The good news is that my battery grip arrived today, so the K-3 now feels right in my hand. The bad news is that I still haven't had time to shoot. Didn't get out of the office until after sundown. But with fading light I stepped out on the deck and shot some perennial grasses in my garden. Had to crank the ISO up to 1600 to get f 6.3 @ 1/20th with the K-3 and the DA* 50-135 at 70 mm. The light was pretty much gone. But I was very impressed with the detail in the grasses. The feather grass in the foreground, which became the focal point, is finely detailed. And the noise is minimal. Really looking forward to getting out tomorrow and looking for some big birdies or other worthy subjects. Unfortunately, I have to go buy a car first. My lease expires this week, and I can't be without transportation. Busy times.
