Shot a few pics at the pool hall last night with the K-5 and DA* 50-135/2.8. This one is f 3.5 @ 1/30th, ISO 10,000. I don't normally like to go beyond ISO 6400, but if exposure is good, noise is tolerable up to 12,800.
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=15273914 This is my favorite, even though it has a bit of motion blur. It's at f4.5 1/50th, ISO 12,800. She had just sunk the eight ball to win the game and was walking back toward me and her friends at a bar table. At some point I inadvertently bumped the stop up. F3.5 and a bit more shutter speed would have been better. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=15273933 Of course both of these shots were impossible, since the K-5 has crappy low-light performance. But it doesn't know that, and I'm not telling. I'm going to let it keep thinking it can show in near darkness.
