Both are great images; however prefer the first - the background soft focus woodland makes the shot for me

Were you actually able to get a good image though? I have sometimes found with liveview on K5ii that you get the red-blinkies even when dialling in exposure compensation to try and counter-act it and the actual image has come out ok. I wonder if it is just a limitation of liveview metering?dcweather wrote:
Well I used F11 at 1/100th sec on ISO 100 on my K3 with DA* 300 and Sigma at 500mm and they were exposed about right.
that is what I would expect to be Ok. I set the camera to manual, iso 100 and even with f32 and 1/8000 ( yes I know it is ridiculous)I still got the red blinkies in live view. I was also using the DA*300 . Maybe I should try again with my k5iis and see whether that behaves itselfWell I used F11 at 1/100th sec on ISO 100 on my K3 with DA* 300 and Sigma at 500mm and they were exposed about right.

Reason for the difference in dust removal is that the K-x does a mechanical shake of the sensor - hence the great vibrations, whilst the K-5 uses an ultrasonic system to clear any dust particles. If you're hearing is good, you can just hear a high pitched whine when operating it.

Not bad image - looking at the original! Got some detail still present on the circumference of the moon

When we lived in SW London, these parakeets had started populating the local parks - their sound started getting to you after a while!!

Thanks for the tip from me as well! Having got through a couple of sets over the years 'cos I haven't been careful enough, it can get expensive. So back to the old T-cut that I haven't touched for many years now!
