Good to hear Ken. We have a Coolscan V and it has a Kodachrome setting. In this case it does produce a better result on that setting, but I guess that's what it's set up for.

Nice, I do in general find images of cars rather samey and even boring, but these have life and vigour in them. The diagonal compositions are really good.

Yesterday at Blists Hill Victorian Town. I don't go particularly looking for Pentax users, but we sort of tripped over each other.

I have changed the title as it could be seen as libellous. It's fine to report experiences, but please be careful to only report facts and you should be fine.

Film cameras are indeed a different beast and in general people didn't upgrade in the same sort of way as we do now. We couldn't afford it apart from anything else. So it's not really a good comparison, although I know what you're getting at.
We also know what you're getting at regarding the K-7 and K-5, we just don't agree with you. That's life!

2MB will produce a printable image, but we digress from the OP's thread, so this is for another thread if you want to pursue it.
Meanwhile, the images posted here are very good indeed, with nice realistic colours and no sense of them being overdone. An excellent start.

Algi, there are indeed four 18-55mm lenses, but that's got nothing to do with the 55-300mm.
The original 18-55mm was replaced by the MkII so we could take advantage of the increased resolution of the K20D. The WR version arose so we could have a WR lens for obvious reasons. The DA-L version is a lower cost version with no QuickShift, no metal mount and no lens hood.

2MB is a huge file for upload. Less than 400K is more than enough.

Nigel, we know the K-7 and K-5 are ergonomically identical.
The slightly bizarre bit is that you are arguing that some "only value the image quality and dynamic range" but in fact it would be pretty strange to discount those things as a distinct advantage. We already accept the ergonomics of the K-5, which does indeed share the same advantages that the K-7 did.
The whole point of image making is the quality of the final result, so I still am bemused by your argument.
