Re: K-5 and Waterfalls

It is a pretty waterfall.
I never thought about using live view after the filter was on..  I focus and etc. then screw the filter on being careful to not jiggle quickshift manual focus.

OP, this type of operation, either my way or David's way, is a good time to have focus operation decoupled from shutter button.  Use the rear AF button to get things set (or liveview) and then take the picture with shutter button.  Unless you move, focus shouldn't need adjustment while you try a few shots.

If I used live view to frame and focus, I might go back to optical viewfinder while I am taking my pictures.  Saves battery.

If you don't like the idea of turning the rear AF button to 'enable AF' and the shutter button AF function to off, you could set up a user mode for.. waterfalls or whatever you like and try out the rear button that way.
