That's excellent.

That's pretty much exactly what I was thinking of when I said to crop in 
tighter on the bird.

Re: thoughts on the K-1 vs K-3

[Mark Roberts]

For my trek through Yorkshire on the Pennine Way next month I'm going
to be taking the K-1 (over the K-5) mainly because of the GPS tagging.
I never thought I'd use it but it's amazing how wrong I was. It's
absolutely brilliant when traveling. Hell, even close to home it's
easy to forget where I took a particular shot if there's no
identifying landmark in the shot.

Subject: Re: thoughts on the K-1 vs K-3

For me there is also always the dilemma going for a walk: do I take the
K-1 or the K-5. Weight/size versus quality.
The K-5 with the DA 21/3.2 limited is so conveniently small and fits
well under a coat in cold weather, though I see people thinking  I am
growing a belly.
Once I decide to take the K-1 the question comes up whether the ND grad
filter should go along, but that implies also the tripod, so I'll take a
backpack with more lenses...

Never do I put APS lenses on the K-1 following Northrup's advice on YT
as there is no gain in pixels.
With both cameras I am frequently struggling on focusing so that is not
an issue for me.

In challenging light, or challenging focus conditions, the K-1 does

light and for that matter even some pretty lousy light, walking around 
taking pictures, I can think of very few cases (if any) where I'd look at

16-50 or the K-1 and the 28-75.


To be sure, there are lots of times that to get a particular shot, I 
really need the larger sensor in the K-1, those are usually night time 
wide angle shots.  Also, when I'm photographing musicians and don't want 
to get great shots of microphones with blurry musicians in the background, 
the K-1 far outshines the K-3. But I've recently been surprised to realize 
how often, for basic shooting, it really doesn't matter to me which camera 
I grab.


I will note that I haven't gotten to the point of grabbing the K-1 and APS 
only lenses like the 18-250.

thanks Larry. it's already cropped more than 50 per cent, and detail and
noise present problems if i crop it further. i really struggle with it
