So no 18-135 lens after all?

Sadly, there has to be some realism to this process.
We've both set up the cameras the same, so when we work together every shot will match as well as possible.
All very nice and smooth, ultra-quiet shutter, and an effective LV for when it's needed.
Will report back with samples after the obligatory trip to Arley Hall on Sunday!
They arrived safely today, first batteries are charged and Sue has beaten me to it with a faultless shot from the TV screen.

Sounds like Christmas in April....
Always good to get new kit to play with.

No, no 18-135mm lenses for now. It would have added an extra £1000 to the bill and overlapped too much with our existing lenses.

Youre just right John
HAHAHAHA!!!

Ordered from SRS yesterday... K-5 and bits arrived about half hour ago.
Initial thoughts: menus are a bit different to the K-7 but more logical, shutter is wonderful, IQ is stunning, and even the 18-55WR is very respectably made!! LV is a huge improvement, dual level sensor is useful, configuration of RAW button is wonderful.
Have fun John & Sue!!

It will be sad to see the K10D and one K20D go because I liked the design, but the K5 will offer advantages for our available light wedding shots and also for our new interest in shooting wildlife.
We will keep one K20D as backup, but eventually it too may well be upgraded. It's a constant evolution with digital cameras, which I guess is good news for those who make them and those who sell them.
