Some shots from today all with DA*200/2.8
.
Lots of great Shots there Ashwin - but that one is my favorite - excellent!Mainly 200 DA and 77 FA
Wow. Nice!! Didn't realize you'd gone back out there. Great shots!Mainly 200 DA and 77 FA
I'm impressed with the quality of the K5. Really nice. ("Zion" looks suspiciously like Bryce Canyon in these shots. Is that the lens or the camera? )Took the K5 with me to Utah's national parks...here are a few from Zion with the 77FA and 200 DA lenses....

Woody....nice shots of your family.Images from the 300 look really good to me. Like Knorp, I am interested in what you may have discovered about focus lag. I simply can't use my 200 SDM for my Grandson's soccer because of it.
Hey Roy,Out on the dawn patrol in weak light with the 77FA. There's been a trend toward landscapes lately so I thought I would add one of my own: trunk of a tree that resembles an aerial photo of a desert scene. Also 3 pics of palm trees giving birth to new branches...again, in weak light, with this amazing lens nearly wide open.

BTW: "birth" pics are out of sequence...should be #2, #4, and then #3
Good man, Rich !Woody....nice shots of your family.
I am going to have to go out and compare the 200 and 300 on moving objects. My instinct is that it is not so much the lenses as the lenses plus the continuous focus capability of the K-5. It's just not a sports shooters camera.
The reason I say this is when I was shooting jumpers with the K-5/300 combo, there probably was not a single crisp shot in the lot. I look back at shots with my 7D/400 prime (since sold) and they were spot on.
Life's tradeoffs
......but I am curious now, I'll go check it out.

Woody, lovely shots of your daughter and grandson.Attached are two images at the soccer game yesterday. Both are of my daughter and her 11 week old son. These were taken with the K-5 and the 77 FA
HI BartBoth with the DA*200, I loke how it renders the background, mind you there's a brick wall out there !
Thanks for viewing.

Roy,"Microscapes": We've seen landscapes on a grand scale recently (Ashwin, Carl, Ario)...The 31 FA focuses down to about 10" and produces images from the knots in the backyard fence that will remind you of organisms viewed through the microscope ("microscapes"): amoeba, paramecia, etc. You'll need a little imagination here.
