Venetian seagull with the DA55-300. Nearly 100% crop. The last five of the series were all pretty sharp, but this one was the best.

Hawk shots with the 300* f4.5, 1600 ISO, 1/6000.
Heavy crop of course on the second one.

How are you getting on with the one small grip on the KP with those larger Limiteds and the 55-300 lens?

Absolutely no problem. The slim profile is a joy.

hand held?
what is your opinion of KP's ergonomics using a big telephoto lens?

Yes, handheld, f/5.6 1/1500 300mm ISO 800

I'm fine with a big lens on the KP, or most any Pentax SLR/DSLR I've owned, it's easy for me to cradle a large lens.
I've stayed with the largest grip, so far.
