K-50 + 50mm 1.8 AF-C burst with firetruck

Stopped on other side of road, typically have my K-50 in the car so I took a burst of a firetruck rushing by.  I'd say the keeper rate was solid for what is a pretty challenging circumstance as the screw drive and focus throw of the 50mm 1.8 DA does not instill the most confidence.

Last shot is slightly backfocused but then again the overall proximity and speed of the fire truck would tax my panning abilities more than the PDAF system here.

That said PDAF performance with AF-C and kids in flight is not that great on skin/eyes, etc.  Have to rely on focusing against bright clothing, etc.
