Seriously when I came over to the erm "Light Side".
I mentioned my usual two Body set up and was told I was being a bit daft wanting two bodies, not so sure now, even if you don't use it it's nice to know it's there!
Can I have my old K7 back please???

When I only had one body I missed so many shots due to changing lenses that I would always take two bodies out on a shoot now.

It sure does. But it's still a damn fine camera. Let's hope the initial debacle with the K-5 teaches pentax a lesson not to repeat when the K-3 arrives.

...which seems a real shame. Reading between the lines the K5 is a serious contender bogged down by "ha'p'orth of tar type issues.

I am now using three bodies when out & about. No lens changes and 10-200mm lens coverage. Most people who have not shot with two or more bodies can't see reason or the benefit of two bodies.Seriously when I came over to the erm "Light Side".

Events like the Whitby Goth meet, are typical examples. It's a two body event. Things happen fast, so scrambling to change glass is not an option. You'll need a 70-200mm for the longer shot and a 16-50 or similar for the closer shots.
Best regards
Too far from a shore.

Coming back round to the two body set up again as I have never been happy with just the one! I now have my Lens set up pretty much as I want it but alas it will have to wait now as an Epson Pro 3880 and V700 Scanner got in the wayjules wrote:

Despite this and rarely if ever having these problems with my previous Digital Nikons, I enjoy my Pentax sufficiently to put up with this until I get a less unruly one. I really do love it round here, and love the handling of the K5/7 Bodies better than any other DSLR I've used! Am I mellowing since coming back to the Pentax fold?
