Tri-colored heron in breeding plumage, Wakodahatchee Wetlands. This was my first outing with my travel telephoto lens. On trips I take my compact Tokina ATX 840 80-400mm F4.5-5.6 lens for telephoto use, works well even with 1.5X Kenko teleconverter auto focusing even at 400mm. The auto focus, even though it uses the screw drive, seemed faster then my Sigma 150-500mm HSM.

It took me time to adjust, now it feels natural and I feel works better.

With the K-5 and K-3 I use AF-C but disabled the shutter half pressed from focusing. I went in the menu and set focus to operate only with the AF button pressed. Works great with AF-S when you use spot focus on a certain area and re-frame before pressing the shutter. I use F8 to F11 for better depth of field and a high enough ISO to achieve at least 1/1000 sec.

My first trip in the field with K-3 and Sigma 150-500mm F5-6.3 DG APO HSM lens together. Like the change of focus from multi to spot better then the K-5. Also like the ability to set FX button to turn Shake Reduction on and off for catching Birds In Flight.
