I went from K10D to K20D to K-r to K7 and the K7 is my least favourite by far. I've never been truly happy with it compared to the other 3 cameras and would have no qualms in selling it if I could afford the extra for a K30 or K5.

Loving it already.

Picked up lens from sorting office today, would have received it less than 24 hours after paying for it had I managed to beat my postman to my house!

It's in superb condition and definitely is a bargain, looking forward to taking it on holiday.

Thanks Jamie for the great packaging and the ultra fast delivery.

I think I may have suggested some about two pages back.

I had a Pentax K-r and quite miss it sometimes. I found it possible to get colourful, sharp, contrasty photos out of it with very little need for any processing other than a bit of cropping or straightening.

I sometimes find people get a bit carried away with the need to post process everything. Photography to a lot of us is just a hobby and it's more rewarding to me to not need to post process and to be able to get the jpeg looking good straight out of the camera. If you have time to shoot in raw and process everything then fair enough.

I found that by going to the custom image menu on my Kr and selecting bright or vibrant picture settings and then adjusting the contrast by +1 or +2 and the sharpness by +1 it gave very good results.

My jpegs improved even more in terms of contrast and colour by getting a used Pentax 16-45 lens to replace the kits lens, it's a lens that seemed to work very well with the Kr.

Lens arrived today, very quick and very well packaged, I'd definitely buy from Ralphpiano again. I'm fast becoming a fan of old manual focus Tokinas.
