It doesn't seem to appear even for Pentax lenses. The focal length used does, but not the lens itself, unless this is something I am doing that is different to others?

I've actually seen quite a few in recent times, including a very young lady (18-ish) with a blue K-x in London, a man with a K-5 at Clumber Park, and another man in London who although he didn't have a K-5, he knew all about them and commented on what a great camera it is.

It's somethng you need to get used to with digital cameras and it not really a cause for concern. There are any number of ways you can clean dust off the sensor, including all those mentioned above. I would be very surprised if it doesn't happen again - don't be too worried about it as it is easy to clean off without damaging the sensor.

The K2000 is emphatically not the same camera as a K-r! It is however the same as a K-m, which was the entry level DSLR prior to introduction of the K-x and is rather far removed from a K-r. For starters, it does not have live view, it is 10.2 megapixels not 12.3, it has a CCD sensor, not a CMOS, it has much lower resolution on the rear screen, it is far slower to respond, it has a lower continuous shooting rate, it's not very good in poor light / high ISO (noisy). Despite all of this it's a rather fine camera and takes superb images in good light, but it cannot be compared to a K-r in any way other than it has 'Pentax' written on the front.

Great shot, excellent fine detail in the feathers and exposure is spot-on.

Hello Matt, welcome to the forum and the website in general. I also have a K-x and can confirm it's a superb camera.

Best wishes

Why restrict it to the younger generation Owen? You might learn more from some of us old 'uns and some of are almost cool

Cheers

The colour is definitely off, not sure if this is a WB issue or something else, but the image is very appealing.
