I would keep the Pentax lens, on the grounds that the colour balance of your two lenses will then be the same.

When using other makes of lens I find it quite annoying when some of them are either too blue or too warm. This can lead to a colur variation and inconsistency over a batch of shots.

I have repaired the faulty quote for you.

It has a lower specification. Pentax tend to run two types of body - the higher end more professional ones such as the K-5 and the lower priced more amateur orientated ones such as the K-r and K30.

Both types still perform very well and produce stunning images.

Check out www.srsmicrosystems.co.uk who offer free shipping to PU members. They are major Pentax dealers and super-efficient.

To be fair there are plenty of other classic B&W shots that are more contrasty - I have ones here in books.

Thanks for the image wasleys!

No, I've never had a camera of any make lock up. Can't tell you why, that's just the way it's been.

I've noticed this phrase a few times in relation to firmware updates. Does anyone know what sort of stability we're talking about?

My K20D is still only on 10,228 and the K-5 on 10,833. Quite a few images, but it seems I'm shooting quite economically.

That's just from the file count by the way, no need for Photome if the camera is set to count continuously.

Did you take the photo looking through the window glass? That would totally destroy the definition.
