Second in the series of B&W portraits from Cuba,

Vinales Valley - El Chico

Yes, I did. At Asahi photo in Brentford....Lens did sterling service on my K-1 in Cuba - now I have a FA*80-200 to keep it company.

Slightly different vantage points - I did have the K-1 on crop mode too. I could've taken my K-3 as well as that could've provided a more meaningful comparison but I was fairly overloaded...

Thanks for the compliment Mr Pursey. I might just do that.

The Kingfisher shot, posted in the Gallery until someone pointed out it was shot on a Nikon...I thought I had taken it on my K-1 Da300 & 1.4x combo..hence DA*300 in the lens description....

Even both cameras (K1 & D500) were fitted with 300 mm lenses (1.4x plus crop on K-1 and 1.7x on the D500) in different positions the K-1 came out with cleaner shots than the D500 - it's just that the shot of her preening her wing was taken on the Nikon..

So rules being rules and wishing not to be chastised by Mr Riley I removed the photo

I was salivating at that one too....but a manual focus FA*??

keep them coming....I like no,2

Bout time we started an anti-mod thread...who wants to start

Vastly underrated nation is Der Osterreich....well captured
