Add all the lenses up and the 560mm starts to look reasonable.

It might be worth trying another 18-55mm if possible.
For about £150 you might find a used Pentax 16-45mm f/4 lens. If so, it's a uperb optic and would be an excellent upgrade.

Pentaprisms can deteriorate with age, so maybe one viewfinder is brighter because it's in better condition?

Shaney (she) was of course pointing the wrong way as the daylight was behind her, plus the double glazing reduced contrast as well. I was interested to see if a moving cat could be captured and how easy it was. It wasn't very easy, so out in the field capturing wildlife will be an interesting challenge.

The DSLR range had Samsung equivalents for a while and some lenses are available as Samsung lenses.
For example, the GX10 is the K10D and the GX20 is the K20D.

Then an abstract of a flowering Amaryllis.
And a second abstract:
These are all shot with the Q and SMC Pentax D-FA 100mm f/2.8 Macro.

I won't be affording a 560mm any time soon, that's absolutely certain. After a lottery win, maybe.
