Got a couple of surplus items that I don't need anymore.

Kata Grip 12 DL - Only a few months old - fits my K-X in it with an 18-55mm lens - room for a filter and cards but thats it. Comes with water proof cover too £20 posted





Also got a Crumpler Bens Pizza Bag XL - this is a few years old and its been well used but still in good condition. An excellent bag that will carry my K-X with 18-55 lens, 50-200 lens, lens hood and plenty more. £12 posted







Finally got a BNIB Lenspen Hurricane blower - an unwanted gift as I already had one - £7.50 posted

thanks all

tbh I think I'm being a tad harsh !

I've deleted them but most images are sharp and just need a quick tweak...

Reading the review of the k-r (which is very similar in image quality to the k-x) I can see what you are saying - I don't think there would be a dramatic difference...

I might think about upgrading lenses instead, which is where I started !

With regards to focus - I noticed on a recent holiday that I have taken quite a lot of out of focus shots.

As i said could be user error and I will try being more careful and taking my time when taking pics.

stub - interested to know why you thing a newer model d3200 would be a backward step...

thanks - tbh a K5 is way out of my reach - was thinking either k-r or d3200 (not popular on a pentax forum i know)

thanks John

I suppose I fancy something new - I have been very happy with my k-x apart from some focus issues which might be user error..

Hi all

Difficult question with no right or wrong answer I know...

But - when do you think its time to upgrade a DSLR - and in particular a K-X which is 2 years old ?

How quickly does technology move on these days ? I'm just wondering whether the k-r would be an improvement or even another make - D3200 for eg as I am not tied into Pentax (although I've enjoyed my k-x)

thanks

thanks mate - should say that my kit lens is not the WR version - not as i stated in last post

No idea if its mk2 or not but I agree that it can produce some good images.

I will have a think before I buy...

thanks i've just got the basic DAL version which is weather protected.

Budget is very tight - £150 max maybe £200 if it was a complete bargain !

thanks for the replies folks - always appreciate people taking their time

I'll take a look on fleabay...

John - I was hoping it would be a noticeably better lens - can you make any other suggestions ?

I would like something a zoom starting at between 16-18mm - well really i'd like a wider angle but just cant afford one.
