I seriously wonder sometimes if the whingers and moaners ever actually indulge in any meaningful and enjoyable photography or if photography is just a vehicle for them to whine on as a distraction from their miserable lives.
Rant over!!!

What you need are lenses, more lenses, bigger lenses, better lenses, faster lenses, and when you have these, your pictures will be perfect!

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Take home message; take pictures and have fun!
My K-5 may have a lot more noise than a CaNiSo FF monster am at the pixel level at high sensitivity. That doesn't mean the images are not good or not usable. My night shots from Berlin in 2017 are a great example. Mostly ISO 3200+. Is the noise even visible in print (A4) or at viewing sizes (27" screen)? Nope.

It’s not the speed of the focusing that’s the problem it’s just that it can’t keep it it is always hunting
Doesn't if you prefocus with the rear button before taking the shot. Any camera is likely to hunt using the half-press on the shutter release at the point of exposure. If one keeps the camera on a permanent autofocus system it tends to eat the battery faster due to the fact it is always hunting for the perfect focus. Par for the course.
What would be the point of pre focussing an image accurately only to have the camera change it at the moment of exposure when the shutter release is pressed? (And it isn't just Pentax cameras that would do that if you let them.)

In any case, should any Pentax user have concerns about other sorts of enlargement issues, then we only have to close our eyes and fantasize about all forthcoming new gear releases from Pentax, that should bring on the desired result!
