Kracow- Auschwitz- Oskar Schindler
Superb shots Barrie. It reminds me when I went back in 2006. The *istDS was my camera of choice. The place is so powerful.

Oh my ! That sort of pic brings back memories. Well caught and must be preserved for future use.

Nice shot - it just brought back memories for us :D Perhaps we will dig out the similar ones of our young man :D

K3ingfisher and other birds
OK, OK - first time out with a K3 and you come back with a (superb) photo of a kingfisher !! Some of us had to wait donkey's years just to see one ! As ever, brilliant photos, Alan - well done. I also look forward to you reporting on your K3 experiences. Regards Nigel

K3ingfisher and other birds
Thanks for taking time to leave feedback. I do like the K3, but focus tracking aside, I've always thought my K5 is fabulous. I haven't shared the concerns that the likes of David (Storm) have had. But I was looking for a second body, and didn't know whether to go for a K5IIs or a K30. The K3 h...

K3ingfisher and other birds
I think these particular shots are the best indication yet of what the K-3 is capable of and if they are anything to go by I don't think we will be disappointed. As we've said many times before, the photographer is more important than the camera, but put a quality tool in the hands of someone like ...

K3ingfisher and other birds
Very good set of images I'm trying to work out what the Swan is stood on at first I thought it was coming in to land. The nuthatch is a little too tight a crop for my liking but apart from that the focus, exposure and compositions are all spot on. I can't wait to give my K3 a try out for wildlife ...

Blue Tit K3 v K5
Now I know the plane of focus is a touch different between the two shots but damn, that K3 one is crisp.

First K3 sports shots
How good are they? They certainly look quite good. How many OOF ones were there, and how many as good as this were there in the entire set? That would give an indication of how good the AF was. For instance, if I took 100 photos with the K-5, and enough light to shoot at 1/1000s like these,...

100% crop as requested, I tested the lens when I got home and found it needed -5 focus adjustment

First K3 sports shots
Please don't take this personally, I just feel these shots show exactly why Pentax is not suitable for fast close contact sport, constantly missing the key point of action which is what I found when I shot football with the k-5 and have not shot football since with Pentax cameras. Same again had a l...

Some very good shots here. I haven't taken any sports photos since the days of manual focus and would be interested in hearing which of the AF modes you guys used. Al

First K3 sports shots
These shots should be seen for what they are - first attempts to capture action with a brand new camera model with which no one has any significant experience of yet. Sports is not my thing, but I feel qualified to comment on my own response to them, which is that they come over as generally compete...

First K3 sports shots
To be honest when I give honest feedback which takes me time to compose and review I get fed up when people take the hump and are rude and your comment about me not being qualified to review sports photography was wrong and just plain rude. I held back the first time I replied but having thought abo...

Time to give that aspect of it a rest now Nigel, let's get back to the images?

Gig photos - giving ISO3200 a try
Wow, thanks for posting these shots. Brings back some great memories from back in the day. Surely Gordon must be drawing his pension by now. To get these shots with a manual lens is no mean achievement. Anyone who hasn't tried it should get out there and have a go...

Can anyone identify this moth? Taken a week or so back on the patio door.

Bittern K3 AF check
Not for critique ... lol A bittern lifted from reeds to the right this morning. By the time I got onto it, it was just about to go behind reeds in front of me. Its not properly in focus, but I had the new AF Hold feature switched on and set to Medium. Seems to me that its tried to hold onto the b...

Bittern K3 AF check
Would the K5 have started to hunt back and forth? I've not heard of the 'hold' feature - tell us more:) How is it controlled, and will it allow tracking within a certain range? (Presumably thats where the 'medium' comes into it). If it can do it better, thats good news ! Now, Alan, I must mentio...
