Now that almost all of your Pentax kit is sold, would you share with us your reasons for switching to Olympus?

It seems a strange move considering your recent heavy investment in Pentax kit.
Peter, you have a PM

I would recommend the grip with the 60-250 and actually the 16-50 too, feels better balanced that way.

Cameras though ... who needs them.
I just got a mental picture of Mike-P attachng a plethora of different brand lenses to the front of a shoe box come pinhole camera, explaining to onlookers "ah this is the Hush Puppies Mk2, with the right adaptor it will take every lens ever made.......err, I mean my collection"
Excellent

With all due respect to Mike, the lord and master of lens collections

Greytop, I have sent you a message, I find it slightly stange that you are selling all of your Pentax gear (none of my business of course) but are you defecting to another maker ???
Steve, I've replied to your PM, defecting is a strong word
Actually as I said in my message I hold Pentax in high regard although the pull of another brands zooms has become a little too strong to resist

Sorry to step in Steve, my advice would be to go and handle one, even borrow one if you can.
It is a fair bit smaller than a K20D and definitely more solidly built, not that the K20D lacks in that area.
To me it just feels like a step up and in operation it is much slicker than the K20D, difficult to put your finger on it but it feels more reactive to user inputs. It is a lovely tool to use and I say this having really liked my K20D before it

it is without doubt the best camera body I have been fortunate to own and I had the K20D before it.

You still here?
