Thanks clickclick and Tas for those helpful links.
Mikesbike, the lens and 1.4xTC reports f/8.0 wide open, and I rarely have any autofocus problems.

Cheers,
Terry

K-1 versus KP noise levels

I predominately shoot birds with a K-1 and a K-3 II, using the D FA 150-450 almost always with the DA AF Rear converter 1.4x AW. This means wide open is f/8.0 hence the shutter speeds needed for these subjects often require higher ISO.
I love the IQ and low noise of the K-1 and the reach and frame rate of the K-3 II, but quite often find the noise level of K-3 II more than I would like.
What I would really like is a K-3 II with the low noise/IQ of the K-1 but perhaps that's just wishful thinking.
I note that the KP is reported to have improved noise levels, but have not seen anything that allows a comparison with the K-1. Is there any info/data that allows such a comparison?
I guess what I'm really looking/hoping for is the K-3 II successor to go a long way towards bridging that gap.

Cheers,
Terry
