Well as Lightroom 5.4 has iPad ability and is only available through subscription I'm guessing buying Lightroom will no longer be available anymore and 5.3 will be last standalone to purchase.

To be honest you only need to know the develop and library modules. Everything else is superfluous unless you upload to your own website or create books.

Lightroom is really intuitive to use. Only thing to be aware is if you want to use the ipad app then you will need to subscribe to the package for £8ish rendering your £44 spent.

why not try the month free trial first?

Hmm does Lightroom 4 support k-5 mkiis? I would check that first my memory is a little hazy.

Only difference will be the time to transfer. Card in a USB 3.0 slot could and generally is quicker than cable direct gem camera. Does depend on camera, memory card read speed, card reader, USB type slot and finally computer.

No bacon? Sacrilege is that!!!

Great shots, love the mini shot.

The true test of any company is how it handles problems, that's when you find their true colours.

I was looking for a lens hood for my sigma 100-300mm which sigma no longer supply. A Google searched show micro globe where listing them with the chance to make a best offer. I made an offer and they counter offered saying my offer was below their purchase price. I accepted the counter offer and paid. Received confirmation of the order then nothing for over a week so emailed them for an update.

They replied saying sigma no longer stocked them, they refunded my money and removed it from the site. Pretty rubbish really as I assumed having had a counter offer made they had them in stock and the lack of communication was pretty poor too, I wouldn't deal with them again.

These are really good like you say for having a dabble. I got some great results using one of these

No I am referring to zooms Pentax already have plenty of primes for full frame in their line up already. I can imagine Pentax rebadging one of the tokina ultra wides as they did with the 50-135 and make them slightly better with their coatings and tweaks.

I use a 19-35mm on ff and that is wide, so any zoom under 19mm would be considered ultra wide.
