The K-R can do 11 point auto point selection, 5 point auto point selection, center point only and manual point selection - exactly the same modes as the K-5, just a lot slower to switch between them as you have to go into the 'Info' menu.

Yeah think you should have done some 'light reading' before purchase, guess the middle man Ebay will be happy either way

Friendly Well of course I know that. At the price offered well worth it to evaluate the benefits of the other features without losing out. My conclusions are:-
I've found the mount on the DAL to be perfectly robust and an identical(less the logo) hood can be purchased for a few pounds. Quickshift is certainly beneficial, just a question as to whether it's a hundred pounds beneficial or the difference would be better spent elsewhere.:

I would choose the DA version without any doubt, so don't feel too badly about it.
Best regards, John
