Thanks Jack. I think some of  yours are just as sharp if not sharper. This 
one was with the DA 1.4X converter and the 150-450, and with the K-1 in crop 
mode. Off the tripod of course, 1/250th and f8, ISO 1250.

The nene, also known as the Hawaiian goose, is a species of goose endemic

Molokai, and Hawaiʻi.

The Hawaiian name nēnē comes from its soft call.

Thanks Jack. I think some of  yours are just as sharp if not sharper. This one 
was with the DA 1.4X converter and the 150-450, and with the K-1 in crop mode. 
Off the tripod of course, 1/250th and f8, ISO 1250.

That was about the only thing I didn't like about the

I find the M8 slightly awkward, but the typ 262 is no problem. I don't really 
know why. However, whenever I see them next to the M3 it's obvious that a 
return to those dimensions is the right decision.

The M10 does look interesting, certainly would buy one

And the Leica R8 body that I wanted so badly in 1998 and simply 
couldn't afford (it was over $2600, never mind the lenses!) was sold 
to me in minty mint mint condition, in the original presentation box, 
with the winder, for $199 two years ago. The Leicaflex SL body, which 
cost over $800 in 1969 when I first saw one and fell in love with it 
(a Nikon F Photomic FTn with 50mm f/1.4 lens was $415 then, to give 
you a sense of the scale of its price) was tossed in with two of the 
Leica R lenses I bought in 2013 at no charge—nobody offered the seller 
a dime for it. My beloved Olympus E-1, a professional grade body in 
2004 that cost over $2200, currently sells for about $80.

I was really hoping that as Leica was able to fit a digital M into the 
same footprint as a M4 that the next Pentax digital would fit into the 
footprint of an LX or maybe a Super Program.  I was disappointed, but 
then life is full of disappointments.

Only 6.3! The 170-500 is nominally 6.7 but unusable below 9.5 (too soft) at

Thanks Alan.  Don't read too much into the comparison.  The shots with
the Bigma were on a different day, in better light, on a 24MP APS body
rather than what would be 18MP. I just did a quick check, with the
bigma/K-3 a blackbird was about 1700 pixels long, with the 55-300 it was
about 800 pixels long, so on tight crops I get about 4 times the number
of pixels, which works out about right ((500/300) * (24/18))^2.

However, the bigma is a damn fine lens for the money, I picked mine up
used, along with the 50/2.8 macro for $1000. The downsides to it are
pretty harsh bokeh, it's not weather sealed and it's only f/6.3 at the
long end.

As I write this, there's a blackbird nearby singing.

OK, question answered. The Bigma beats the 170-500 hand down. You can
easily give Paul & Jack a run for their money.


Thanks Alan.  Don't read too much into the comparison.  The shots with 
the Bigma were on a different day, in better light, on a 24MP APS body 
rather than what would be 18MP. I just did a quick check, with the 
bigma/K-3 a blackbird was about 1700 pixels long, with the 55-300 it was 
about 800 pixels long, so on tight crops I get about 4 times the number 
of pixels, which works out about right ((500/300) * (24/18))^2.


However, the bigma is a damn fine lens for the money, I picked mine up 
used, along with the 50/2.8 macro for $1000. The downsides to it are 
pretty harsh bokeh, it's not weather sealed and it's only f/6.3 at the 
long end.


As I write this, there's a blackbird nearby singing.

The bigma on the K-3 did a lot better with tight crops on small birds
than did the 55-300. No hummingbirds, but quite a few blackbirds in the

Re: PESO and GESO Corvallis tire swing and birds

[Alan C]

Nice shots, Larry. Takes me back (the swing, that is). I would be interested 
to see how the Bigma & HD 55-300 compare. I find crops with the HD 55-300 
@300 are just as good as uncropped shots with a Sigma 170-500 @ 500.

Also a small gallery of some birds at the Willamette River a couple
blocks from where I'm staying. Maybe not up there with Paul and Jack,
but still possibly my best shots so far of hummingbirds.  Shot with the
K-1 and Nicole's 55-300 (because it is WR and mine isn't I talked her
into swapping for my trip to the northwet).

I think it has stopped raining, so I'm going to give it a try with the
bigma, maybe on the K-3 ii because I'll be cropping them to a
faretheewell anyways and it has a tighter pixel pitch.

afford (it was over $2600, never mind the lenses!) was sold to me in minty

about $80.

Scroll down here for a comparison of the M10 and M4. Future Ms, including any

Once the industry shot itself in the foot by allowing folks to cease printing,
it had to find maintenance costs from somewhere.

A third rail system was tried in the past but the natives would keep cuddling up

It will be interesting to see how the digital Ms hold their value, particularly 
the M10 forward now that the depth of the body has reverted to the original 
size. 

My feeling is that when the thin version of the typ 262 comes out, assuming I 
can afford it, it should be the last camera I buy, with retirement in prospect. 
Providing of course that the hardware etc. is good enough to outlive me.

The photos I took last weekend were with the Olympus E-3. A fantastic camera 
and lenses, but 8 mpix seems so niggardly these days. How spoilt we are. But I 
do prefer 2:3 to 3:4.
