Thank you Paul. When praising the DA 50-200 you talking about AF performance at the K10, don't you? I assume you havent tried it on the DS. Any others who has compared directly DS vs. K10?
The field at this event is smaller than a regular soccer field. So the tempo is high. Shooting a good team isn't very hard, but the bad one is a lot harder because next move is harder to predict. There is no rhythm in bad soccer. When speaking of birds in flight I was thinking of fed seagulls and similar objects. Not Lucy in the sky (far out) birds, maaan ;-) Tim Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 5. januar 2007 17:15 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: K10D and DA 50-200 and AF performance I've found the autofocus performance of the DA 50-200 to be quite good, even in continuous mode. I shot a bunch of pics of my granddaughter running around the yard with this combo last week. As a bit of a test I also shot a car driving down the street and a bicyclist approaching. The camera was able to focus in all these instances. However, I would add that while this would probably be a good lens for soccer (if you're standing on the sidelines), it's too short for shooting birds in flight.
