Distances
To add to John's answer, if your focus is slightly off, then stopping down will improve the sharpness, but you must be careful, since when you stop down, the exposure time will increase, maybe to a point where movement blur will show up, defeating the purpose of stopping down.

From K7 to K5ii- usage, controls exact same?
.... So all I'd need to do is set a few settings and off I'd go? Cheers, Pa. maybe check for front or back focus and adjust accordingly

Boxing - Pentax 16-45mm F4 or Sigma 24-70mm F2.8
If your ringside the 16-45 would be my choice Mate, I did one a couple of year back and used the kit lens, it was the widest I had. Take some wet wipes with you to, I had blood and snot on my lens a couple of times.

Boxing - Pentax 16-45mm F4 or Sigma 24-70mm F2.8
As mentioned above, those conditions are a nightmare if the lights not up to it. If you really do need F2.8 then you'll be dealing with a narrow depth of field, and that's when the focus needs to be right on the money, and with moving objects, potentially in low light. All the best, and good ti...

Boxing - Pentax 16-45mm F4 or Sigma 24-70mm F2.8
Shooting wise I used tav, with a shutter speed of around the 1/500th mark to freeze the action. Have a chat with the venue security to, having them onside was a big bonus, they kept an eye on my back while I was busy shooting, it was well worth the round of drinks at the end!

365 (or 52) project
For last three years, every day I've taken shots from 2 positions out the front and 2 positions out the back of my house. Eventually I aim to compile them into a time lapse. .

New PC for Digital Photo stuff - Advice please :)
We stopped buying desktops around 8 years ago. We found laptops with a second monitor attached more useful and crucially more cost effective. A one year old laptop has more resale able value than a desktop. Also they are cheaper to run with smaller power supplies. We also found laptops breakdown ...

I'm not up to date with windows machines now as I went mac a whilst back finding win 8 just way to frustrating to use, which is something else to think about if you have not used win 8 yet. +1 for a move to macs.

I build my own PC's, it's pretty easy. Go with 8 (or more) GB of RAM. Any modern multicore processor (AMD or Intel). A decent but not necessarily top end graphics card (top-end only needed for games). A fanless one will keep the noise down. Plenty of hard-drive space is essential, my current machine...

Lenny - since you have nothing to lose (you're looking at replacing your rig), why not download a trial copy of IOLO SYSTEM MECHANIC? Current version is 12.5, and it does a myriad of things, such as: Remove redundant files and programs; deep-clean your ram memory; defrag / re-align programs on ...
