Sharp files are bigger. Pentax probably assume that you will be getting shots that are sharp.... in focus etc.

At 16.5mb Sandisk say you should get 1,440 shots on a card. So at 33mb it should be 720 shots.

I'm not sure what your problem is, but most things that write to cards also store temporary files and must therefore keep some space in reserve. Even hard disks do that.

You don't see much interest in this lens from Pentaxians probably because it's FAST AND QUIET so seen as two less things to moan about which would be very sad.

I almost bought it myself this morning, but SRS's site wouldn't work so I left it. Probably a good thing because I only have a K-1 to use it on. I don't think it will work with my K-5.

It's been available for years on Pentax via certain Sigma lenses. The 150-500mm is quite impressive and also useful for use on a tripod when 500 or 500+TC will still shake.

I never though about it before, but it probably makes manual focus easier if the image is stationary.

I've only seen tests from the K-7 and K-5 which showed SR most effective a few stops either side of 1/20th sec. and hardly any advantage at around 1/125th or faster.

The SR has improved since but I wouldn't expect much improvement at fast speeds.

That's a new one fungus doesn't effect the optical quality

Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole

It's frightening seeing how low some SH Canon bodies have dropped.....
Canon and Nikon are DOOMED!
