Why are you struggling? I would have thought it was obvious that it would be interesting to have a good long look at three of the most legendary Pentax lenses to see if they match up to the digital era. Especially as they were designed for film.

The same may be true of the 60-250mm and 300mm - how good are they?

Are you not at all curious about these things?

It won't be long before the answer can be judged for yourselves, including the technical graphs. The 70mm f2.4 review is already out.

The Hoya filter is also the wrong thickness, so it will be optically out as well.

Well it is developing Steve and you didn't exactly have it for free because there was a charge for the membership of £16.50 per year. The difference is there was a physical, printed magazine. Now it's online articles and costs £9.95. You still get the 20% discount on servicing and other benefits.

Still, the choice is there.

diversification or desperation

Neither, unless it's been that way since the 1970s...

Pentax have always offered SLRs in different formats (110, 35mm, 120 film) and added compacts a very long time ago.

The best option is don't. So far I've only ever used a rocket blower and not very often. Making sure the camera is switched off when changing lenses and that the camera throat is pointing downwards will help.

I agree Gwyn. There isn't enough space allowed on the K-5 to make removing the card easy. It's a small thing, but it could do with attending to.

It's an exciting prospect, so let's not let the thread descend into the silly zone.

I'll move this to General Chat.
