sell the k10 & k-x get a k-7 exactlu same body as k-5 so you have that familiarity.

Comment by cabstar posted on K5 / KX / K10 which 2 would you keep and why? at 01/03/2011 - 12:02

to be fair he does say that in the review. think the idea was to compare the highest cost dslr against the lowest cost mf digital body.

its an interesting comparison & gary wolstenholme certainly knows his stuff, good photographer too...

Thats a mass of lenses & a lot of duplicate lengths.

I would keep

samsung 10-17mm
tamron 90mm
One of the Sigma 400mm myself the the AF regardles of APO
Pentax 1.7x af

sell the rest & buy

Tamron 70-200mm
Tamron 17-50mm

Then maybe save up for

Pentax DA 300mm

I would agree with Mike the 50-135mm is slow on bodies up to the k20d. However I have tested it on my K-R & there is a more noticeable improvement, seems to lock on quicker, I don't think it rotates faster just locks on quicker.

But the IQ of the 50-135mm is superb & pleased i bought mine...

123mm at f/2.8 the so called soft end

Invest in quality glass, it makes all the difference...

Got to have a play with mine yesterday for the first time & love how responsive it is... Compared to my GX20's it's like a little pocket rocket...

Having recently bought a K-R & tested a K-5 in the shop i am certainly looking to upgrade. The response & speed of the K-5 & K-R are superb. As much as I love my GX20 I think the time is now nearly near to upgrade...

How low light is it when the Tamron hunts, mine very rarely hunts on the GX20 except in really really low light where any of my lenses are likely to hunt...

Have just tested it on the k-r & wow the difference in focus speed is totally at another level...

Just been toying with mine which I received today, boy is that thing fast, both focus & shooting mode...

Comment by cabstar posted on K-r price beginning to drop... at 26/02/2011 - 02:24

They where just a varied few from my library to show how versatile the lens is. I am surprised though that someone preferred the Tamron over the Pentax, that is one of my next 2 purchases...
