Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

You have a K3!!? How does it feel?
Love the contrasting textures.

It is great Carl, I am finding so many benefits I didn't even consider before I bought it:

- It is great with old MF lenses - the focus confirmation in the viewfinder is much more accurate than any previous Pentax body I've owned, even in near darkness

- The White Balance and metering are excellent - it avoids blown out highlights much better than a K-5

- Focus Peaking on the rear LCD is excellent

- It is very fast

- I can record RAW and JPEG onto separate SD Cards - WOW!

- Detail levels are quite staggering, even comparing it to a K-5iis

All in all, it is a superb camera.

Regards
David

Awww, very jealous...sounds as good as they say it is!! Nice to see Pentax and Ricoh are starting to develop some competitive cameras!!.

A cracking shot and there are some super old lenses out there. I got rid of mine along with my Pentax K1000 when the digital age started.
I only wish I had hung on. Congratulations on your supper new K3.

Thank you very much John. Why not buy some more old lenses? There are plenty of good ones out there!

Yup - buy some favorites back with converter rings. Then you could try for shots as good as this one.
