Hi all I went to pick up above mentioned lens this afternoon. loks and feel nice on the K-5, however me thinks there is a problem. I know the AF of Canon and Nikon are quite fast leaving us Pentaxians hunting and pecking our way through landscapes and soccer photos, BUT, 2-3 seconds to lock on and focus on a static object.?? Me thinks that's a bit to slow. The salesman and i played with it for 10-15 minutes. It did get a tad faster to focus but it was still painfully slow. I know it will not be as snappy as my Nikon 70-200 f2,9 VR lens, you can barely hear anything and it locks on faster than Mike Johnson deleting a cat photo.
So, am i missing something with this SDM system. Is it painfully slow or should it be as fast or faster to AF on a subject as the screw focus lenses. Do i need to adjust a menu setting or something.
