Of course had you kept the A9 you wouldn't need the bleep to tell you when you had lock on because it just does it

How did you find the 150-450mm on the K3 III?

Weather has been terrible last few days, was rain and snow this morning but I wanted to give the lens a bit of a try as I only have 14 days to return it. No Finlay picture as he had to be put to sleep about 6 months ago so like many other testing lenses I have included the usual duck photo. Will post on a seperate thread when I get some decent shots.

All handheld.

Purchase of the 150-450 agreed with @whatsthisbutton - thank you.
Glad you got one, I just couldn't bring myself to sell mine. Great lens.

Can't keep up with you Mike, does this mean you sold the 150-450 and got seller's remorse?
Still got the 150-400mm .... I was interested in trying the 500mm f/4.5 though as I have read very good things about it but could never find one at a reasonable price.

This one was priced very reasonably, would have been silly to pass on it.

One thing I will add though, I am starting to feel the weight, there was a time when I could easily lift a 3/4kg lens body combo and not think anything of it .... not any more.

Sorely tempted, will have a serious think. Hopefully someone else will offer you one first
