If I go out with a film camera I usually just take a 40mm or 50mm...

I've been fairly happy just shooting FA50 on my K-x before although more recently I've been swithing a lot between FA35 and the wide end of the Tamron 17-50...

DA21 may have to be added to the collective...

I went for a bit today... Very busy... Did a lot of shooting from the hip...

Saw a fair few Pentax cameras too... Guy with what looked like 2 k5/K7's a girl with a K-x/K-r and a very nice lady with an MZ50 and a Canon film camera too...

If I'm not driving to Durham to pick up a holiday I may well head over for this!

Until Monday all we really know is that the K30 is likely to be a fair bit better (both in terms of IQ and ergonomics) than the K-r but not quite as good as the K5...

For those seeking to upgrade from K-x (or older) but not quite having the finances for the K5 it's a pretty good move on Pentax's part...

I'm interested...

How does AF-speed and tracking compare on the K-x to K5?

I'd planned on an upgrade this year (passing the K-x to my other half)

Although that said, the K30 is looking like more of an upgrade option than a K5 and if Pentax do announce a FF I'll just hold back another year and save like blazes!

I'd like more views on flickr... Feedback would be good too...

I know the answer is to add to more groups but with the sheer amount of groups on there I stuggle to work out which ones are worth posting to and which aren't...

I usually post to Pentax-related groups but quite often get more response on this forum, although that too is sporadic...

Any tips or flickr-groups I should pay attention to?

Or even a poor pentax user who gets a ricoh-pin-k-mount lens stuck!

C'mon Dave, even I spotted that from my first look at the sellers ebay account
Perhaps the seller intends to donate a percentage of the proceeds to the forum
Alan, I know very little about ebay and ceratinly did not check out the sale and the ebay account until well into this thread. The cheek was putting the final advert in.
And I was just a bit bored and chewing fat
