Well, I’d love to get a K-1. What stops me is that my arthritis is in my neck, and is aggravated by things like cameras and camera bags. The weight difference is 740g for the K-5 v. 1010g for the K-1, and my 35mm lenses are considerably heavier than my APS-C too. Rick > On Nov 8, 2020, at

Thanks Rick. I just shoot. The camera does the rest, When the K-1 is on the tripod I turn shake reduction off. I leave it on of course when hand holding. BTW, in regard to K-3 and K-1 differences, I should point out that the K-1 viewfinder is much brighter and somewhat larger. It’s an impot

Paul, was the sparrow really shot at an ISO of 10,000? If so, the detail is remarkable (though there is a bit of noise). Nice shot overall, too! Rick > On Nov 7, 2020, at 11:33 AM, Paul Stenquist wrote: > > I wanted to try handholding my birding rig with the K-3 and no battery grip. > I

yes, for the species photographed here. we also have passage migrants, who stop en route for destinations elsewhere, such as european roller and lesser kestrel. i haven't photographed any because they hardly stay at the grasslands for a few days and i can only plan trips in the weekends. On Sun,
