Oh I'm sure they will fix it, it's pretty easy to reproduce! Just a question of when.
3 months, max, I hope - I haven't got a K5 yet, but I'm hoping it won't be too much more than three months.

Most of my flash photography is off-camera wireless P-TTL - I have two Samsung 540s, which I stick on convenient shelves at parties and other social get-togethers, and bounce off the ceiling, using the built-in to fire them.

I had a mate a few years back. Backed up from HDD to another every night as his sole backup.

Computer caught fire one day, melted both the drives, lost everything.

24TB of RAID in one cabinet?

Well, the APS-C Pentax equivalent of 24-70 on 35mm would be the DA 16-45 F4, or the DA* 16-50 F2.8.

Do you really want something that overlaps so much with the 18-135 range?

The DA 12-24 (or the much less expensive Sigma 10-20) might be a more useful range.

I think its working better with the upped saturisation.
Enough of the invented words, already!

It's saturation!

From 'saturate'. Not 'saturise'

You may be pleased to hear that I was fooling around last week with the K5 and tested my K50/1.2 using green button metering at various stops from 1.2 up to 22 and it was exposing accurately at all apertures.
Typical... I've sold all my pre-A lenses now

If you have any A-series lenses, could you repeat the test with one of them, and verify that the shutter speed it chooses when stopped-down at apertures set with the aperture ring, is the same as the one it chooses in A-mode at the corresponding body-set aperture when metering wide open?

If they've really fixed that, it's excellent news.

Nice shot. A litte over-sharpened, perhaps.

There's another one like that, with a clue along the lines of...

"Half the alphabet, but still tiny."

Or something... I can't really remember it. It's not much harder than the OP's one.
