

Wonderful Michigan UP fall scenes! Marvelous colors. I sometimes choose my old K20D for fall colors, as they come out more intense, however colors from the KP do pop, yet somehow look more natural at the same time. Then of course, there's the KP's incredible resolution. I have the DA HD 55-300mm f/4-5.8 WR version, and I like it very much. As is obvious in your shots here, it can deliver very fine results. Even its AF is noticeably faster with the KP. Its MF feel and fine adjustment is also quite good for such a lens.
