Beautiful and super sharp! But what's the 1.7 crop about?

Really good Dean. But what lens are you cropping with?

What a nice and detailed image of the moon! But why 1.7 in the title?

With the latest K-3iii firmware, you can apply a x1.7 crop mode in camera, like an external x1.7 TC but without the TC's aperture changes (as far as I understand it).

Thanks JCD - It is the new crop mode from the latest firmware for the K3III - seems to have some pixie dust applied to it.

Thanks mga
I used the 1.7 in camera crop mode on the K3III ie not a TC - it's much better.

Exceptionally good photos of the moon. I haven't often seen similarly good photos with Pentax equipment.
