I almost got home from the ride before it was totally dark, but had to stop and 
shoot the sunset

Got my K-3ii

2024-01-29 Thread Mark Roberts
My almost-new K-3ii arrived today. It is indeed almost indistinguishable from a 
new camera and came in original box with everything except a camera strap. I'm 
looking forward to trying it out tomorrow.

Never had any problems figuring out how to take things apart.

Need to disassemble part of the 6x7.

Can’t see how the shutter release is removed.

I’m thinking the round chrome part probably screws on, but not sure which 
direction the thread goes..

And I can’t find a disassembly document on it.

Thanks Alan.  There aren't a lot of places for both dinner and dancing, they're 
done consecutively these days.

I'm very happy with the lens.  I got it more for photographing musicians, where 
I always want a bit more reach and a bit more speed.  For these I could have 
used my 77, especially since I had the 85 stopped down to 2.2, but it was fun 
to play with it.

Most of my shooting lately has been with the K-3II. It's a lot easier to carry 
on bike rides, and it works well with the 18-270.  It was interesting to 
compare things like focus speed, buffer speed, and focusing with the joystick 
vs the toggles.

A great gallery, Larry. The lens is clearly ideal for that sort of work. 
Takes me back - Ann & I did a lot of that in Rhodesia when we were 
young  - Sat. night Dinner/Dances. Nothing like that around here any more.

I recently picked up a used 85/1.4 and played with it a bit at the local 
milonga (tango dance) last night.  It's a small gallery, I spent more time 
dancing than shooting.

My favorite is probably the first one.
