Obviously very good optics. So is the EXIF corrected to f5.6?
I'd like to see a shot with the 60-250 at 250mm which would be 350mm at f5.6.
Focus seemed as fast as the unaided 60-250 wide open. Hope to experiment more
soon. Wrapping that Mustang job now, so very busy.

I just did a couple of focus “tests” with my two slowest lenses. I won’t post
any results - I was just handholding on random twigs, turkeys, lawn sculptures,
trees, etc. The images would tell you nothing about sharpness. All of the
following using center-point focus, K-3.

Yes this was quiet, which is fine but way to slow, 2-3 seconds to
focus on a static object is pretty bad i have to say.
They have ordered another and i have asked them to order in a Sigma
17-70 f2.8-4 to try just in case. PF gives the Sigma 2 pixels up.

Most reviews of that lens seem to indicate that it focuses pretty fast,
so I think there's probably something wrong with the copy you've got.
I'd go back to the store and exchange it.

I tested the 17-70 on my K-5. It was a *little* slower but I don't think
that I would have noticed if I had not been counting. The one thing I

tried to focus on a new subject, it took 1 to maybe 1.5 seconds to get a
lock.
