Does anyone know if any other FF DSLR will do this, or is it yet another Pentax First?

When the new Full frame camera comes out some of the current DA lenses will not give full sensor coverage - all the older film lenses should be OK.
.......but if the rumours are true the FF camera will be able to crop the image so DA lenses can be used

They're Dutch Daffodils Gwyn, they have to be hard to compete with the Tulips

The backgrounds not that bad, nicely out of focus at least.

Personally I'd crop off a lot of the right hand side, close up to her hair, then cloning out that annoying highlight would be easy.

EDIT: should also add that I find it difficult to shoot portraits at f2.8, you have to get the focus bang on the eyes or else.

What about downloading with the i-pad then transfer to the PC via USB cable or USB stick?

The option of a grip is another consideration ... am I right to think that neither the K-S1, K-S2 or K50 has a grip option? K5II and K3 of course do.
None of the current entry level models will take a grip, I recently had an insurance claim for my K10D which they wanted to replace with the K50, despite the much better spec of the K50 I declined their offer and stuck out for the K3 simply for that reason.

I stopped buying PhotoMags a long long time ago, two main reasons were the canikon bias and reviews plus the simple fact they rehashed the same basic articles year after year, what gear to take on your holidays or how to shoot autumn, or how to shoot snow etc etc etc

I like the B&Ws, best thing you can do for an image when the lights poor. The last two stand out way ahead of the others.

You can easily tell it's not Goth weekend, there isn't a group of Pentax Users taking over the top floor of Marie Antoinettes
