A very good set Simon. I'm still having trouble spotting a set of tyres.
Is this a change in direction or you just enjoying your camera?

Shot back up or just plain even higher?
A 21mm Ltd is GBP288.75 here and thats top price and I see it at GBP509 there. Obviously market forces at play and of course an extra years warranty.

I would have to agree 100% with you on this David. The K3 was never going to outdo a K5 for high ISO noise levels.
Smeggy beware!

I found the AF on the k-3 to be an outstanding performer in very low light. I tried it yesterday evening with the DA*16-50 on subjects that were lit by a nite lite situated about 5 meters away, and it "nailed" it everytime.
Unfortunately, it doesn't spin the SDM motor in the lens any faster...
I agree that the low light autofocus is very very good.I found the AF on the k-3 to be an outstanding performer in very low light. I tried it yesterday evening with the DA*16-50 on subjects that were lit by a nite lite situated about 5 meters away, and it "nailed" it everytime.

There is a niche market here that Ricoh are missing out on. A WR K3 and WR lens could be the perfect stills security camera. Mount it high up on a wall and it will get brilliant images of the crims as they approach your property, even when its raining.

Great work Alan.
There's a lot of people here watching carefully, trying to decide whether to buy a K3 or not. No pressure on you then mate!

All great images Jules. I'm sure the K3 will produce the goods with landscape and the right glass.

Just shot a few with the K3 using the FF Ltd's.
All JPEG from camera.
and a 100% crop from above
I didn't really set anything up other than focus point and ISO.
The shutter is super quiet and the focus is very positive but is no where near as fast as my D700 or D7000 but then I never expected it to be.
For most peoples requirements this camera is a winner.
I have a big shoot on Saturday including a Sunday Times fashion shoot and intend to push the K3 hard. Let's see what it can produce.

I don't know that I haven't tried it yet !
I'll be covering a couple of rugby matches this weekend, I'll make my own mind up then, don't try and put words into my mouth
Will you be using two systems side by side as I did or just accepting it as fast or good enough for you?
Either way, if your happy with it, that's all that matters.
