I was asked to photograph at a Milonga (tango social dance) last night and discovered the Achilles heel of the K3-III autofocus. Dim, reddish (warm, aka low color temperature) light. It wouldn't lock focus for anything.
I had also tried setting the AF button to back button AF, rather than AF lock, and that totally screwed me. There were times when focus was likely good enough, but it refused to take the photo no matter what I did. At least with AF lock, I can say "screw it, it may be blurry, but there's a chance it will turn out". Lesson learned on that point. I'm in the middle of going through the photos right now and I realized that this whole sequence of photos that just looked amazing were ones I took with the 77. Damn, but that's some amazing pixie dust that they used on that lens. __ Larry Colen from Lothlorien l...@red4est.com -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
