V1.03 is the one I'm on...

The UK Pentax site also has firmware listed for the K5 Limited Silver but I don't know what thats about (as I had assumed the silver body had the same camera inside?)

Option B - 15-55 WR and the 55-300... Cracking starter kit and best budget kit for a safari type trip imo...

Would second (budget permitting) the addition of a 100mm (1:1) macro lens... If possible... but option B is a good start kit.

I haven't really checked since moving to the K5... My lenses appear to be sharp and I'm a little nervous of fiddling round and making a hash of it to be honest...

There seems to be countless threads on the other forum about the possible moire effect on the mk2s...

In an everyday/real life shooting situation how much of an issue is this really going to be?

Are the 'must-haves' just freaking out over now't?

Did you use a modifier?
Thanks David.
sorry no idea what a modifier is?
Umbrella, softbox, beauty-dish, even a stoffen all count as modifiers.

I've never submitted to PPG... I just figured my images would not be up to scratch... Thought it was supposed to be the best images from the best Pentax photographers - for a while I thought it was by invitation only...

Comment by DaveHolmes posted on PPG... how does it work? at 20/10/2012 - 00:49

I asked if those whose images were used were normally added to the contributors list and was told no... This despite there being names on that list of photographers I know whose images were used in the same section as mine...
I won't be submitting any more to them unless I'm certain of gaining credit

Pretty much yeah.

It's part of a pull-out - Know some of the other photographers on the page and their names are on page one... Mine just isn't.

Some of my images have been published in a local cultural magazine... I know the guys who run it... My name has not appeared on the front page list for contributors... Bit miffed...
