Possibly because the AF really isn't *that* bad on Pentax DSLR's, I've been using a friends N***n D300 for a while and never really noticed any major improvement in overall speed in normal ligh.

I got to test out Mark's DA* 16-50mm f/2.8 this afternoon and the consensus was that the fastest cameras were, in order of increasing speed: K10D, K20D and K-5...in bright light. In low light, I found no appreciable difference between the K10D and the K-5 as far as speed or accuracy were concerned; I didn't try out the K20D in low light. I've updated the text in my review to reflect my SDM testing. I find my results curious after reading so much about the K-5's blazing AF speed. This wouldn't keep me from buying the camera as it has many other improvements, and I will note that I have never been a member of the Bash the K10D AF Club. Anybody else have a different experience to mine? —M. \/\/o/\/\ --> http://WorldOfMiserere.com http://EnticingTheLight.com A Quest for Photographic Enlightenment -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. ------------------------------------------------------------ This e-mail and any file transmitted with it are confidential, subject to copyright and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
