the lens and body both need to be set to af.

I know this sounds obvious but is the lens inadvertently set to manual focus?
sounds about right.

On a vaguely on-topic note, how does the 150-500mm Sigma behave? My Dad is looking at one for his K7 as it's roughly half the price of the 50-500mm and he already has the kit lenses covering 18-200mm. Logic states that the 150-500mm should have better IQ as it has a shorter zoom range, but I'd just be interested to hear what others have found.
have had 2 150-500mm and now have a 50-500mm os, the 50-500mm at 500mm is as sharp at 500mm wide open as the 150-500mm is at 500mm stopped down to f8.
also the focus is quicker on the 50-500mm and it cocuses alot closer.
is it worth the extra money, yes.

cheers for that, had a play on a k5 today which my friend has borrowed from a shop it a pre production model and i must say i realy liked it alot more than the k7 there is just more to it, and the af is defo alot faster than the k7 and the low light is way better, and also iso 6400 looks great.

have tried many, but use dscl now as prints are as good as the dearer ones.
the only problem i had with them is at first i used there printer profiles , which was making my prints lookes slightly washed out,
now i just send as srgb as that is the closest match to there fuji frontier printers(other than there printer profiles) but i get better results with the srgb(99% match to my calibrated monitors). also if you download the desktop kios its alot better and gives you a pro only option(which is if you want no corrections done ie coulor adjustment)
Anne, thats great info with regards to the ability to avoid 'inhouse' optimization (which is another reason I previously chose to use Peak Imaging). Looking forward to trying them out

(I find it staggering that DSCL offer 10x8 at 52pence and Peak are £2-35 ....)
there really are awsome prints, i print 12x8 and 18x12 alot as thats what 99% of my clients go for also they use fuji paper(i pick lustre at no extra cost)also they come really well packed,

not used it on a k-r but used it on a k100d super, k200d, k20d,k7, and there cracking i have had the non dg and dg versions no difference in pic quality, but the lens coating on the dg is better.
