No, the JPEGs are just fine. There are lots of them to look at in the PU/EPZ review, so you can judge for yourself.

According to page 169 of the K-5 manual, in Live View the function of the green button is as follows: "Returns the position of the display area to the centre (during enlarged view)"

I expect Nigel can tell us if the K-7 is the same?

A similar amount to any other lens of the same focal length. Most of the extra features won't work with modern DSLRs, although the power zoom will.

They are excellent lenses, but slightly more bulky than what we are used to.

Hearing movement inside a lens can be quite normal - it might be ball bearings in the aperture mechanism. I'd give it a try out and if all looks well not worry about it.

Of course it's a matter of degree, and we can't judge that.

It can also be expensive if people try to dodge by putting wrong info in. A faulty camera came back to me after an eBay sale and the send (from the USA) foolishly put it down as a gift. Duty was duly changed, although to be fair to HMRC when I sent in the evidence that it was exempt they did repay it. It just is a lot of messing about.

On the iPhone we rotate the phone until the circle around the compass is complete. I imagine there is a similar procedure on the K-3II, but can't double check as I no longer have the K-3II with me. Review copies have to go back....

Welcome, and we'll forgive the one iPhone picture. Time to get that Pentax and show us what can be done!
