Were you using single point focus with the K-1? I was able to get a good hit rate shooting pans of cars Friday night with single-point continuous focus. Of course it’s easy to predict where the subject will be. I screwed up some pics the next day at the farmer’s market when I forgot to take the camera off continuous focus and was reframing after getting focus. The camera, of course, refocused on a different area because it was on continuous.
