Cool - be interesting to hear your comparisons to the Pentax K-5 once you've got into the D600. Sad that such discussion isn't allowed on here.

I've really enjoyed your contributions and seeing your photographs here Gary - one of the forum stalwarts and amongst the most talented here. Sad to see you go, but the reasons are pretty clear
Hope the switch gives you what you need , and very best

Sorry to hear you are leaving Pentax Gary, but i understand your reasons. Your images and contributions will clearly be missed and it is a shame this site is loosing such a good photographer who used to shoot Pentax. I would however like to wish you all the best in the future.
But, I hope you come back to Pentax someday, full Frame or not!

Best Wishes for your Nikon adventure, always admired your excellent pics. As per Smeggys comment your views between the K5 and the Nikon would make for interesting reading. Perhaps on another forum though.

This was a very tough decision to make but alas I have.
My Pentax journey has been long good but ultimately I need full frame and cannot wait for Pentax to come up with a full frame body.
Thanks for all the support the users of Pentaxuser forum have given me over the years and the critique which has helped me as photographer and hopefully I have also helped some people along the way.
Regards
Gary
