Can you access the other forum today?
I get a Parallels Plesk panel default page instead of the forum.
Any ideas?

I take better pictures with the K-5 than I did with the K20D. I never got on with the K20D and was frequently very disappointed in the photos it produced. It got to the point of me just not taking photos.
With the K-5 I am back to mostly acceptable, occasionally good, photos, and no need for ages spent on PP to try and save them.
I can quite understand that Thoramay has a problem with the K20D. Exactly what is very hard to explain though.

Sadly SRS don't have a K-5 to rent yet or I'd suggest you tried that for a couple of days and see if it convinces you.
All I can say is I am so much happier with the K-5 than I ever was with the K20D. The expenditure was a shock to the system, but definitely worth it.

Not Pentax, but look up Yaktrax overshoes. They're like snow chains for your feet, fold into a pocket for when you reach the cleared areas (they're lethal on smooth surfaces as there's nothing for them to dig into and grip) and can be put back on in seconds. Yet to try mine on snow but I've got them ready!
I have these which are similar.Not Pentax, but look up Yaktrax overshoes.

They were real life savers last winter when the woods turned into an ice-rink.

This thread is developing a point again.
Bad day today. Feeling very low, so a Chinese take-away tonight.
Tomorrow I must get a new battery for my car before winter arrives on Wednesday. Snow forecast .

Pentax user and blogger Yvon Bourque has a good set of charts.
Odd thing to do on your hols, but each to his own.
As long as you end up using the stack of lenses you are taking with you, for more than just adjusting the camera.

Now the DNG files are a similar size to PEFs there seems little reason to switch.
When in-camera DNGs were so huge there was a good reason to shoot PEFS.
That said, if and when compatibility comes I'll probably give the PEFs a go .

Pentax manual:
Quote:
The shake reduction may not fully reduce camera shake when taking close up shots. In this case, it is recommended to turn of Shake reduction and use the camera with a tripod.
The Shake Reduction Function will not fully work when shooting with a very low shutter speed, for example when panning or shooting night scenes. In this case, it is recommended to turn of Shake Reduction and use the camera with a tripod.
