This is an experiment sitting quite close to the feeders with the 100mm Macro WR. Not much reach, but f/2.8 max aperture. Screw drive a little noisy. Had to sit very still for the birds to show up. Hit rate was quite low, but when I nailed it I like the sharpness and bokeh compared to farther away with the 55-300 PLM.

Well, I couldn't wait any longer. Amazon had been selling the Mark III for $200 over the $2000 price, Adorama was waiting for more stock, the same as B&H. Then last Tuesday I think it was Amazon had 7 left for the regular price. I gave up the kit from B&H just to get the camera in my hands from Amazon and I couldn't be happier

I love pics of rusty old trucks, very nice.

Been posting mainly in other threads, but the K-3III is playing quite nicely with my DA* 200 and 300. They feel faster, but most likely it's just that AF is more decisive than on my K-1. So far, just been snapping shots of birds right outside the apartment.

Testing highlight-weighted metering, DA*200, no crop, no exposure changes in post. Shadows could stand to be raised just a little IMHO. White-winged Dove.

DA*200, slight crop. House Finch pair scavenging at the hummer feeder.

Male House Sparrow in heavy foliage, heavy crop.

Male House Finch at the hummer feeder, slight crop.

Heh - that is a very funny image - good spotting!

**Eaglerapids** · 05-09-2021, 05:35 PM

Thank you, these guys line in a row along the water's edge and the original image has 7 or 8 birds in it. I didn't notice these guys when I originally took the picture but I saw them when I was checking out the photos on the computer, so this is a pretty big crop. Great way to rest that big ole beak when you're sleeping too

The first two shots are not just nicely focused, but have humour - the first with the contrast of bird size, the second with "dowdy" vs colourful. There is something vaguely vertigo-ish about the last shot with the woodpecker stretched out horizontal looking straight up the tree trunk.

Three very effective images.
