Took this photograph today after asking if it was ok to take photos at a new bar that is close to where I live by.
I must say that the K-5 Autofocus is getting on my nerves sometimes. You really have to get whatever it is you want to focus on fairly big on the view finder because the sensor area seems too big. It doesn't quite inspire me with confidence at times, though trying other portraits later keeping in mind that sensor area size it did fine for the most part.
I tried the contrast autofocus and while that works great, it did hunt with my DA 70 quite a bit and I lost another portrait (out of focus) and the opportunity went on. I think this underscores that I need to learn manual focusing well with this camera. Certainly I love the tonal range/DR of it.
