by davidrobinson

One of my favourite birds of prey, so colourful and such masters of the sky.

Thanks for the nice comment much appreciated, I often feel I could have done better thanks for the boost. I am finding the K3ll paired with the Pentax 150-450 is producing some amazing images. I thought the Sigma 150-500 was good however despite its length disadvantage the Pentax glass produces far better clarity and crispness.

I have always been slightly underwhelmed / disappointed with the longer Sigma zooms. Recently I have been trying again with a late model 150-500mm but have reached the same conclusion as you.
