When I was using the K20D, I could not achieve the same results as the K5 in term of focusing for sports.

@Fengwei: Some suggestions, if I may? :b
maybe you should unsticky the other seasons of photos taken by pentax cameras threads, cause there's so many stickies now. :S

 

[pentriot]

no choice leh, they happened to be facing my lens, so given in to temptation & pressed the shutter.:devil:
actually also testing the FA*80-200 after conducting the AF Adjustment on the K5.
when the AF Adjustment set at "0", the pic not so sharp after cropped.
when set to +5, +8 & +10, the pic is sharper but don't see much difference with these 3 settings. so i set to +8.

Hi Ben,,could you advise which AF settings you used. AFS + Center point AF point? or the mult-AF point setting?

Nice shots. The athletes are impressive. Just look at the power in the strides.
