KX: one of mine has a problem with the metering circuit or switch (the wind lever needs to be 'offset' for the metering to work)
This is normal, all KXs are like this. I was out shooting with mine this afternoon for the first time in a while and I found I'd forgotten how annoying this little "feature" is.

I saw the complaints this morning about the firmware bug. There have benn worse bugs in the past but still embarrassing and a good reason not to upgrade yet. No point in doing it twice.

As my K3 is stable and I can't afford the new lenses, I don't see any need to upgrade the firmware.

Always nice to hear a compliment, even if it's for the camera rather than the photographer.

Any examples to show us?

I have two K2s which don't function very well. It's a camera that doesn't seem to age as well as others, jamming up inside.

I've decided to send both of mine for CLAs because they are lovely to use.

I've never used a K5 but I'm quite happy with the noise levels of my K3. I shot a gig using it and my Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 and had it set to ISO 3200 almost the whole time.

I like how the shots came out and that's just with the basic Silkypix noise reduction processing which I'm sure is far inferior to photoshop or lightroom.

Tamron make an 18-200 in k-mount, but Pentax don't.

I am sure you are right. Though I am not sure you meant to say that.

Ooops, yes, I meant "more"
