On the K1, the bottleneck is writing the SD card once the buffer is full. Once the buffer is full, the wait time prevents to continue shooting. Usually, subjects aren't in interesting posture all the time. The trick is to figure a time frame where the subject is interesting to shoot. The workaround is to lower the average frame rate, while keeping the highest instant frame rate during the time frame of interest, for instance interrupting the burst every 3 or 4 shots, RAW. That works very well for me, this way I can even shoot sports with a K1 and without being bothered by a full buffer. I did not find JPEG would help much, once the buffer is full, whether it is full of RAWs or full of JPEG, the amount of data to clear is the same. Important is not to waste frames on boring composition (wasting a lot of frames is what people do with the D500).

Buy or borrow and FA-77 for the K-1 if you want some awesome bokeh, and it is a perfect combination.
As for ergonomics, buttons, dials, and knobs, I think it's just a matter of becoming familiar with the layout.

New acquisition. Unfortunately I can't give a Jean-style story about how it was priced for 10€ in a thrift shop, but I'm still happy with it. ;)

I'm pretty much limited to tripod work now, and I often can't get very close to what I'm shooting, so the 200/4 usually ends up on the camera :)
Please forgive the digital photo :)

NEWSFLASH: Legion of the mind-controlled spotted heading towards Manchester, carrying pitchforks and blazing torches and chanting, "KILL THE HERETIC!"
Fortunately it will take them several months to reach you, because every time they walk past a tree they have to stop to take an HDR shot of sunstars through the leaves.

I started with Pentax and every opportunity I'm reminded by every industry expert that it was the biggest mistake I could have made. Especially since forever.
Staying with Pentax just proves I can't learn from my mistakes. To try to make the most of the hopeless situation (self-inflicted, mind you), I clean and lubricate the O-rings on the mounts of my lenses with my tears.

Those are good KX shots... my first roll ~6 years ago gave me one of the better pics I've ever taken:

Use a cheap tripod, one that is all wiggly. This will give the SR something to counteract.
Just kidding! |
