FA* 28-70/2.8 ..... and because I know if I sold it Pentax would announce their full-frame dslr the next day
Ah, so now we know why Pentax are procrastinating on FF.

Do us all a favour and sell it

Thank you.
Imagine how good a DA* HD 24-70mm 2.8 would be though

Yup I paid £100 for my 16gb eyefi card and had to import it from America and pay extra duty on top, they're not cheap items.

Canon are more likely to sue nikon as canon have more patents than any other camera maker and are third in the 2013 list of all companies to file patents.

Just read the judgement and nikon must be gutted with that result. They seemed $114 million.

I don't think it will be long until all DSLR have built in wifi and maybe even sim card capability, the DSLR market is losing out to camera phones exactly because of the ability to post images directly to face boo, instagram twitter etc. Thats the future of DSLR technology in the short term I feel...

Always going to retrieve more detail in the newer K bodies than the old k-10 which doesn't have the dynamic range of the newer bodies...
