I possibly have a duff one. Put the two side by side and the difference is immediately apparent. It stays in its case most of the time because there's not much point humping it around. I only bought it because everyone said how good they were. And, yes, I have tried various tweaks to correct the focus. It gives better results on the K3(ii) than the K1 but I learned it was designed for a crop sensor after I'd bought it. Some pictures get posted on here that have been taken with the 1.4x converter. It's not a good idea with this DA*300! I learned that after spending an afternoon shooting a pair of courting grebes. I was really disappointed and ditched the whole lot.

I'm not surprised that it sold. It beats the pants off a modern DA*300.

Just bought myself a faulty K-1. It looks to have the mode dial failure so I'm going to take it apart and hopefully sort it out.

Very nice work David - I particularly like your take on long-exposure water shots, putting the effect to use in composing a compelling overall image (as opposed to using it for its own sake).

What a lovely set, with some amazing crisp scenes. The 28/3.5 shots are superb.

A lovely autumnal feel from those trees and leaves.

I'm usually not keen on milky water, but I'll make an exception for No. 10 - the colour and almost abstract nature of the picture more than compensate.
