Ready to fly? How about a smooth, open-air ride over Sedona, AZ! The quietness of the desert air is punctuated only by the balloons' burners keeping you aloft. Pilot Dan makes it all happen.

Occasional delay coming out of standby
Posted By snipes213

After singing in the camera’s praises, I have my first issue. Occasionally when I wake the camera up from standby mode, the memory card light will light up and the camera will be inoperable for about 7 seconds. I’ve missed some action shots because of this. I’m at high ISO (6400 or 10000) continuous AF, and high speed burst mode when this happens, but I think it might have to do with recording JPG's to both memory cards. This didn’t happen when I recorded to only one. 2nd card is slower (95MB/s). Anyone had this happen to them, or any ideas how to fix it?

Item Location

Item Description
***Reasonable offers accepted***

This awesome lens has served me well. I mostly used it for sports action—both indoor and outdoor—but it came in very handy for portraits too. Images are tack-sharp and I really like having f/2.8 thought the zoom range.

I have been meticulous about caring for this lens. It is in perfect working order, and you won’t find a single blemish except the lock screw that is used to change the orientation of the tripod collar. It has some scuff marks (pictured) and it’s the only reason the lens isn’t rated “like new”.

People are impressed to see me carry it around at events. When asked about it, I say this lens does things other lenses don’t do. Specifically:
  • Constant aperture f/2.8 – FAST lens, and professional-looking bokeh

  • Weather sealed – you can shoot in the rain or a windy desert

  • Internal autofocusing – no exterior elements move (except zoom ring & manual focusing ring)

  • DC focusing motor – for fast and nearly silent autofocusing (no drive shaft autofocusing for pre-2006 cameras)

  • Quick focus shift – you can manually adjust focus in autofocus mode

  • Internal zooming – the lens doesn’t get longer or shorter

  • Less distortion, chromatic aberration, and flare than other lenses

  • Works with full-frame and APS-C sensors (107-307mm equivalent on crop sensors)

  • Removable tripod collar – can be oriented for horizontal or vertical shooting


Speaking from experience, if you want to up your photography game, invest in decent glass. The choice of lens is often more important than which camera you use. People will take you seriously, too.

This lens ships in its original box with the rear and front lens caps, hood, owner’s manual, tripod mount, carrying bag and strap. I never used the last three of those, so they’re brand new.

Why doesn't Astrotracer use GPS data from a connected phone?

I love the K-3 III so far, but the lack of built-in GPS is a curious and disappointing omission for an otherwise fantastic camera. I'm sure a lot of us would like to geotag our photos, plus I do night sky photography and I want to make use of the Astrotracer function without spending another $200 on an awkward external GPS module. I can still geotag when the camera is connected via Wifi/bluetooth to my phone using the ImageSync app (an easy target for complaints in another thread). GPS does work without an internet connection, since it relies on signals from satellites (although an internet connection can speed it up).

So that made me wonder: If the camera is getting GPS data from my phone, couldn't that be fed into the Astrotracer function? Why can't Astrotracer use that location data?
