Results with K5IIs + DA300+ Teleconverter
Previously I have tried the K5IIS + Sigma150-500 for birds, with varied results. So I've had a go with the above set up. I tried and failed with a Teleplus 1.5X SHQ, it would just not lock on focus. I see the same issue reported in another thread, with a tripod as a solution. I had more success w...

1st set of pics for C&C (lurcher race)
Nice images, I like #1 as it really shows the movement of the dog because of its coat being swept back, and the look on the face of #4 is classic :)

@Alan Oh it's all in praise of the water tanker Alan, it's celebrating it's 30th birthday! @Tim There are times when I wish I wasn't so damn stubborn but Public Transport is the most respectful way I can treat my Lakes! There are more than enough cars there, without me adding to the statistics....

A first attempt at Motorcross
On the way back from the Minsmere RSPB Reserve, for our weekly walk, I stopped in, for half an hour at the Blythburgh MX practice track. The light was fading and I hadn't been there before, so had no idea where to stand. However I did mange to capture a few that I liked. Now, I will freely ad...

Lion (Re-worked)
Looking back over some old images I found this and tried re-process in LR. Why did I sell that Sigma 100-300mm F4 lens ????

Love the framing in the last one; I think if the foreground players were sharp (and the background guy out of focus) it wouldn't have worked so well.

Yes I think the focus focussed on the guy in the background after the player jumped as he was in focus before the jump :-(

#2 for me Gary, pity about the focus on the last one or it would have got the vote :) How did you find the DA*50-135? when I tried it under floodlights it seemed slow to focus but then it may have been my AF.C settings were not set right. My Sigma 70-200 APO performed much better both under fl...

I use centre spot and af-s then constantly repress the shutter button to readjust focus, i find that method better than af)c. never had any issues with the focus on the 50-135 as i shoot alot under difficult conditions i guess i just got used to it now.

Number 2 is great Gary. Sorry, but for me I'd have to put the last shot in the category of "the one that got away" because of the focus. Brian - regardless of the relative AF performance of the 50-135 compared to the Sigma 70-200 I would still generally prefer the latter because the shallower ...

I see #3 as a picture of the player in the striped shirt, the foreground puts him in context, but is beautifully out of focus. Even if it was an accident :wink:

I think the last shot shows how quick focus is in the k*5 mkii. The jumping player was in focus pre jump.

#2 is by far the best in terms of freezing action. You pressed the shutter button just right that time. superb shot!! None the less there's something missing focus wise on most of these and frankly I'd like to see to see what Gary could do with a brand that has equipment properly capable of actio...

The creative aspect is right up here, very good action, very well framed, very good viewpoints. Focus is clearly off in the last but I'm wondering whether some of the softness in others could be down to a not quite fast enough shutter speed. In the header shot for instance the boots are sharp a...

No disrespect to Gary. Who's work I have admired with envy, Since I became a member here. But for me. I'm still in the "Pentax cant do sports, Gig photography camp" Ive seen lots of good plausible attempts. But nothing that consistently cuts the mustard. Camera's are getting better, in terms of focu...

I agree with the cant do sports but not the cant do gigs. The focus in the dark is better than any other camera costing less than £2000. Its the focus capabilities in the dark that stop me changing systems and ive been very close to changing alot recently given the fall in price of full frame bodies...

Munster Court and Gherkin
Outside my comfort zone giving critique on these Nigel. Can just say you've captured some great angles across the set, and they are all nicely composed :wink: I'd advise never let that hold you back Alan! :P Thanks very much for that encouragement - I'm very pleased a lot of these building images h...
