Exif:
PEntax k7
FA 50mm
f2.2
1/60
ISO640

So many threads about this... and how lame Pentax is...

K7-DA*200mm - ISO100 - f4.5 - 1/320

In flight, panning, then composed 3 shots. The middle one is fractionally less sharp then the other 2, but in general, at this distance, and in difficult light (shooting against the sun), the K7 tracked the bird amazingly i think.

amazing,

good luck with the competition judging then!

usually the comments to the entries are posted after the competition is finished (00:00 on sunday night) in the main page of the competition.

I would suggest looking at previous competitions for an idea of what should be the judge's responsibility. I can remember this link as one of the largest competitions in recent times! (and great effort on Hyram's behalf!)

somebody give him the harsh news...

mentionning it, my entry of the lady begging on the train, was really one of the hardest photographs I have ever taken, and as much as I don't value it too highly on a technical level, I (in my enormous humility ) find it really interesting!!!!!

Tha'ts how i'd judge it LOL

I find it particularly annoying that if - by random chance - I win a competition, I then spend a good amount of time throughout the week in assessing, commenting, judging all the 36 entries, sometimes struggling not to be boring, rude, grammatically correct, slightly humurous...

I shall suggest for the host of the weekly competition to spend 5 minutes every evening of the week, and writing a short commentary to the entries submitted until that point. Once the week is over, only the sundays' entries will need commenting, and a clear judgment be done on all the photographs. Perhaps this will relieve of the pressure of 'rewarding' un-worthy photographers with a minimal comment to their image.

Not impressed.

Kind regards to all,

Nathan

Very interesting, i would have thought that the AF would be able to cope with the full focus range.

But good to know!

right, but you don't have to 'pre-focused manually to "some where near" ' - right?

I mean, does the screw drive not work normally? does the AF hunt more than the usual?

are you saying that focus is fast becauyse the TC bypasses the SDM focussing and therefore uses the in-camera AF motor?

does it make it much faster than the lens on its own?

what TC is this you're talking about, is it the Pentax version?
