Pentax K-1 - SMCP-FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited @ f/2.8 ISO 3200 1/250th

Aw... beautiful, he or a she? Those eyes!

Here's a couple from my daughters b'day party yesterday;

I found shooting in this kinda venue incredibly difficult, this was the only shot I was happy with, and I snapped for 45mins :/
I found AF failed dramatically in most instances, not fast enough, and I couldn't (yet again) get the 540II flash to use its LED to assist with the focusing! How do I tell it to bloody well be utilised on every shot regardless of whether it 'thinks' it's required or not! Couldn't use AF.C either (due to the flash LED assist not working at all in that mode).
Anyway, yeh tough shots, Manual mode was better (meaning moving off Auto ISO), but then due to the venues lighting, panning around and I had to constantly adjust the ISO before taking the shots. Definitely need more practice (with flash) and this kinda scenario.

Yes, his blue eyes are rather attention grabbing.

Great looking food shot... is it dinner time yet? You're making me hungry, if that's the intent, it worked.

... and the real corker is how much pixie dust your old A 50 1.7 has, that is one nice shot, the bike really pops.

Thank you Eric ! I have it since november... Yes I wait for the focus confirmation...

Yeh that first flower shot with the Laowa 105 is amazing. I was looking at this lens the other day actually, was it in a 'top 10 pentax 3rd party lens recommendation' type article recently? What a surprise our beloved Fs999 has one...

Any reviews here of that lens? Must look for into it, tho owning a DFA 100mm 2.8 makes it hard to justify.

Thank you Bruce ! It is a totally manual lens and the most interesting feature is the double aperture one for the softness (T3.2 - T8) and one other for the opening (F2 - F22)... It is heavy but it has a nice smooth bokeh
