I'm thinking about this strap at the moment, i like the minimal design and the use of materials but it's a "sling" strap for over your shoulder.

David, when you get the hang of developing the RAW files it will only take seconds, certainly when you can do batches at a time.
If you like PSE better you might want to take a look at lightroom, it does cost quite a bit of more but it does speed up things.
You can get a 30 day trail at Adobe if you're interested.

Though call but with these kind of lenses it's better to get the one you really want, you might pay a bit extra but it will be more satisfying and maybe cheaper in the long end when you sell your lens and buy the lens you actually wanted.
I think you should just try out the WR version, it might be more expensive but many thinks the build quality and the feel of the manual focus ring are worth it, since it seems to be splendid when you've it in your hands.
The biggest differnce between the current Pentax and the Sigma/Tamron macro's would be the quick-shift, when you adjust the camera so that it doesn't need a focus lock you can use MF and AF when you need it and want it. I've my camera set like that, it's like having a Manual focus camera but with AF on demand, so great

There is one way and that's to stack multiple exposures.If you need to get a long exposure to create certain effects with waves and water, then you need a physical filter. No amount of post is going to recover info out of blown highlights from an exposure measured in whole seconds.
btw the perfect way to replace GND digitally is to use mutliple exposures as well but with different exposure values so you get a kind of HDR but more selectively so to say.

Pentax is japanese so it would be most likely sake I wonder if the Pentax rep has been handing out bottles of scotch
But he is right though the D7000 is aimed at user a step below the K5 is it isn't surprising.

All you need to do is put it on and it should work.
Do you've any EV compensation on perhaps and what distance are you using the flash and with what lens?

Do you shoot with one hand or hold the camera in your hand when you don't use it?My right fingers seem to fatigue quite quickly holding the K-5 + lens.
Maybe adjusting your grip (hand position) might improve handling

Possibly built in hoods are out for reasons of AF lens construction. In any event, as we now have bayonet hoods at least they are better than screw-in ones!
