Nice ones. I got a wild hair early this morning and heading out to Radnor Lake and walked the trail. It was rather cold and windy which weather wise would have been normal if it hasn't been in the mid to upper 70's last week. Not much wildlife but like you plenty of chickadees flying and

I was able to get closer to the birds today. It turned cold again, and I got only chickadees, but they seem to be getting accustomed to my presence. All with the K-1, D FA 15-450 and DA 1.4X converter. Camera in crop mode. f8, 1/320th, ISO 2500, tripod.

How to adapt Sigma 8-16mm for Pentax K1

I have the Sigma 8-16mm and it gave me nice pictures on the K5. Sharper than the Sigma 10-12 EX that I had for a while. Using the 8-16mm on K1 in FF mode, is okay at 16mm, but zooming out, brings in shadowing from the sun shade. The sun shade is fixed to the lens and I am thinking of cutting
