It won't focus indoors, it won't focus outdoors, it won't work with flash, it's not full frame, Pentax is going bust, the sky is falling, it'll rob my Grandma, and there are live slugs inside the sensor. To name a few.Graham wrote:

If you put a < character before the EV4 in the sentence above it cuts the rest of the sentence off.

What do you mean "you didn't get a chance to use it because it was dark"? From all I've read, the middle of the night is when its primary improvements (less hunty AF and better high-ISO) come into their own. Go find a black cat!

Indeed the day I got my K-5 I went out shooting in town at night.
