If you're interesting in its Samsung clone, the GX20, I've still got one for sale (mint condition, low shutter count) in the classified section. There's no practical difference between the brands. ................................

Under green trees a K-5 will think it is 'Fluorescent'.

Usually better to adjust manually using a shot of some galvanized metal, scaffold tube etc.

What a fantastic staircase. The photographs have captured it perfectly.

There were some differences between various 43mm's. The colour of the SMC was changed over time. The first one's that the magazines raved over didn't have the wart on the side. Lens caps changed.... some had felt on the inside. Some had just black screen printing others were stamped into the metal.

This looks a fantastic lens, but coupled with the K-3 ii in Jules link, it's even better. I can't see any point in FF if results from the K-3 ii are that good.

I shouldn't pixel peep...... but I am

Yes a dedicated antitwist plate would probably be better although it's rarely a problem as long as the screws are tight.

I've never checked how balanced my DA*300mm f/4 is on a tripod I must give it a try.

Have they moved production to the old Zenit factories in Russia

The K-3 (Pentax or Zenit? ) is currently £440 in Japan. I wonder what it cost to make? ......... Not £440 you can bet
