I've been using the K5 IIs quite a lot for all sorts of shots. I've put the Sigma 17-50mm OS f/2.8 on it and quite like the combo.

Took it to Rochdale on Saturday to take some shots of Mark Alexander getting a new motorcycle. A Yamaha XT1200.

The panniers were put into the boot of my car before we left for home.

I'm beginning to like the Sigma over my 16-50mm Pentax as it seems sharper at the edges over my 16-50mm.

Best regards

Inspiration is rarer than a plate glass camera.....

I still love my K-5iis Gary, In think it's a classic in the line of Pentax crop sensor cameras.

These look great, very sharp and defined.

I bet it is the superior noise performance compared with the K3 that makes you keep hold, David?
