Following on from the galleries I posted yesterday. The City
Criterium is ridden around a short (approx. 1km) loop around a scenic
section of the Avon River.
#12 - the guy in second place to the right is LOAFING.
I had to cut a lot of photos due to focus problems. I want eye
controlled AF and a bigger viewfinder. I will repeat that I want a
feature where the body can remember the AF point separately for
portrait and landscape orientations. No idea if the K20D or K-7 have
this feature. I'm afraid to look as I'd have to spend money :)
I remember Pentax advertising TRAP FOCUS on their AF film cameras. Set
the focus and the shutter fires when something comes into focus.
I know you can do it manually with the *ist-D and K10D. Auto-focus on a
fixed point, switch focus to manual leaving the lens focused at that
distance and trip the shutter using calibrated Mark 1 eye-ball.
I use that a lot instead of continuous auto-focus, because Pentax CAF is
SLOOOOOOOOoooooow.
Almost as slow as the savings fund I started to buy a K20D is been growing.
I hear the K7 is faster, but it's probably going to be a while before I
get to find out for myself. The way things are going, I'll be lucky to
have enough saved by the time whatever follows the the K7 is available
... if not the one after that.
