and lense or 2
The AF hold stops the camera from hunting straight away if a linesman or a player passes between the action and camera.
I'm not one to blame my tools so was reasonably happy with the K5 but have to say the K3 is an improvement and Pentax are heading in the right direction regarding sports photography, I'm not saying they are up there with Canikon yet but they are catching up.

They appear a little contrasty and saturated; is that a deliberate attempt to make them look like Canon shots?
I also think that now with th K3, the right lens and an competent operator Pentax are back in business for sports shooters as demonstrated by yourself, Gary and others.

LBA is good for you, a Lens a day helps you work, rest and play.
I'll try recalibrating my monitor tonight.
I had presets in LR for my K5 but haven't had time to make them for my K3 yet, another job that needs doing !
Would that lens be able to cope if Barrow ever got another player as fast as Les Quirk (The Arrow from Barrow ) Later sold to St. Helens and seen here in 1990......

Pentax K-1 + K-5 and some other stuff

Barrow have got a couple of wingers this year that are supposed to be pretty quick, i haven't had chance to test the 60-250mm on them yet, I'm sure I'll get a chance sooner or later, will post the results.
It would be interesting to see how well the Pentax tracks a
winger.

A super set of images Did you get any of the chaps in green actually holding the ball
I'm club photographer for Barrow Raiders so concentrate on them more than the visitors, I did have a few of Keighley with the ball admittedly mostly with their back to me,
you can see all the photos from the game at Barrow Raiders v Keighley Cougars
