I also always take the card out and us a reader. One advantage of using a reader is that it quicker to transfer the file if your using a usb 3 reader.

Looks like a silver special edition Pentax to me

Just a couple of shots I took today.

Bud on a tree, taken with K-1 + D-FA 24-70mm and cropped alot



Bike lock in colour (K-1 + D-FA 24-70mm and cropped alot)



or same shot in b/w



Not sure which one I prefer

A couple of weeks ago my niece had her birthday party at Beale Park, I managed to get away from screaming 8 year olds and take some photos.

Take with K-1 and D-FA150-450mm

Pretty much what they say...

I have done a few events now including weddings, birthday parties, festivals and gigs. I try not to use flash, the K3-II is very good at in low and flash can cause harsh shadows. I have and still use the K3II as my second camera for gigs with the Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 and Pentax 55-300mm HD.

My preferred weapon of choice is the K-1 with the D-FA 24-70mm 2.8, gives a lovely fall off when shooting a low light. Although I now have the D-FA 70-200 2.8* to try

I general always shoot in raw with two cards in mirror mode (the image gets saved to both cards), I would suggest getting a couple of extra memory cards.

I also use a BlackRipid double strap, but I normally only use one-half.

Another tip, if your shooting with two cameras, set the file naming (in camera) so they start with different letters, by default the image file name is something like IMGxxxxxx.dng (or PEF), I have my K3II set to K3IIxxxxxx.dng and the K-1 to K1xxxxxx.dng. Helps to prevent accidentally overwriting files if they hit the same number and you can easily I identify which camera the images came from.

Payment received for grip, waiting for someone local to get back to me about the body. Will respond to other PMs shortly.

Just a little bumpage!

Hello Chris,

Just wondered if there was an update on when the 150-450mm stock?

Also, do you have replacement K-1 eye cups?

Thank you,
