Greetings, all, I’m trying to convince herself that this is a great option for landscape images. Okay, okay, she was great over the K1ii and (mumbles number) lenses. Also understanding about the 645Z and the 45-85 lens. She is, however, drawing the line on my purchase of this. Says it’s not portable enough. Pshaw! Has she never heard of an axle and tractor tyres? Now here’s the thing, what arguments could you suggest to overcome this, in my view, totally unreasonable objection? All arguments gratefully received.

Tell her it will take wonderful pictures of her mother. Don't tell her it can focus into bedrooms seven streets away.

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Silly question, perhaps, but are you sure it's for landscapes and isn't the ultimate macro bellows? The sort of bellows that you could explain as essential for checking the quality of the diamond ring she's going to get for Christmas?

Just be sure you can get a Pentax K mount adapter.
