What does that mean???
"The difference in price can easily make up for a better lens."
He presents a balanced argument for all of the flavours of the K-5 today.
It does look promising though

The k-5 (mk i) looks brighter to me???
I cant wait to see some really good sharp head shots with the mk iis, the macro shots posted over the weekend look superb.

What might be slightly more helpful to point out is that Pentax have a planned 1.4x AF teleconverter on their K-mount lens roadmap for (possibly) sometime in 2013... or later. Okay it's a bit vague but I think that's as much as anybody outside of Pentax knows right now.

Number 7 is a cracking action shot
Just seeing the Mk1 and Mk11 Esmonds (escorts) makes me smile
Great shots again Simon

The kitchen has no windows and is full of fluorescent lighting
I think I will be set up in a space in the kitchen on a stainless steel counter. The food is being cooked for customers and I am to photo it immediately after being ready and before the waiter takes it away.
I think I am going to go with an overhead light box wireless triggered and also get some white Perspex to stand the plate on and as a backdrop.

Anyone shot food before?
Any tips?

I shoot with two bodies k-5 and gx-20 usually with the zooms attached.
I then use the 50mm 1.4 for the bridal shoots and the 35mm 2.4 to capture the decoration at the venue.
Flashes on both bodies for fill light.
I shoot RAW and do all editing in Lightroom.
Here's a small selection of my wedding work
