I think if you post a few pictures taken with the lens Stuey might give in...

Canon 5D light leak
Nikon D600 dust issue
Nikon D800 left focusing problem
Witek, I hope your problem will be solved quickly....

First of all welcome to Stefano, great to have you here.
In any case, welcome. Sorry to hear about your problem, why don't you have it serviced under warranty? Cameras are like any other electronic equipment, and there can be problems, the important thing is that they get addressed quickly!
But I do not think that full frame (or another brand for that matter) would have necessarily helped based on what happened recently:
Nikon D800 left focusing problem
Nikon D600 dust/oil spot issue
5D iii Light leak problem
As far as I know all recognised by the manufacturers.... So it can happen with any camera and brand.

Hi, my name is Witek and I just stopped to like the pentax.
I bought my Pentax k5 IIs something about 4 months ago and now I am really disappointed. I am not professional photographer but I love to take photos so it was very important for me to buy some good photo camera. Moments in life will not repeated. I was using different photo cameras, among others Pentax Optio MX4, Sony Alpha 300, Nikon 5100 and now I was thinking about full frame but, after reading a lot of good comments, I decided on K5 IIS and after 4 months it started to take wrong photos. Some of photos are like split on half horizontally, half photo is ok, half has wrong pink/violet colour, sometimes just horizontal line is seen in the middle of photo. This is the first photo camera which is behaving in this way for me. The newest, the best. How can you believe in the reliability? The best was to buy new one and go on holiday, or on the important party. I just want to say be very carefully when you decide to buy this one.

Hi there,
are you asking the same price here and on eBay?

I really like your pictures on PPG, they would be there in any case!

Well, that certainly applies to me, hence my question.... I gave up submitting photos to the PPG sometime last year .. they accepted everything I uploaded and I'm certainly not THAT good

Hi,
I have posted 2 batches of photos in the Pentax Photo Gallery over the past weeks and they all got accepted, and all in the same batch at the same time. In the past it used to be so that different photos were accepted, or rejected, at different times, I guess depending on votes received.
The fact that they are all accepted at the same time (and indeed that they are all accepted) would indicate that the process has changed and it is easier than before.
Any clues?

Darkskies,
I noticed my post was not really answering your question, my intention was to contribute to the original thread's title, calling for picture with primes 30-35 mm.....
So to your question: I have had the 35 2.0 for a short while before finding a very attractively priced (and never used) 31mm. I really liked the lens and the quality was outstanding. But I understood that the DA 35 2.4 shares the same design as the FA 35 2.0, and it is very reasonably priced. Used prices for the FA 35 seem to have increased recently.

I do not understand either. Is this data form the file you exported and then tried to load to PPG?
