Thanks Rick. I think the head is just a bit noisier. It was in shadow and required quite a bit of dodging. The K-1 is less susceptible to noise and may be inherently sharper. DOF would be very shallow here as well and I’m shooting at a tilt angle of 60 degrees or more so the head is at the back of the frame. Not sure where it locked focus as it was all a bit touch and go.
