Another vote for the DA 10-17, just added one to the gallery shot the other day,

Whilst you don't get the effects of an F2.8 lens or smaller, the light gathering of this lens more than makes up for it imho

Second vote for the L308s, to trigger the lights I just have the transmitter trigger in my hand and do it manually.

Not used a KR, but I can vouch that the K5iis is a superb piece of kit, I use one with a Sigi 100-300 F4 attached and the standard K5 with a Sigi 70 - 200 F2.8.

IMO, that way the iis is better with the F4 as the ISO can be ramped up a lot more if necessary and the std K5 is great with the 2.8 allowing a decent shutter speed / aperture combo

It may be the way your posing her, there is a Liquify tool in PS that can be used, you can also change to a slightly lower shooting angle that can elongate legs etc

Does the histogram update when using Live View with the K-5 in manual mode?

I know exactly what you mean, I've an X100s where it does update in live view and is really useful when trying to either underexpose or overexpose in camera and see the result.

Used it loads of times in some low light portrait, nude. glamour work

I use an Artic Butterfly, easy to use, a dry clean and have found one of benefits is less cleaning is needed, prob clean the sensor twice a year.

I'm fortunate to have both Sigma's and they are outstanding, plus focus speed is really good on a K5ii

I save the RAW as a Tiff, do the necessary tweaks and save. Jpegs can be produced from the Tiff as required.

Talking to a friend the other day he said he backed his pictures up onto a netbook at the end of each day during a weeks holiday.

I've done this for a while now, a good way to use a device that has little or no s/h value, but can still be pressed into good use.

It's only got Picasa installed, which allows a quick preview of what's been shot,
