New member here, just wanted to say Hello. I've just moved up from a manual MX to a K5 and, to say the least, it's definitely different.
Regards, Sam

It's a big leap, I'm on a steep learning curve. Thanks for the welcome. Just posted three test shots here on the Pentax Lenses forum.

Thanks. Isn't Woking where McClaren F1's factory is located?

Yep - in a straight line it's about 1.5 miles from where I live. The factory is built on the edge of Horsell Common which is where the Martians first landed in H.G. Wells story "The War of the Worlds".

I've always thought Ron Dennis is part Martian.

The K5 is a fine camera. After a while, your fingers will do things by themselves but just try to learn one item t a time! Welcome to this friendly group.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
