Thanks for that link. I'll be updating the firmware in my camera later
tonight. Maybe I'll get lucky and that will improve things a bit.
I was kidding about taping a flashlight to my camera, but I am
definitely considering engineering my own LED focus-assist light.

There is an interesting article about Pentax K-5 low-light focusing,
especially section 4.1 which touches exactly this issue of AF lamp
activation: http://www.falklumo.com/lumolabs/articles/k5focus
Should I just duct tape an LED flashlight to my camera? :)
But then how do you turn it off when taking the picture? :)
Seriously, I've done something similar last winter when I've
photographed the Christmas tree: I've put the camera o a tripod (the
exposure was about 20 seconds long), focus activates only on the AF-L
button, and used a strong LED flashlight for auto-focusing.
Hope it helps,
Ciprian.
