Originally posted by chiane I am so bummed that indoor AF is slow, as I currently have a K-r
I've been to a number of sporting events recently; baseball and others and also airshows. Only lost one possible pic due to any autofocus issue - that it could not keep up with a plane pointing almost directly at me at about 500++mph.
But also as I've stated before... The focusing with the Pentax K-01 works fine with most any lens, but in fact works better and faster mostly with the Pentax labeled lens - and also ones with better than a beginning (or starting) aperature of f4.5 to f5.0 . Go below those starting numbers and one will start to run into some issues.
But even the focus peaking works perfectly in quite direct sunlight and even for action pics. Just wishing that some of the Pentax lens would also offer some type of manual focus lock; such as lock at from 30ft to infinity. Case in point... Using a pancake lens at an airshow in manual focus mode and then being able to lock in the focus to cover everything within a certain distance
