We've got eight inches or more here and it's still snowing.

Nice shot Glyn, I suspect we may see a glut of these from this area given the weather tonight
Here is one I took about an hour or so ago (still snowing!). Again the K-7 with 16-50 @ 34mm, f/8, 4 second exposure (tripod mounted of course).

WELCOME! SO!? WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO SHOOT WITH A REAL CAMERA?
I can say from experience that it's pretty similar to shooting with an Oly WELCOME! SO!? WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO SHOOT WITH A REAL CAMERA?
You have the same balancing act, similar controls and nice handling. It's just that each manufacturer has different strengths and weaknesses
Oly make a solid product, just like Pentax do.

I'll look out for the 12-24, how does the Samsung perform? Is it the same lens as the Pentax?

Hi thanks for the replies! I changed to the K7 mainly because the Oly suffered from noise above ISO 200. I'd been waiting for them to bring out a weather sealed E3 upgrade but got tired of waiting. I loved the Olympus, got some great pics with it, but the weather sealing and noise issues persuaded me to get the K7. I do a lot of travelling and wanted a more robust camera.
As far as wide-angles are concerned, I'd like to go as wide as possible without going fisheye. Also without breaking the bank! I'd be happy if I could trade my 4/3 Sigma for a Pentax mount one.
Pretty much the same reasons as me then although I must admit I wasn't interested in the E-3 or a similar sized up grade (too large for me at least). I'm sure you will be happy with the K-7, it's robust, versatile and capable of excellent images.... a great camera Hi thanks for the replies!

With regard to wide you could always keep an eye out for a second hand 12-24 in Pentax or Samsung guise.
Another perhaps short term approach is go for something like the 16-45 as Jon suggests and stitch images together using Microsoft ICE or Hugin. Both are free and work very well
Edit: Here is an example of three images (taken with my 16-50) stitched together with ICE

Hi Jon, welcome to the forum. So you're another ex Olympus user
I had a E-510, 12-60 SWD & 50-200 SWD and 50 F2 before moving to a K20D and now the K-7. I still like Oly, in particular their zooms which are quite frankly hard to beat.
I jumped ship because I was hoping the E-30 would be weather sealed but unfortunately it was not to be. I ran both systems for a while and in the end found I was using Pentax more so sadly decided to sell my Oly gear.
Any particular reason why you migrated?

What a fantastic image Kris, the more you look the more there is to see. I keep coming back to have a look
