With the K5 it was an overly colour sensitive AF sensor that was only accurate in one type of light and neutral coloured subjects. The AF on my K5 was bad enough that I pretty much stopped using AF lenses in the studio since I couldn't depend on the AF to be accurate. It would lock, but it would lock somewhere in space either in front of or behind the subject.

I suspect in Larry's case, it was just too dim to AF.

I was asked to photograph at a Milonga (tango social dance) last night and discovered the Achilles heel of the K3-III autofocus.  Dim, reddish (warm, aka low color temperature) light. It wouldn't lock focus for anything.

Wasn't this a widely discussed problem with the K-5?
