Hi guys, after seeing the bargain offer on Amazon for a K5 II and kit lens for under £500 I think it's finally time to upgrade from my trusty K10d.

Just a few Q's.

I am a "travel photographer" more or less. I rarely use my camera unless I am going away for a weekend or more. So I probably only use my K10d a handful of times a year, but when I do use it, I use it a lot. Having just gotten back from 3 weeks in South Africa, and buying a flat at the moment, I doubt very much there will be much cash left for any trips till the end of 2014. Is it worth buying the K5 II now at this great price, knowing it may not get a huge amount of use, or sticking with the K10d until later in the year? - do Pentax have anything in the pipeline after the K3?

Did Pentax ever offer focus-peaking on the K5 II? I have a quite a few manual lenses and this could be useful!

Thanks.

PM sent as well!

Chris, what would it cost a PU member to get one of these shipped to Germany?

Cheers.

In the same boat. Wondering whether to go for this bargain or a K5 II for 200 sheets more?

Payment made for the 50-200 WR.

Ciao.

PM sent for the 55-300

Please help me spend this damned voucher

Already have a load of batteries, memory cards so was looking at older, cheaper lenses... Can anyone recommend me a classic older lens I can put the money towards? Already got a nifty fifty, whats good on the long end of things?

Much appreciated, Matt.

Just used it to knock this together in 5 mins...

Not bad since I literally did no adjustments, aside from a slight rotation. Will try other solutions and PSE at the weekend. Also want to see how it handles HDR panos

Cheers.

PC, although maybe not for much longer going by the new Mac book pro launch

Will have a play around with SNS and see what I can achieve in PSE.

Cheers for the recommendations.

Hi all,

Just got back from a weekend in Strasbourg where I attempted my first HDR shots. Now I want to process the pics and was wondering what software people use - for free?

I do have PSE 10, but am only a beginner, if anyone has any good guides to point me to.

I also shot an HDR pano in one cathedral. I use Hugin for pano processing, is the workflow the same for HDR panos?

Cheers!
