Comment by cabstar posted on WTB: Sigma 100-300 f4 at 20/01/2013 - 21:35

Here is a good example, here is a photo with my dog, always a good subject anyhow my mki would not focus at all due to the dark hair, just kept hunting backwards and forwards, the mkii locked on instantly and as you can see on the 16-50 at 2.8 which is considered a soft lens is razor sharp, that for me is the main difference.

Chris, have you tried the iis with your Sigma 100-300 f4 attached and if you have was there a big difference in af speed?

Comparing my lenses on the mkii to mki there is none if very little difference in af speed, by af speed i mean the time it takes for the lens to go from near to infinity, however, what is clear is due to the low light focus improvement the af hardly hunts, so locks on instantly and is also alot more accurate. If i had two lenses the same i would do a video comparison, unfortunately i dont so cannot...

I like the feel of the super a in my hand, but i prefer to use the mz50. Its cheap, its multimode and its autofocus.

The sutofocus on the mkii is an amazing improvement, it just works doesnt it?

DA * 16-50mm

Sharp at 2.8
Fast to focus with the k-5
Great IQ

I put oiff buying this lens for so long due to all the negativity that surrounds it over failed SDM and too heavy at the end etc and yet i love it. I had a tamron 17-50mm for over four years and whilst its a good lens the Pentax is just head and shoulders above it.

I pick up my pro 2 16 gig card tomorrow, hopefully they have improved over the older versions.

Only other option is to use a wifi sd card and send direct to laptop, tablet or phone for viewing and editing etc...
