The K-3 has the newish auto focus system with more focus points, (though there's some question if it's really that much better than the K-5II), but still in the same basic pattern, improved metering, 8FPS vs 7 for the K-5, dual card slots, slightly higher viewfinder magnification, and slightly

Congrats on this venture - great way to reach out and help kids. The website is nicely done and there are some really outstanding photos. Can't help with the lens - I'm guessing that even a 400mm would be a bit too short in some situations. Keep up the great work! On 7/21/2015 1:25 PM, Norman

I don't have experience with it (few do thus far) but the new Pentax DA 150-450mm AW seems well suited to your needs. The AW seems like a major plus given that you'll be working close to the spray. On Tue, Jul 21, 2015 at 1:25 PM, Norman Baugher nbaug...@baugherphotography.com wrote: Hey guys,

Hi Norm, First, that's a great cause! As for the longer glass, - it gets quite expensive very quickly. There is a used SMCP-FA* 250-600 on BH for $5k. The new Pentax DA 150-450mm AW might be ideal, but it is $2.2k+. You can consider Pentax primes, but they are might be less versatile for

If you're sticking with Pentax there's only one. The K-3 or it's younger brother he K-3II which are probably functionally identical for your purposes. The K-3 can probably be had for a fairly sizable discount now and a somewhat bigger one in three to six months, based on passed history. On
