Oops didn't quote the post I was replying too...

No no no!!!

Lightroom is laid out in a logical sequence. In develop module you work down the various sliders from top to bottom, that's how it's been designed. This way you set colour balance then exposure etc....

That's how intuitive Lightroom is it has the workflows built in in order, even the modules are in order, e.g library then develop then publish etc...

The k-7 didn't get a price cut when the k-5 was launched if I remember correctly,,,

Ahhhhhh no!!!!

Arrived today, thanks Mike

Just had a quick go with my tokina 100-300mm and really impressed with the focussing speed and sharpness.

Well if e new q adaptor is £249 I imagine the k mount teleconvertor is going to be more likely £300ish

That's a lot of wants for one post

I only have one sdm lens and I would estimate its done around 60-70000 shots over the last 4 years and never had an issue with it.

I think what happens when an expensive item fails we now tend to google faults to see if they can be resolved. Google pentax sdm failure and you will find a list of links to various forums where people discuss this. This then creates a feeling of commonality when in reality it is probably a small number of the user base suffering with the sdm failure.

If mine was to fail now I would just pay for the repair.

Can you still buy a new 50mm f/1.7?

Do you mean the new 1.8 or the older 1.4?

The new 1.8 is going to cost more due to be being new, compare e price of the 1.4 against canon or nikons, you maybe surprised!

The only shortage in the Pentax line up is fast glass over 300m
