Hi Kevriano,

Yes, I'd say they were a tad further away, poor light and constantly moving which wouldn't have helped. I'm tempted to use my Sigma 100 - 300 F4 on my next attempt as it focuses closer than the 150 - 450 and crop as required.

Thanks Kevriano, I found as previously mentioned the distance from subject to camera was an issue plus the light in my case was poor, your shots are superb and I'd be very happy if I could replicate those.

Perhaps I need to refine my technique.

This was shot recently, not in great light, K1 - 150 - 450 @ 450mm, 1/400 sec, F7.1, ISO 400 with Gimbal on a monopod

Difficult to hand hold and stay sharp unless the light is extra good, can be done on a Gimbal with a monopod or better still on a Tripod + Gimbal probably.

If you'd like to try before you buy, happy to meet and try mine out if you wish ?

Thanks Blythman, I'll give that a try next time

Hi Mike,

I get on exceptionally well with mine, even with things that move

Fast jets and BIF no problem, although keeper rate is probably down v Canikon, but how many images " nearly the same " a fraction of a second later do you want ?

I did struggle with Dragonflies on the wing the other week with the 150 - 450 but the light wasn't good and its a heavy piece of kit, even had it on a gimbal head mounted on a monopod and keeping the DF in the viewfinder was still tricky.

Double chuffed then 😂 lol

Not sure Peter, its a while since I've used it, I think so but try it and see !!

Likewise, I failed first time then went back to it and cracked it, only used the app once since thou

Hi Stuart,

You need to download the image sync app to your device, then switch the K1 WIFI on and the camera basically creates it's own hotspot which the sync app will find, pair the 2 and away you go.

I've done mine, but it took some patience, suggest having the manual to hand when you do as the pairing code is in the book.
