But its for shooting weddings, for the price difference between the k-30 and even a secondhand k-5 from SRS its a no brainer.

Another k-5 mki or mkii

Can't beat working with matching bodies. I prefer to concentrate on my subjects and can only do that with matching bodies.

Wide open all the way I always thought, surely the narrower depth of field the more back or front focus will show...

Out of interest are there any k-5 owners who have spot on focus with all their lenses.

Since owning the mkii all my lenses are spot on razor sharp with no adjustments needing to be made, which means all my lenses are fine. Yet both my previous k-5 needed so much tweaking plus and minus I am beginning to wonder if its the poor af on the previous pentax bodies that was more an issue than any adjustments required.

Like Dave said just get stuck in, down front and centre. Does depend on the venue size though, if you are looking to smuggle into an arena I would suggest a Q with 50mm lens attached, will easily fit in the pocket and no one stops people with pocket cams at arenas any more.

For smaller venues the k-30 is ideal for gigs, fast focus, good at low light. Stick a 50mm 1.8 on it and away you go...

Just done some quick comparison tests and I am struggling to see much difference. Maybe I will test again with a portrait subject...

Only converters upto 1.7x will work with sdm due to the light limitation...
