I keep the main processed file at the pixel size it was taken at (will vary depending if an cropping has been applied) and use that for any printing. For general web use resize it to circa 750-1000 pixels for its longest side depending on destination. For screen backdrops it certainly makes sense matching the image size to the screen size.

The Sigma 50-500mm isn't as good as the Pentax 150-450mm that he already owns anyway (aprt from it's close focus ability)
Sorry Mike, your suggestion seemed to be off brand therefore irrelevant. I'm sure he's picked up on Canikon lenses in a Google search but I doubt those would fit a K3 without quite a bit of butchery!JAK wrote:

Who's got £8,000 to buy one (or even up to £11,000 depending on the make?)Who makes a 500/600 f4 for Pentax?
But this one's close and affordable: https://www.srsmicrosystems.co.uk/sigma-50-500mm-f4-5-6-3-dg-os-hsm-lens-pentax-...

One of these will let you do that. (You'd have to set the exposure on the camera, the control device will fire the shutter at set intervals.)Ideally, I would like to set the sequence of ten exposures of say two minutes each and then go away for a cup of tea.
A K-3 or K-1 will also let you set that up too, the KS-2 is more of a consumer model rather than have those pro features which might confuse the uninitiated!
An uprated Image Sync program is available on CD (Image Transmitter 2) https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1095284-REG/pentax_38553_image_transmitte...
Not cheap however and don't believe it is compatible with a KS-2!
If the KS-2 offered everything the top end models do, why would anyone buy them?
