Hi David -
I just tested my 17-70 @ 50mm indoors in dim light on a K-3. I tried
counting off the seconds "one-thousand-one..." but never got beyond
"thous...." usually stopped a "one..." I can try it on a K-5 tonight,
but mine is very fast. And quiet.

Hi all
I went to pick up above mentioned lens this afternoon. loks and feel
nice on the K-5, however me thinks there is a problem.
I know the AF of Canon and Nikon are quite fast leaving us Pentaxians
hunting and pecking our way through landscapes and soccer photos, BUT,
2-3 seconds to lock on and focus on a static object.?? Me thinks
that's a bit to slow.
The salesman and i played with it for 10-15 minutes. It did get a tad
faster to focus but it was still painfully slow. I know it will not be
as snappy as my Nikon 70-200 f2,9 VR lens, you can barely hear
anything and it locks on faster than Mike Johnson deleting a cat
photo.
So, am i missing something with this SDM system. Is it painfully slow
or should it be as fast or faster to AF on a subject as the screw
focus lenses. Do i need to adjust a menu setting or something.
Another is on order for Saturday
Dave
