Thanks Alan. There aren't a lot of places for both dinner and dancing, they're done consecutively these days. I'm very happy with the lens. I got it more for photographing musicians, where I always want a bit more reach and a bit more speed. For these I could have used my 77, especially since I had the 85 stopped down to 2.2, but it was fun to play with it. Most of my shooting lately has been with the K-3II. It's a lot easier to carry on bike rides, and it works well with the 18-270. It was interesting to compare things like focus speed, buffer speed, and focusing with the joystick vs the toggles.

A great gallery, Larry. The lens is clearly ideal for that sort of work. Takes me back - Ann & I did a lot of that in Rhodesia when we were young - Sat. night Dinner/Dances. Nothing like that around here any more.
