Hey all - I used my K5 to shoot some pics for an event at Spotify HQ in Stockholm, Sweden. A had a few questions during as to why I used Pentax over Canikon during the event, and lots of convinced people once they'd seen the results... :) Many of those who asked had no idea of Pentax's backwards lens compatibility and the amazing dynamic range and noise control of the K5.
I used DA 70 2.4, M 50 1.7, and Sigma 10-20 3.5 for the wide shots. I struggled a couple of times with focussing the M - my mistakes, every time, but when I hit focus, the results were great (e.g. this one)
I've had some great feedback on the shots - some of them may end up being used in marketing / recruitment material for Spotify, which I would be delighted with.
Flickr set here.

Just a pity that the house number just visible wasn't number.... 4!

Thanks!
The title is intentionally ambiguous, and you interpreted exactly as I had hoped (they aren't in fact sleeping tablets - but put me in mind of them).
I'm many miles away from my wife and home, and the sight of tablets beside a picture of our wedding day seemed full of pathos. Especially when I was struggling to sleep.

Spotted these four triathletes sitting atop a bus shelter watching the women compete at the world championships in Stockholm yesterday. Loved the symmetry.
First PP was in colour, but then I thought the colours of the athletes' kit was a bit distracting from the overall harmony.

Nice! There's something I always like about a long corridor. Always seems to put me in mind of 'The Shining'!!

I know it's not one-push, so not quite what you are after.... But for me the quickest way for a few settings is via the settings screen that can be accessed through the "Info" button. SR can be controlled from here.
I just checked, and can toggle SR in two moves that way....

For those wondering what the dog favours sport-wise, I'm not sure it's at the Olympics yet.....

ISO 400, so shouldn't really be here I know ;-)
That said I do find the best way to get action shots like these is to bump up the ISO to get good DOF and shutter speed.
