My K1 has been sitting pretty much idle since February, but my use of it since I got it has almost always been on a tripod using live view. The exception has been when I'm doing the now very rare portrait session. I prefer a bit more mobility than tripods give. I bought quite heavily into the

Good point, Bill. This makes sense. I use live view almost exclusively when shooting cars for editorial, but almost never when shooting birds or other things for my own entertainment. I may never graduate to mirrorless, since I’ve pretty much decided that I will keep using my current kit until

It is obvious that there is a difference in DOF, f2.2 versus f4. In the K-1 picture the focus is not on the eyes. Henk Op di 22 aug 2023 om 15:27 schreef : > https://www.flickr.com/photos/101533246@N02/albums/72177720310649025 > > Yes, they’re both older hardware. But comparisons o
