Thanks for the reply. I will do some experimentation at the meet tomorrow. I was thinking about getting another lens but I just saw the great deal that Adorama had on the K3 with grip and card that I could not resist. So, next weekend I will have the benefit of much better camera for the task. In reflection I do think you are correct about technique over technology and I will focus more on that tomorrow. Thanks

Thanks for the reply, Dan. I consider myself still a fairly amateur shooter so still have much to learn. My fastest lens at present are the FA 50mm and the DFA 100 MACRO. I did shoot some with the 50mm over the weekend but it was wider that I preferred and most of my shots with that lens came out blurry (in hindsight I think this is more my technique than anything else). I'm seriously thinking of stepping up to either the K5 IIs given the great deal at BH or the K3 coupled with a faster lens primarily for shooting wresting and some basketball. Would you please clarify what is meant by "Your settings match 4.9LV"? I am not familiar this terminology.

Here's a shot I took of my son at his HS wrestling match earlier this year. My equipment really isn't ideal for sports photography but I did the best with what I had. Any suggestions for good lens for wrestling shoots? I'm usually positioned pretty close on the corner of the mat.
1/125 sec at f/2.8, ISO 3200, 100mm (smc PENTAX-D FA MACRO 100MM F2.8 WR)
K30
