If you were to buy a K-X, what colour would you choose?
I think I would try white. (Imay regret keeping it clean)

I hired the Pentax 300mm last week. I was generally pleased with some of the football pics I took, compared to the 50-200 I have. I was really disappointed in the AF. It seemet to go in the opposite direction most of the time, then stop and focus the lens till it eventuall stopped. A few times, I was able to wach the lens focus while I waited. Is the K-20 or the K-7 have a faster and smarter AF.

Good action shots.

..and the canoniky users say Pentax can't do this!
those who say this have to, to justify their expenditure. I have found, that having the right lens makes the difference

there were other planes around, and yes, it was hot. I will be heading to the zoo this week-end with the 300mm and at my kids football matches as well.

I rented a 300mm DA* F4.0. My camera setting was 200 ISO Tv The shutter speed was at leat 1/1000's. The picture came out a bit washed, but I used a little PP (auto correct) It will be more difficult using it for football. Here is a link. I am not sure how to place pictures in a thread.

I have had no problems with any Pentax product I baught. I had the mirrors replaced on my ME, but that was long after the warrenty had run out. I ended up paying 25 quid. for the repair. Instead of no comment as an option, it should have neen not needed.
