This is set a nice set, which your friends no doubt will like. I would
think the K-1 in combination with the FA 80-200/2.8 shine out with such
difficult light circumstances.
You took only a few pics with the new 28-105/3.5-5.6 at the longest end.
What is your general experience with this lens. Can you recommend it as
kit lens?

Some friends of mine run a weekly blues jam. Tonight was the last one
this year, and they did it as a benefit to raise money for a friend
(the fellow in the first six frames of the set). Most of these were
shot with the K-1 and the FA 80-200/2.8, a few with the 15-30 and the
28-105, and one with my bigma. I think I lost fewer shots to missed
focus than with earlier bodies, but I'm still not completely happy
with the focusing on the K-1.
Lighting was with led spots, with a lot of blue in the back.
If anyone has hints for how to increase the autofocus hit rate when
photographing musicians moving around on stage, I'm interested.
On the plus side, the K-1 doesn't seem to obsess on the microphone as
badly as previous bodies did either.
I don't know if I got any knockout photos, but I trimmed down the
facebook set to 41 competent frames for flickr, I'm pretty happy with
the set:

I haven't yet applied any noise reduction via the slider in lightroom.
Comments and such are appreciated as always.
