The K-5 sounds nice and would be an option if it was about £300 cheaper.
I will look into the K-r and the K10D.
Budget is between £300 - £400.

One thing I always did was ask for proof-prints first to show the client, then have final prints done of the ones that the happy couple wanted in the album.
I never had any complaints. Except when somebody wanted their baby "blown up"! quote "it's a nice picture but can you blow him up a bit?"

I had CS2 from him, which was an upgrade, and upgraded from PS7 to CS2. But I think PS7 to CS4 is too big a jump

At what point do you progress from the new member tag?
Is it by the number of posts or the number of pics in your portfolio or just length of time as a member?
Not complaining as I've only been a member for 5 minutes, just curious.

There should be two aperture rings. One is used to "preset" the aperture, the other one is used to actually stop the lens down to that aperture.
In use, you would set the aperture ring to the shooting aperture (lets say f, which, with old viewfinders, could make for a very dim focusing screen.
So, you would open the lens up with the second ring, focus and then turn it until it stops, which would put you at the preset aperture for shooting.
It was a way of allowing for fast aperture setting without having to count clicks.
Which confirms what montyaus said. BTW where the smiley face is should be f8
