As some of you may have seen I covered a motorcycling event last weekend and was amazed at how well the K-5 did with the Sigma 150 500.

Below is just an example




Now I know what all of you will be thinking. "if the images are good with what you currently have, why not stick with it?"

Well yes thats true - im well pleased with the capability of the setup BUT what other lenses out there are available to go with the Pentax body?

Have any of you any experience of the DA 60 250 or DA 300?

Any examples of motorsport photos GLADLY accepted


Cheers

This was first time out at a motorcycle event and I have to say the experience was a great one.

The two shots below were the ones most enjoyable to try out.

Continuous AF

THANKS

Prior to last month I had never bothered shooting anything but wildlife with the Sigma 150 500.
I continue to be impressed by the quality of this lens and dont understand what all the palava is about Pentax not being able to reach the dizzy heights of canon and nikon in autofocus capability. I received more incredulous looks and genuine shock of how good this setup was by top Canon shooters yesterday.


The photos below are a great example also of just how good the JPEGS are out of the K-5.

I changed it to 10MP and all photos are simply cropped. No other editing

Enjoy!

Lovely colours

Thanks.... Very pleased with it

The last one is a masterpiece...

FAB

The first one is awesome.. do you think its sharper than the kit 18 55?

Heres a photo that I took of a sunset in the flooded meadows near my home. I still dont have proper grads etc so this is all I can do right now with a £5 ND screw filter on my 18-55 on the K-5

F10
2 Second exposure


Any thoughts?
