Have you gone through the focus calibration with this lens?
No, because most of the shots were in focus.
But still, it's worth it to do. Going through that process with all my
most-used glass improved the sharpness of my subsequent shots.
Have you tried AF-C?
No I haven't. I probably should.
With moving objects I'd never try to use focus lock, myself. I'd just turn off
AF altogether.
They aren't really moving that much, sometimes not at all.
And, of course, the focus is close enough that on the camera screen it looks
fine.
Hoo boy! On the rear screen *everything* looks fine. I've learned to
completely distrust that, except for the histogram. I have preview off
by default and incidentally that also speeds up shooting enormously. The
K20 is more responsive without having to produce previews, and I'm much
less tempted to chimp, so *I'm* more responsive.
The only way I can judge focus from the rear screen is to put on my
glasses and crank the magnification up about as high as it'll go. All
that trouble means I rarely do it unless, eg, I'm doing portraiture and
I need to know if I need a few more shots in a given pose.
