I have had this issue on both my k-5 bodies and always put it down to the light changing on stage. Never thought of it being a camera problem before...

Nice one, I have never been asked by a client what I shoot with and no one can tell from an image what it was made with either

Saturday shooting a wedding 1600 then onto the club 480 then Sunday onto Latitude Festival 900 not a bad weekend. That was between two bodies although the majority on the k-5 mkii

No, holding it steady was a huge problem, most of these where at around 200mm and shot 3 at 300mm

Covered Latitude festival on Sunday in Suffolk. Decided to show you some from the k-01 with the Tokina 100-300mm f/4 mf lens.

Main problem was holding the beast steady, difficult with the rig in front of you rather than up against the eye. Whilst the focus was spot on i lost a lot of shots to blur. The k-01 is definitely best with lenses upto 100mm.

More shots from the day can be found on my flickr stream, link in my siggy

All shot at f/ 4in AV mode with auto ISO, I like simplicity and the k-01 meters fairly accurately.

Edited on the ipad using photogene.

I always found the focus throw of the 28mm sigma too short for accurate focus. It is nice when you di get focus right though.
