If you are going to make photos in extreme weather conditions, for instance, -20 C (-4 F) and steady wind of 20-25 m/s (~50 mph) prepare like this:
1) Make sure your batteries, in-camera and spare ones are recently and fully charged - the Father Frost is really hungry for power. This will provide your camera the longer time to function.
2) Keep spare battery(s) in the internal pocket of your warm clothes. This is having more time of shooting than if it is in the bag.
3) While no shooting, warm your camera body and keep it out of the wind - cover it by hands or scarf or whatever else, especially the part where the battery resides.
4) As the battery power is getting lower until the shutter is stopped working keep the camera switched off and follow the point 3 above. In fact you will have about 5 seconds after power is switched on to make a shoot or two. And you will have several chances like this.
Keep yourself warm! :)

Hi folks.
I'd like to replace my current FA 50 f/1.4 by this Lim and looking for one in very good or better condition.
Color doesn't matter, japanese origin is preferrable but not strict.
I'm ready to pay around $500 plus shipping to Moscow, Russia and your packaging costs. Payment via paypal. I have some positive history on ebay and on this forum for your insurance.
Please send me PM if you feel the time comes to give your lens to good pentaxian hands.
Best wishes from cold Russia
Aleksey

Right you are. And I saw the same FF issue not only with tungsten light but also with focusing through open fire or throught the hot air just above it to the object behind it. Of course it is too expensive to recall all cameras. They decided to issue a new K-01 that costs the same and free of the issue due to contrast AF.

The other way is to switch AF off and aim focus manually to the point where you guess to take a shot and the object shoul be at the moment. This way you concentrate on the better movement tracking. Here is my example from a motocross competition. Distance to the object is about 5 meters. Overall good shots output from the serie was about 60-70%.
