Good luck to you.

Perhaps when you get settled in with your new gear, you might consider giving us your comparative opinion of both systems and whether or not you feel you made the right decision to jump ship.

As intimated above, can't go wrong with either. I have the K1 & K3 III and both are superb. As to which you should buy though, that's difficult. Perhaps you could hire them first, play around and then make a decision.

Personally, I'd buy both of them whilst they are still available. That way, there's no beating oneself up thinking should've bought the other one instead. Job sorted!

Good luck.

Lovely example photo's. I'd very much like to have a play arpund with IR but I don't have enough time as it is to play with what I've got...

'Tis a shame you feel the need to part with it but good luck with your sale.

Yep lovely image indeed but I'm just as impressed with the very specific 4% calculation... lol...

Welcome Oldaker and that's a beautiful image with vibrant saturated colour yet not so saturated as to look overcooked or blousy. It perfectly illustrates that an older camera and so called kit lens are just as capable of producing stunning sharp images as any modern cameras - (IMHO of course). As I have stated previously, the CCD sensor is a real sun worshipper.

All of the above.

Yep - definitely underpriced...

Beautiful vintage lens and a collectors item for sure. I'm lucky enough to own an immaculate copy of one of these very sought after and increasingly hard to find gems, especially a copy in good condition.

Good luck with your sale, though why would you want to part with such a gem? You don't have to answer that of course because it's none of my business - just thinking out loud... lol...

As has been stated above, clean dry (moist free) air is the key to safe storage of lenses and preferably dust free as well. The issue for most people is can they provide a truly moisture free storage solution in their homes 365 days per year. Not easy for most people in he average household I suspect. Fluctuating temperatures pose another potential threat. This is where having a dry cabinet is a definite advantage.

I currently have four dry cabinets and glad that I do. Yes they can be expensive but considering the cost of one's investment in lenses, you have to ask yourself - are they worth it? In my opinion - yes! No one wants fungus in there lenses for obvious reasons and not least that it may drastically effect their value.

If you own only a handful of lenses then maybe a dry cabinet is overkill depending on your circumstances and environment. If on the other hand you have as I do an extensive collection of lenses and some very expensive at that, then a dry cabinet/s is highly recommended. (I wish I had more of them).

To answer the OP's question, I think names aside, most of the dry cabinets available on ebay probably emanate from the same factory in China. (I'm guessing) and so are much the same. I have come across some industrial ones but they are prohibitively expensive. For anyone thinking of investing in one, I would recommend starting with at least a 100ltr option but shop around for the best deal. I feel pretty sure that the neck of the woods that you inhabit Gibis might call for an industrial job, especially in the monsoon season, so good luck.

Just my thoughts!

Now that's super impressive. A wow.wow,wow x 4.65 crop factor.

Well done.
