Or a review by Feeb, however you want to look at it :) Well i FINALLY today recieved my 50-135mm. This was no fault of the lovely people at SRS where i bought it, but the fault of me for loosing my card on NYE and not managing to get a new one issued to make payments until yesterday (and i have recieved my lens today which just shows have fab SRS are :) ) Anyway, the K5 is a beautiful little camera, tactile and light and yummy, i like the feel of it and where all the buttons are, the lens adds alot to the weight of it but its still probably a third to a half lighter than my D700 setup. Obviously i am not some sort of lens guru, but i can see no difference in the build quality of this lens and my Nikkor 28-70, it feels well built, its nice to hold and doesnt weigh me down too much (but thats probably because the camera is lighter, rather than the lens) i was quite shocked with how long it takes to autofocus, but i am not a major fan of autofocus anyway, use it possibly to 'check' that its well focused but its not really a huge problem for me that its quite slow (i can see how this would be a problem for some though) i am very much looking forward to taking the camera out when my husband wakes up, i will give a review of picture quality then very very impressed though and glad to be rocking the pentax kit again :) feels gooooood
