K-1 + FA77 is a damned hard combination to beat at what it is good at.

So Lisa and I made our traditional hiking trip to the White Mountains in New Hampshire over Thanksgiving. I didn't get a huge number of keepers but it was a nice trip anyway. We hiked up Mt Tom (4050 ft)
Heh, in the Beigh Arya we have a Mt. Tam.
and found quite a lot of the birds were well habituated to human presence; they were obviously looking for food and had learned humans were only too happy to provide it in many cases. Here's a shot of a chickadee taken with the K-1 and the 77/1.8 Ltd, ISO 400, 1/500 @ f/2.8 http://www.robertstech.com/temp/7e005336crop2.jpg
Impressive on many axis. On my monitor it looks a bit dark,(2/3-1 stop under?) is my monitor dialed up too bright? or is that an artistic choice of yours to show that it was a dark and dreary day.
That's the full image, no cropping, downsized to 800px height. And now here's a crop at 100% magnification. No sharpening. http://www.robertstech.com/temp/7e005336crop.jpg
That's even more impressive up close. Excellent work.
