Another vote for the Sigma. I have one. I don't use it often, but when I do it is a joy.

Canon have also had sensor problems in the past. Shit happens. It's just a shame its happening to K-5 owners this time.
I am content to wait and see what Pentax say to SRS.
I can still use the camera meanwhile, after all. It's not that the sensor has packed up completely.

Reminds me of the bottles we used to get school milk in.

Nobody even noticed the fault until it was pointed out, so it could hardly be described as critical.
And the longer they use the camera, the more owners will demonstrate that the fault is of little consequence.
So, action needs to be taken sooner rather than later.
If I were an owner, I think I would register that fault with the shop, demand a replacement, but say that I would keep the faulty camera until the replacement became available.

Well Chris is aware of the problem as I said. He is waiting to hear from Pentax. Not a lot he can do on a Sunday is there? I was amazed he responded so quickly to be honest. The man is a star. I am sure he will come up with a satisfactory solution, together with Pentax.Nobody even noticed the fault until it was pointed out, so it could hardly be described as critical.

We just have to wait and see what happens.
Oh and George - nothing wrong with crusty - provided it doesn't have a dog on a string
Tony, I hope the lack of appetite was due to the effort of cooking the food (which looks very tasty btw), and not due to your illness. Got to keep your strength up!

I know that George. That is the problem - I was just pointing out to John that, at least in my case, I had cleaned the sensor to be certain it wasn't just dust.Gwyn wrote:
John - I cleaned my sensor after the first attempt showed spots. The spots were in exactly the same place after cleaning. I tried different lenses too.
I'm sure others have done the same.
Yes, but the dirt (if it is dirt) could be between the Bayer filter (which is what you cleaned) and the sensor. If so, it's not a user fix.John - I cleaned my sensor after the first attempt showed spots. The spots were in exactly the same place after cleaning. I tried different lenses too.

Anyway I shall wait to hear what Chris has to say before fretting too much.
Road_Dancer - you don't have to use the organiser in PSE. It's quite possible to open your photos straight into the editor. You are missing out on a good resource however by not using it imho.
Andrew I love your last shot. Learning to develop RAW takes a while but is (usually) worth it.

Simon, I have both the 17-70 and the 60-250. The 60-250 is far superior to the 17-70 imho.
