At Wentworth a couple of weeks ago I managed to get the K5IIs into the course (by carrying it in my hand through the ticket area - they must have thought that as it wasn't a C@non or N*kon it wasn't a camera ) only to discover (after an hour or so of overtly shooting) that cameras were not allowed So on the second day I was slightly less overt, and took just a careful few. Here are my favourites - there are few more on my Flickr stream. C&C welcome - all taken with K5IIs and DA55-300

I'm glad it's not just me that changes my mind like this!

Like others, I switched from a K20 to a K5IIs and immediately noticed that the IIs is significantly quieter than the K20 was, and similarly the K200 as well!

A most useful thread - I too am facing a similar dilemma: replace the 18-55 that I sold with another 18-55WR (my son is just starting to get interested in photography using my old K200 so I want to keep at least one kit lens), or upgrade to some better glass. Having upgraded to a K5IIs, I now feel I need to save up for some high quality lenses to get the most from it.

My shortlist is similar: DA16-45 or Tamron 17-50. The DA17-70 would also feature if I could find a cheap one. I would love to put a DA*16-50 on it, but that's just plain unrealistic!!

Good luck with your hunt - I'll watch this one closely.

PM sent..passing on lens for time being, thanks anyway Peng

Thank you, Phil, for a pleasant and easy transaction...wishing you many happy hours of successful photography with your new K20...welcome to the wonderful world that is Pentax

Nope, I couldn't work this out either...they are the same lens, but priced wildly differently! If you search their website with 'D FA 100 they both come up along with the non-WR version, but only the pricier one is listed under the Pentax lenses section!

Now on its way to a new home

Pipped at the post Enjoy the lens, Bob - having bought my K5IIs from John, I know it will be immaculate
