Hi all!
I used to have the Pentax K30 and then the K III (Mark 1) which I was very pleased with, since at that time I was shooting mainly landscapes, but I switched to Nikon D7200 when I started to shoot wildlife, especially birds. Now I'm considering going back to Pentax, but I'm not up to date with the current performance of the cameras. How would a K1 II or a K3 III compare to a D7200 or a D500 (I'm also thinking about an upgrade of the Nikon system) in terms of focus speed and accuracy? I would pair the camera with a Pentax 150-450 lens or a Sigma/Tamron 150-600.
Thanks!

Although there were just a few submission to this challenge, a few photos stood out and I could pick an obvious winner.
The verdict:
Winner - HAMA. His photo reflects perfectly the assignment. The background is pretty clean and following a speeding sports car at 1/50s is indeed challenging.
Runner-up - StephenHampshire. Beautiful subject, although he could have chosen a slower shutter speed for a more powerful panning effect.
Third - Vaskebjorn's duck. Sharp subject, clean background and a different approach.
A few words about the other submissions:
- jchorst - although the panning is technically correct, the background is very busy and the subject doesn't stand out as it should. Maybe a different point of view would have been a better choice.
- RGlasel - I would have preferred that one of the players be the subject and not the ball.
- BATMON - unfortunately not the best composition, with one wheel getting out of the frame and other in.
- nobody - not panning in my opinion. Camera stands still, the train and people are moving. A different interpretation of speed.
- sealonsf - good intention, but again a busy background and the taxi not so sharp.
- SpecialK - funny!
- noelcmn - good panning, again the busy background but the cyclist stands out. One of the candidates for the podium, but the probable massive crop affects the image resolution.
Congrats to all!
