These are actually Orange Kites, but they were named red because there wasn't a name for orange..... It's the same with red hair..... Nobody has red hair it's orange.

I once saw two rocks on top of each other that had worn down to about 6 inches high

It would have a frame counter that went backwards and showed how many photographs you hadn't taken today
They could also bring out lenses with no glass or SDM motors in them
Come on Pentax.... Let's have another Pentax 1st

Macro is ths best way with lenses if you are doing that as finer detailed photos which then counts out the k1 as there is no deal ff macro lens yet

One of the sharpest lenses you can buy, but a pig to manual focus at normal distances and AF wouldn't be good enough for paintings.
The 'A' series version is also excellent, but can suffer from PF at times.
Normal lenses are OK at 0.45M and beyond plus f/1.7 will be brighter in the viewfinder.
A focusing rail would be a big advantage together with a Eye-Fi Card for test shots.

I thought a batterie's life was determined more by the number of recharging cycles, rather than it's age.
Batteries are also designed for a certain number of recharging cycles. The Pro Eneloops are not designed for as many of recharging cycles as the cheaper Eneloops so never use them in anything that is constantly being re-charged such as a phone.
