My second battery, a cheap one off ebay, lasts far longer than the Pentax one.....

There's going to be lots of this at the Olympics I reckon....

It is a very favourable review, in fact all I've seen about it indicates it's a very good camera. If i was after a second body I'd definitely buy one. It doesn't look too good for video, however. But a lot of people never use the video on their cameras anyway. I've shot a total of about 10 minutes on my K5.

I am increasingly wondering if a FF model is next....now that I would buy, assuming it was any good, and reasonably small, which I am pretty sure it would be.

Very nicely done, great shot! I also think a square crop, with the brolly a bit off-centre, may be worth a try.

Thanks Carl, I have never opened a lens up before, but am willing to give it a try. What is a lens opening tool? I will have to find one of those.

I have a minor niggle with my FA 24-90mm. It's razor sharp at infinity focus, but at less than infinity it seems very slightly out, more so at f5.6. At f8 it's good at across the board. It's only a very small amount, but it is noticeable at 100% zooming into an image. Occasionally the focus "chatters" at infinity at 90mm. Any ideas?

I'd never heard of Mark Newson until the K-01 came out. Since looking at his website, I find it really odd that Pentax would get someone who appears to design extremely uncomfortable looking chairs to design a new camera. His specialty seems to be form ahead of function.

Lovely set, they all work very well together, especially with the info, to make a very interesting mini-article. I didn't realise there were any raptors that small!
