Newbie here.

Just got my K5. The manufacture date is Nov 2010 with a serial number beginning 395 and firmware 1.01


Someone else mentioned I should have a low threshold fr returning the camera and it is an "older" model with possible stain sensor.

Can anyone put my mind to peace please.

Hello, I wonder if anyone could help me decide whether to keep the bundled 18-55 WR lens or get the Sigma 17-50 EX

I am new to Pentax, coming from an unloved Nikon D5000 + Sigma 17-70 OS HSM. I am afraid I am a pixel peeper and was one of the reason I got rid of the Nikon. But mostly I hated the ergonomics of the Nikon


I have ordered the K5 with the kit lens (as it seemed better value with a free bag) and a DA 70mm f2.4.

How much better is the Sigma and how well does it balance on the K5. I love nice bokehs and would do a fair bit of close photography.

Thanks


NB I should receive my kit today from Warehouse Express
