Well...

My K5 arrived this morning... It feels a bit luxurious (not that the K-x build quallity is bad... It isn't!) in comparrison to the K-x...

Only had a chance to take a couple of 'snaps' as yet but it appears to give a fair bit more in terms of detail...

My only gripes as yet are down to me, not knowing the camera layout (keep hitting the ISO button instead of the Green and the 'right-arrow' doesn't change the ISO anymore...) or menu system...

In the gallery tomorrow and doing more 'Leap' pictures with Yan Wang - This time with members of the public/students; so should get a proper workout then...

Only have one battery at the moment though... How long do these things last?
A spare battery and a D-BG4 (or chinese copy) are on my wishlist but at the moment I'm totally brassic!!

It's like a 'nudge'... Keeps the thread awake, pushing it upwards ('recent' on the Forum Button)

28's generally make good landscape lenses on apsc... The lack of distortion makes them good to stitch multiple exposures together to when not considered wide enough... No experience with either of your listed lenses though...
Buy both and sell on the one you don't keep?

Anybody here got Licentiateship from the Royal Photographic Society?

I'm interested in finding out about the process (not necessarily doing it) and did not glean much from the handbook...

If it's owt like 'Brown' then it tastes of p**s.

If you want a upgraded zoom in the same range as the kit lens it almost has to be thr Tamron 17-50mm 2.8...

Only reason I sold mine is that I prefer primes, and wanted a K5...

Cracking lens

So there is no 3rd party grip built to the same quality? WR etc?

Vertical shooting is something I do a fair bit of... Wish they just made dslr's with both horizontal AND vertical grips, with shutter buttons and control dials on each!!

Question one: will this be weatherproofed as the genuine Pentax product is? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/B020-Battery-grip-for-PENTAX-K-7-K7-D-SLR-D-BG4-DBG4-/...

Intend to!

Yan Wang's 'Leap' project is going 'public' on tuesday - inviting people to jump about in the gallery for pictures...

Because mine should arrive on Monday

Used at a decent price with 1 year warranty via SRS

My K-x is sold to a friend and I no longer have a comicbook collection...

Will need a 18-55 WR kit at some point but the 50-200 will suffice at a 'wet-weather' kit for now
