I don't think the longstanding commentary re’autofocus h as ever been about this type of very good shot.

By and large if the specific fast moving subject is very small in the viewfinder image such as a small bird flying relatively fast through the field of view then “sharp captures” were difficult.

Taking a picture of a pendulous large bird such as a passing Heron was never a problem; similarly sport and action photography was never too much of a problem.

Tracking was also a serious issue;
(a). The Af could not keep up
(b). The buffer filled very quickly in continuous high speed shooting or burst shooting

The K3.3 has “by and large” overcome these limitations and matches the recognised benchmarks in capturing and tracking very fast action subjects such as the Nikon D500.

In my own humble experience doing numerous commissions on major sporting events I had consistent and excellent results with the K3 and K3.2.

The AF problem became vivid /acute in wildlife shooting, particularly when photographing small fast moving subjects whether it be small animals or the real “Chesnut” BIF

Small to medium fast flying species were ,and have always been a major challenge

The focus distance on small birds is necessarily “short” to maximise the subject size but that means the “relative speed”of the subject ( bird) passing the though the field of view is vey rapid.

The K3.3 offers so much more with the uprated focus and tracking, on such subjects.

Put a super lens in the right hands and this is what you get - the street images are particularly nice with a real journalist feel to them.

Very diverse and interesting set showing off the qualities of a lovely lens in the hands of a skilled operator.

Lovely set David; really portrays the ambience of that beautiful canal environment ; I have no preferences - it is a complete set of magical superbly captured evocative images

Lovely bit of photo-art here David with the subdued light really enriching the colour of the flowers

It seems now that all the problems I outlined in my first post when opening this topic are now resolved and I have no issues

Thanks to Rick and John for your efforts; excellent work it’s nice to be back to normal

Yes for sure the level of pop-up adverts are now a stretch too far ,

Since my first post above;

1. I have tried to reload the bookmark numerous times without success

2. I have tried logging in using the auto login ( key chain password etc) but have to cut and paste the stored password a couple of times even then.

3. Still can’t upload images when logged in.

Help PU admin or Mr Reilly !!!!!!

i regularly find that my password is not recognised and even on resetting it sometimes still won’t work.

It appears also “not to remember it” more often than not despite my checking the “remember me” box”

Yesterday I reset my password several times on the PU and updated my keychain and the website and it still did not result in a successful login .

Eventually after repeated attempts it worked but this morning I had to go through the same trial and error process - there seems to be no pattern to this problem and no repeatable solution

However it soon became ineffective again and it took several further attempts cutting and pasting from my phone setting before it unexplainably worked.

Last night and this morning I also failed repeatedly to upload a small jpeg and still can’t do that

I have not had any permanent progress even when deleting and reloading the PU bookmark on my iPhone desk top

Anyone else experiencing this type of issue where the app often does not automatically recognise your stored password even if you copy it from your stored password list and paste it in
