I think Pentax will fall into its regular pattern of slight improvement before a major change, possibly keep the k-5 body but improve af speed, larger buffer, faster fps & maybe tethering... maybe even improve the already fantastic sensor...

It is good, I prefer to use it on my GX20, seems to be a good fit, I think the K-5 performs to well & shows up the imitations of the lens, could just be my imagination

I had what I later found out to be the Kenko version, this worked with my DA* 50-135mm but needed really strong outdoor light to lock on, I guess the 1.4 lets in enough light for the focus to lock...

Always use m mode on my flash set to 1/128 just for fill to get rid of any shadows.

Only the ladyhawke image is 50-135

The majority are gx20 with the tamron 17-50mm.

Festival season has finally started here in the UK with Live At Leeds, which is a festival you guessed in Leeds, UK.

Set in many venues around Leeds you have to choose your acts carefully as getting around Leeds is a small problem with lots of kits.

Venues range from the small university hall to the O2 Academy.

Used all my kit for these, can you guess which??

A curious idea, let's put prices up £100 so the dealers can offer £50 body only or £80 off with a lens.
It's not he dealer that offers you £50 off though its a cash back deal, so the offer is with Pentax.

At Amazon price is currently £740.41 - £50 = £690.41, so price is lower than before price increase...
