What it says in practice, is they can do whatever they want as long as they claim terrorism.

Planning to go there myself tonight with some friends.

Not the proper sections...

I'm am always forgetting to turn off SR and then turn it back on again...

Yes prieni, but on the other hand, you cant just feel like it and go do a fashion shoot. You always need planning either way.

Hey, at least Pentax supplies one for their lenses, some brands I could name don't even do that.

I've wondered that myself...
Its understandable for the case of the FA*, since they would be the top of the range, they'd want to redo them with SDM and WR, which naturally requires some more work. But other FA lenses... or maybe the tele-zoom... Just mask the outside, since the research for the insides is done.
Pentax could have come out very strong with a wider range by basically keeping FAs on the market for longer.

Sigma 28-70mm F2.8-4

Here are some pics from this lens:







You can find them bigger here.

Poor ISO performance is poor ISO performance.
I've used 400 ISO film and like the results I get for SOME pictures.
Film grain is not the same as electronic noise. Although I will concede that cases (rarer than for film) were it can work.
I still prefer having the detail than losing it everytime. The default NR in Canon and Nikon can loose too much detail depending on the model and settings. But Pentax is the same if you apply NR.
What I'm saying is to work to avoid noise altogether. You can put it in later. And btw, they should work on getting filters to reproduce grain not noise.
The fact that RAW is as good or better in Pentax, just shows what a good camera it is. The poor results in JPEG, just show how software is failing in Pentax. Because RAW is good, does not mean than that you can forego good jpeg.

My issues with noise are not from printing, its from looking at the screen (not pixel peeping), its not from expanding either. A tiny image can still look like garbage.

IMO...
