Hi David.
I have a K10, would love to update to a K5, but no funds.
Enjoy your K5.
Take care.

Hi David - my first Pantax - many years ago - was a ME super - lovely camera.
Welcoem to the Forum - look forward to seeing some photos.
I have a K7 but am lusting for a K5!!!
Keep waiting for the price to drop! Maybe I'll just go ahead and buy it soon. Did you buy any lenses with the K5??
Cheers....John

Thank you all for the welcomes....................
Kenty, I already had the 16-45 f4 DA and the 55-300 f... to.... that I was using with the K10D but got an 18 to 55 WR kit lens so I can play in the rain properly instead of having to use my Optio W60!! Still have to get it wet... tomorrow looks promising I prefer it more clement but that's what living up here in NE Scotland gives you.
Prices will drop now I've got mine.....

New member here. First started with Pentax in the late 60's. Pretty much took a hiatus from all things photography from late 80's when my career path changed, to a little over 5 years ago when youngest granddaughter was born. From that first smile it was evident that she was going to be a natural model, and Papa needed to ramp up his skill set.
Current gear is a K1MII, K3II and a mixture of glass for both. My 1st love is studio, having converted one bay of a garage into a multipurpose space. I use Paul Buff Alien Bees and the Cybercommander for lighting. Last year was supposed to be my break out year on portraiture. I had several projects lined up from a Firefighter series for a calendar to several glamour shoots. Got a good start on the Firefighters series and then the pandemic hit so basically it all came to a screeching halt. I shoot landscape on occasion, but my heart isn't in it and it shows. So for the past several months I've mainly practiced and experimented with techniques and post processing skills.

Hi PenCroz and SMOKE665. I know nothing about 'glamour' whatever but I do know the K5 is a fantastic camera. Welcome to a great forum and we all look forward to seeing what you produce.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
