I thought I'd heard recently that Pentax cameras can now be tethered into Lightroom. Or was that just the new K1 ? Can anyone confirm this for me ?

Hi Stuart,
I use back button focussing ( AF set to C ) with a single point, takes a little getting used to, basically its a case of holding your thumb on the " AF " button on the back of the camera whilst having your trigger finger primed and ready to shoot, track the birds as normal and fire when ready.
Its worked for me on birds in flight and fast jets on the Mach Loop
Thanks for the comment Chris. This is how I had set my camera up. Except I was using multipoint focus. I thought that may have been easier to pinpoint the bird.. But I failed miserably. My eyesight wasnt good enough to pin point the birds at distance coming in. By the time I could my camera lens combination couldnt focus fast enough.. But great learning curve.Hi Stuart,

Ive not used a K1 yet. But having seen the reviews. Its not much of an improvement in performance. So for the exercise of shooting birds I too would say its a no...

These are lovely. I do like terns.
Northumberland is definitely on my list.
Much as I love Pentax DSLRs, they'd not be my cameras of choice were I to regularly shoot anything that moves. I notice the new K1's the same, according to a review I watched on youtube. They just can't seem to crack this problem although one review I read suggested the K3 might be a bit better.
This weakness doesn't bother me because I tend to photograph static scenes and subjects.
Yes I also saw the K1 review and agree we dont seem to have cracked the problem. I was ready to take the k1 plunge but now im thinking no...These are lovely. I do like terns.

They look pretty good to me,What lens did you use ?I am hoping for a trip up that way in August , wasn't going to carry the 300 over this year but might need to
I really dont have a long fast lens. I also had no idea what to expect. So I took the advice from users here who had made the trip. I was primarily using three lenses. Sigma 150-500 for distance and real close up work. Tamron 70-200 for bokeh. Pentax 16-45 for the attacking Terns. It's a fabulous experience which I will certainly be repeating..They look pretty good to me,What lens did you use ?I am hoping for a trip up that way in August , wasn't going to carry the 300 over this year but might need to
