As my right eye is dominant using a right handed camera feels just natural.

If it's weight , rather than size, why go all the way down to a P & S ? I am finding I oft get a little weary , as well as achey, carrying my Pentax kit and 2-3 lenses. So I have found myself using my Canon 500D and kit lens more than I had and it's sooooo much lighter.
The rugged build of Pentax is an upside but does seem to bring with it the downside of weight. I don't think Pentax have had a light weight SLR in recent years ?
My K30 is pretty light but doesn't feel cheap and nasty like some other makes - I'm sure the K50, KS-1, KS-2 etc are just has light weight.If it's weight , rather than size, why go all the way down to a P & S ?

My K30 with DA 21mm makes a light compact system!

I agree - I like the 1st shot too. And to me the 3rd shot is just a snapshot of a statue.the second shot s just a picture of a statue, the first tells you something about mankind's connection with the oceans.

Nice shots and great colours Peter - just shows film use by dates have quite a bit of latitude!

I love my 16-45 and 18-135 - this seems like a good compromise between the two!

why should Sigma pander to our needs?
But I think I will stick with my Pentax made ones.
