Terry I thought it was always raining in the UK so getting something different then a blue sky shouldn't be so hard right

Just a bit of coulds would have been nicer but that isn't in your control so don't fret about it.

Does it have a special mode to shoot under ladies skirts

I don't think that is a must have for a DFA lens, this what I found on the UK site of pentax.

smc-DFA
This designation is used for lenses that are optimized for digital photography but can also be used with 35mm SLR cameras.

So in a sense most DA lenses can be qualified as DFA lenses.

Maybe we are both right, who knows?

Okay there is a build in micophone, yeah they didn't knew much about the K-7 in the shop. They didn't got any info about it they told me, just the demo model and 2 lines of information about it.

The mic is on top off the camera between the supports of the build-in flash.

No thanks

Go through all the reviews if you want but I don't think you will find something about a build in micophone. It also makes some sense because a weather sealed micophone??? I'm not into the sound systems but those aren't that easy to make I believe and cutting a hole through a weather proof body isn't that smart.
This what I found on pentaximaging.com.

They say nothing about recording sound with a build in mic.

You've a fair point there Steve, about designed and working.

Only the wide angles are a big problem with vignetting the rest work surprisingly well on 35mm film.

I already have the DA*50-135 so DA135 f/2.8 LIMITED is not on my wanting list to be honest but for some it might be a very tempting lens to get indeed, also the DA*400 f/4 would be a very welcome lens in the comunity.
I was more hoping for a nice zoom along the DA*60-250, maybe a redesinged FA*250-600 f/5.6 for all the wild life photographers out there.
If they would come with these lenses certainly the longer ones the lens line should be quite solid for Pentax, they are really lacking with the tele range at the moment.

There is also a Pentax DA17-70 f/4 SDM would go well with a DA*60-250 don't you think
We really know how to spend your money so don't worry

The problem is that Pentax say that DA are designed for digital so for fullframe to need to rename those lenses that will work on fullframe.
But then comes the question why aren't the DA*55 and the DA*60-250 named DFA* in the first place?

Peter I thought you said "So delicious....and then they are gone" so I wanted to ask you how they taste but never mind.

Nice photo Belinda, hopefully it will survive the rain.
Maybe you should've used a little bit of flash light to fill in the shadows in the plant, just a really tiny bit.
