Yes, I am. But tbh I didn't try because it definitely doesn't work on the (my) K-3ii (other users have reported the issue, too), so I assumed the same to be true for the K-1 (shame on me). That would be good news indeed if coupled with the K-1 one could use the Tamron 70-200 in LV mode although I don't like LV too much; but still, one option more is always a good thing.
Originally posted by wanderer2 It isn't clear to me what your focusing settings and technique are for a landscape shot, for example
That depends on the lighting conditions. "Normally" I use PDAF AF-S (Single Sel) f7.1-11 and if possible/necessary a beanbag or tripod.
Originally posted by gaweidert LV+ES or TAv mode. Both are easy to set up.
Yes and no, I think. For many occasions I find LV+ES a little annoying and it surely is not for the quick shot. TAv might force you to bump up ISO (which I wouldn't like too much even with the K-1) or use a wider aperture, which might not be desirable, either. It has been suggested elsewhere IIRC to use PS and then just the first frame for which ES will have been used. Well, mabe, but... And all this in order to avoid the abysmal 1/x range. So, it's still a compromise, and imo a huge one considering the 2k spent on a hobby. But since there are so many happy users I have not given up hope, yet.
