I'd guess the DA is considerably lighter... Does it feel more fragile?

I believe the custom option you're referring to is using the built-in flash to trigger an external flash in control mode (option 2) as opposed to master mode (option 1). Using option 2 the built-in flash fires to trigger the external flash, but is timed to go off before the shutter curtain opens so it has no effect on your exposure. It works perfectly well on the K-5 and K-5 II. I use it often when I can't be bothered setting up the Cactus v5 radio triggers.

Do i buy one of the above...OR do i just keep on saving for the Holy Grail (50-135 DA*)?
My advice would be to buy the most expensive first and then the others on your hitlist will at least 'seem' more attainable...
LBA is made worse by the compromises we make in the pursuit of the perfect 'kit' ... We compromise by buying better lenses than we have but we never seem to have enough for the best there is...
Only when our 'kit' is the best it can be can any faults in our photography be truly put down to our own inadequacy's as photographers; cos if we had that FA31/77 (or in your case DA*50-135) 'that picture' would have been truly magical...

I always use a CISS on my printers, once setup the print colour and quality is as good, if not better than, original ink. Its cuts the cost of ink down to a level where I just don't think about it, I buy the ink when I see a tank running low and just top up as and when needed. Buying ink by the 500ml saves money for fun

My son Adam is studying Fine Art at Sheffield Hallam. I bought him a working, mint Weston Master V from Rocky Cameras for £8 recently as he's using a film camera as part of a project.

Sun still shining here, and it is a cost +1C.
Sad day yesterday. My son had his beautiful Samoyed Duque put down..
