Sports Playoffs

Playoffs · 09:11 PM

I normally use my SMC-Pentax 135/2.5 for these night games, but wanted to see how this Cosina would do wide open. Had to sacrifice a little ISO and shutter speed, but not bad for MF from the bleachers.

Pass Play

Missed It By That Much

Another stop of shutter speed would have been nicer, but you have a good eye.

Yeah 1/200 is quite slow for sport, but it looks good on that first one. I changed battery once and speed changed without me knowing, but ended up with a shot I like (hope you don't mind me posting this here):

Like yours it shows some action with the blur. When I saw you used f4 I though "wow, a well lit field", but then I saw the shutter speed!

Yeah, the lighting is pretty good, and normally I was using the SMC-K 135/2.5, but I really wanted to give this lens a try since I don't use it much. With a manual lens the K20 goes into center-weighted metering, so that helps keep the lighting better. BTW, our team also won last night in the semi-finals, so it's state championships next weekend!
