Nice shots!

I tried taking some pictures at a ballroom dancing competition but had quite a struggle with the focus. I used my NX30 with the 18-200 lens.

There is the problem right there, 18-200 is too dark and has trouble focusing because of it, which is ironic because the AF VCM (voice coil motor) is actually very fast.

What lens did you use? And which settings for AF?

85mm f/1.4, I don't know his AF settings of course ^_^.

I recently acquired an NX500 with a 16-50PZ lens, looking forward to taking pictures at the next competition (this Sunday), so hope you can help!
