Only used them once for a warranty repair on my k-5, was told 10 to 15 working days arrived back within 7 I think.

Called the for original claim and again for follow up, both handled professionally.

I used Johnson's in Glasgow, totally different business, before for a lens repair and they where waiting I think two months for a part from Pentax...

Hmm think people on here have been moaning about af speed since the beginning of time. Now we have what looks like a significant increase people are saying its a poor upgrade...

Can't please everyone all the time. I don't think pentax will replace their flagship ApS c body with full frame, rather they will have both k-5 and an ff model...
Depends what you're upgrading from IMO. I can't currently afford to upgrade my two current K-5s just for better AF performance, so I'm waiting for a similar kind of leap that we had from the K20D to K-5, which I would expect next year or 2014
For me e k5 af improvement was a lot better than the gx20 so I will definitely buy the k5 mk2 just for the improved af, it's he only thing that lets down my k-5

Ok that looks like it was shot with a long fast zoom possibly a 70-200mm 2.8

The 50-135 Pentax lens will be ideal for this shoot...
