Another K3 mk.III thread

First impression is that coming from a K-1, it is tiny , even the K-3 feels chunkier. The extra weight vanishes because of the ergonomics of the grip and thumb step on the back plate.
Viewfinder is a tiny bit brighter than the K-1 and just luxurious to look through, it picks up just enhances the light somehow.
Shutter button doesn't have a defined half press but is very sensitive so a caress brings the camera to life, i find I can control the shutter very easily picking off single, double or say a triple burst within 30 mins of acclimatisation.
One of the first lens I mounted was the DA*50-135 and while I won't say transformed, I will say improved enough to be noticeable, with the camera being far more assured in driving the AF. Accuracy is spot on.
Image below is 12.8K ISO, 135 @ f/2.8 around MFD, being bold with 1/50s, focus point on the needle and loads of reds Camera is in stock out of box state other than I've set date, copyright and raw format to dng.

K-3iii & DA*50-135/2.8



Last note, the raw files have a less grainy feel to them compared to the K-3. I use creative cloud version of Light room and Adobe has not as yet released an update to recognise the K-3iii
