I was invited to an event recently (basically a millinery fashion show) to take some snaps.
My friend wanted to take some shots too, so I gave her the K20D, DA*16-50 & AF-540FGZ. I was shooting with the D700, AF-S 24-70mm & SB-900, but had to intervene a few times when settings got bumped. I had forgotten just how glacially slow the AF is. I have a soft spot for Pentax's lenses, but the bodies have never inspired me.
