Very nice shots Alistair. Out of interest how many did you shoot to get two like this? I'm assuming the lens used was manual focus?
I struggled with MF lenses on the K-5, but find them easy to use on the K-01 (my M50 F1.4 lives on the K-01 permanently now) and on the K-3, primarily due to focus peaking which works wonders, but also on the K-3 the focus confirmation with MF lenses is a lot more accurate than on any previous Pentax body I've owned. I tend to use my M50 F1.4 wide open and at this aperture there's no room for error.

Sometimes I'm serious and sometimes not, but I consider sarcasm an artform. Which is it today?

Yes david i focus on something 12 feet away (zone focusing) and then pull back to around 4 feet if I have time to do so when they get closer
