I put a long lens on the K5ii this morning to try out the AF. Of course, no
birds bothered to show up so I had to make do. This is straight from the
camera, no adjustments except for cropping a bit off the top.

This was shot a few years ago at one of our national parks.
This was shot handheld on the K1 with the A* 600/5.6
F/8, 1/2000 Second at ISO 6400.
In my excitement, I forgot to change the SR from the A*85mm lens that I
had been previously using, so it isn't ideal shake reduction.
