You`ve outspent me Congrats on your new purchases.....enjoy.

Yes digital is the default setting for dof preview Alan.

I think the manual may find a place in my camera bag for the time being as the K5 is just a tad more complicated than the GX10

If you have a nice Sigma 120-400 you want to get rid of just send me a pm

Thanks for that Alan sussed it now

Either you carry that manual around with you Alan or you know it off by heart

Thanks for the fast reply I`ll do some more studying.

Now the battery is fully charged I`m having a play around with with the K5.

I have sussed most basic things up to now but I cant find how to get the depth of field preview to show in the viewfinder!. any pointers would be most appreciated.

I`ve lost count of the number of times I`ve cursed myself for not taking one with me so I`ll go with that as well.

And more importantly to give up the dreaded weed for once and for all.

I`m not parting with the GX10 either John its served me well over the years and we have.... well sort of become attached.

My K5 has arrived so I`m just waiting for the battery to charge and thumbing through the hand book, Must say the grip makes a big difference to the camera ergonomically and fits into my big hands just fine.

You wont be disappointed Howard and you should notice a difference when using your 150-500!.....enjoy I did mean John941 be he has beat me to replying.

Did you recommend Prune juice to them Howard it works well

Congratulation on your new purchase, now the three of us can have a K5 owners club meet and a good chin wag over a brew (come on JW you are the odd one out now:wink.

Howard, have you tried downloading the cash-back form from the Pentax site?. I`m just sat in the house waiting for delivery of mine, wish they would hurry up I`m running out of finger nails

No Howard I carry poop bags for our dog. The last one is Moss on an old concrete post

Thanks for the comments .
