Just been staying in Blenheim which seems to be turning into Legoland totally surrounded by grapes...but highlight was Jane's Mum lives under short final of Omaka :-) various learners and warbirds very low doing touch and goes all day. A real hoot. I took the Q7 but only used it for weather timelapses

Had mine a month and very happy. Started carting it everywhere. Had the big grip on first but it seemed to place the back bottom camera corner painfully in base of thumb. Medium grip cured that and the whole shooting match now feels great. Small and dense.

Right, back at the farm...
Uninstalled image sync, restarted phone.
Reinstalled, turn on KP WiFi, start image sync, can see KP, put in password... connecting connecting then "image sync is closing"
Rinse, repeat. Updated KP fw.
Worked fine on this phone with the K-1.
Meanwhile had first session with wired remote, plug and play :-)

WiFis always on with ph, data off, ordered a corded remote :D
I will keep working on it after tomorrow, the biggest photographic day of the year :)
Slightly freaking out now trying to get up to speed with the KP and the F*300 4.5
fine tuning AF has been a bit of a trial
using dot tune with correct setup gave solid dot from -1 to +10...
field testing indicates -5 !
this is last year with the now gone K-1
It's an interesting trajectory but as they are drifting the chap retains his foot
I'll have to stand further back this year if I want to get the Marshall in the shot :)

Hi guys
Have any of you got the KP connected to image sync? I've turned on Wi-Fi the correct name comes up on the app I put in the correct password never gets connected still using original firmware but should that matter?

I won't keep you all in suspenders any longer...
The KP is a keeper. Brilliant AF, excellent speed, nice size.
Now the lens sort out continues...the DA21ltd and Sigma 8-16 are back in play, The F 28/2.8 might be gone after it gets compared with the 21.
The FA 50/1.4 vs the FA43 might see both staying but what luck the DA40 ltd ?
As for macro, with the added apparent reach of apsc, maybe the FA 100/2.8 beercan is for trademe with the Tamron 85/2.4 staying on... the FA50/2.8 is presumably in the never sell class.
The FA77 still needs to go the Kennedys in Oz for AF repair...wash my mouth out with soap but what about the DA70 ltd ? :)
As for longer, the F*300/4.5 now seems to be a focus speed monster with wide open looking excellent and bokeh Olé .
I was going to give the Cemetery Circuit a miss this year but now licking lips at prospects with the 300 :)
