Thanks to everyone for the feedback. It's nice to rediscover a bit of photographic mojo. New equipment does that, I suppose.
At the risk of sounding like Pierre de Fermat, last week I took a wonderful photo of my daughter and her best friend running towards me, using the K5ii and FA200mm lens, but I can't show it here. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the AF tracked them. And the sensor in this camera is made of pixie dust. I'm also slowly coming to grips with Adobe Camera Raw; I'm getting far better results now than I was with Photoshop alone. Cheers, Dave > On Mar 20, 2021, at 5:55 AM, Daniel J.
