The 1.4 DA converter plus D FA 150-450 is a great combo. Nearly as sharp as the lens alone. It vignettes a bit on full frame, but that’s rarely a problem, Paul > On Jul 22, 2018, at 8:51 AM, Jack Davis wrote: > > Ummm...I doubt it. I find the 500 > impressive, but might be fun to > compare. >

Re: Usable ISO with K-3

I’m right where you are. With both the K-2 and K-3, 25600 seems to be the practical limit. The K-1 shows a slight advantage, probably due to sensor size. When shooting birds or sports I try to keep it at 6400 or less, but go with what nature gives me. Shooting cars for publication I go for 400

Gawd. Have to proofread. Reading the listing on my phone I see that if one scrolls down past all manner of peripheral information, it says, “packaging may reveal contents.” Unbelievable! Paul > On May 21, 2018, at 7:17 PM, Paul Stenquist <pnstenqu...@mac.com> wrote: > > ReD

Amazon did it again!

Thanks Subash. The bird is on a lower, inner branch of a large white pine, so the limb is devoid of needles. You can see some out of focus needles in the background. > On May 20, 2018, at 10:51 AM, Subash Jeyan <pdml.l...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Sun, 20 May 2018 10:45:
