Amen to that!
I find it difficult to use the multiple autofocus points in any
handheld shooting.
Pentax doesn't focus fast enough to select th 26th point vs the 27th.
When I try letting the camera pick the AF point, it goes all over the scene.
And not necessarily where I want.

Thanks Bob. 300mm actually. If I had had the 35mm on the camera I would have

Generally, for hand held shooting of static or slowly moving subjects
I'll use the center point and recompose.
When the camera is on a tripod, especially if I'm shooting in the

An addition to my on-going Long Lake 2013 gallery, this is a shot of one of
Ann's favorite critters. Last featured performing hazardous duty as a escort to
a loon, today we see the intrepid drone at rest on the dock . . .

Boris, I have found this to be a general phenomenon; as things age, they start

Thanks, Brian. Excellent stuff. There certainly are many talented
photographers in the group. Bob's "looking for a mate" immediately caught my

Fader filters don't work too well below 70mm, especially as you get to
the higher levels of filtering. An X tends to appear in the image due
to the design of the filter.

One of local Pentaxians had 17-70/4. The SDM failed on him and being a
handy person he took it apart. I won't repeat what he told me so as
not to insult anyone. It was a very strong arguments against the SDM
lenses, at least the cheaper ones.

have a fader ND filter at 67mm dia, so the Pentax 17-70 would fit it,
but leery of the SDM from what i have read previously. I don
t need IS as its in the K-5 body so that would be a wasted Sigma
feature. Decisions decisions.

Bob and I met up with Rick who's over on a fleeting visit. We had a
pleasant couple of hours in Greenwich where my son Pete also joined
us. Here's a snap of Rick when I found him by the Cutty Sark:
