Personally I don't think it should matter as it's just as likely someone can take an award winning photo on a k-5 as they can on a D800.
Smeggy, in general terms I agree with you, a great photographer will take an award winning photo with almost anything.

But in real life it depends on your application, I believe. So if you are in sports photography or in landscape photography you might be interested in different cameras.

If I didn't already have one, I'd buy at this price. Yes it's a compromise but a pretty decent one and I think the images are rather better than the reviews. And a WR lens covering this range make a lot of sense with WR bodies unless you're heading to DA* territory.
Agree in full. And focusing is very fast, in addition to silent.

Matty,

The lens is highly regarded and works very well with digital, are you sure you want to sell it?

How about the 50 1.7 with extension tubes if you are happy with manual?

Maybe jealousy over your latest lens acquisition?

This poll reminds me of discussion about the K20D. Many of us claimed we would not upgrade as it was already so good..... Then came the K-5 that was the ultimate camera!
... Then came the K-5ii

I cannot see many on this forum not buying/wanting a Pentax FF when/if is released.

Congratulations.....fantastic lens!

This is just the start..... Now you need a new tripod and gimbal head!

You could consider the Jupiter-9 MC 85mm f/2 lens, it is considered very good for portrait. It is an M42 lens, but with an adapter would work perfectly on the P30 (and any DSRL as well)
