Thanks John, a lot more nailed the focus this time than the last time I was here, 104 images shot, 102 sharp.
The last one ( the head on shot ) even the K1 would prob have not nailed the focus

Wish there was a firmware upgrade to improve the K1 to this standard of autofocus like Fuji have released in the past but alas there isn't!
That amount of keepers is great news and I'm certainly thinking of flexing the never never and investing!
What the AF like in low light?
Thinking a K3iii could be a great accompaniment to the K1 for wedding photography.
Great images BTW

Pretty good, the last shot with the cyclists head on was under heavy shaded trees, they appeared at a decent pace and it nailed the focus first time, 21 spots used. BBFWhat the AF like in low light ?
I needed 800 iso just to get 1/50th sec with a bit of DOF @ F6.3, noise wise, good useable images certainly up to and including 3200 iso, not really needed to be above that so far, they clean up well in post.
