On my gx20 I had no issues shooting at ISO 1600 with my k-5 which I am still finding my way around but ISO 2000 seems good....

Nice set, I like the press call with the guy using a blackberry, classic ))

The shot of Jensen looks like a press shot, very well done...

Another vote for the 35mm f2.4 what a great lens that is, bargain too...

One of my shots has made the Daily Star website

I know what you mean about the k-5 feeling different to the k20d with the slightly different button layout. Having compared the k-5 with the k-7 side by side in the same Jessops as you, I realised I wanted the k-5 & so far have not been disappointed, I thought I would miss the grip on my gx20 & at first I did, but now really like the lightness.

I didn't like the k-x but liked the k-r, but missed the extra dial & buttons.

Yes new watermark, but forgot to take it on my travel laptop Got it from this guy at fiver.com for $5 link excellent service, think I got it within 48 hours of ordering. Most helpful too can well recomend..

Someone wanted to know the difference between the k-5 compared to other bodies in the Pentax range. For me the k-5 fast frame rate is an absolute clincher. I shoot mainly music & for most concert photographers the jump shot is probably considered the bench mark.

During a festival assignment shooting approx 20 -30 acts I would be lucky to catch one jump shot with my GX20. With the K-5 I nail everyone, spot on focus, very sharp, no blur due to the high ISO capability. These are all from last weekend...

I am sure this will not auto focus with HSM lenses. I bought one for use on my 50-135mm & it didn't work, unless it was faulty???

The Pete Doherty shot was the hardest of all. Red led lighting smoke and no front lighting with my gx20 I couldn't get anything at all worth keeping. So was pleased to get something from that shoot....
