Just checked the f stop in the properties Mac and it's just saying F0 exp was 1/250 at 50mm. I would think it was set at f 5.6 or there abouts.
I do try to focus on the dogs eye and hope for a decsent dof. Here is anothe r took with a Tamron 70/300.

I can more or less hit these shots all day with auto focus but I feel if I can just get to grips with the pentax the quality will improve.

Above are two photos shot with this lens when its good its very good as in the horse pic 1 photo.Pic 2/// I can not seem to get permanent results from it as I do with an auto focus lens. Can someone offer some tips to try and help me get better results more often.

Pentax and Tamron have an 18-250, which seems to give good results, and would be my ideal travel lens if I could only take a single lens with me.

I agree I have read some good reports on this lens I have the 70/300 and have some lovely photos from it as well.

I have the Tamron and for the money it's a steal in my opinion.Im more than happy with this lens.

I have been reading quite alot of reviews regarding the sigma 17/70 and mostly they seem to realy rate this lens. It is one Im considering buying myself at the moment.

I took these two photos using this lense on a k10 at the price I think it offers good value for the money. I have had some great action shots using it also.
