I brought a 55-300 back to Oz to sell but due to the wonderful light here and its IQ, I have held onto it. It may well be a different story in dull weather. However, that’s one reason I use other kit.

I don't really see a difference in AF between the K7 and K5; even the K10 is good with this lens in bright light.

So all in all, it's circumstantial. If the light is good, you’ll get acceptable performance as far as AF goes.

Best regards

Excellent set!

It just shows how good the IQ is of other Pentax bodies. There are those who have said that they wouldn't go back to a KR with any lens. I wonder if they would consider a KX?

Does not come across too well for those who use a KR.

Typical Nikon, copying Pentax!
I wonder when Nikon will also copy Minolta as Pentax did with in body SR?

Held a k-5 saturday in my hand at waterloo's mediamarkt, the view finder I like but the grip is too small for my hand... my little finger folds under the body..

has the k-30 (should be out on June 25, so yesterday) the same grip ?

keltos
I would say it has.

One of the three reasons that all of my DSLR's and film bodies that take either a grip, winder or motor drive are gripped.

Carlton Draught apparently - a lager of questionable quality - trust me you don't want it!
or questionable price at 5.80 a pint, which is in the lower price range of prices for pints in WA. I'm still waiting to see how the Carbon Tax affects the prices after July 1st.

If it is to be a full frame it will be interesting to see how many people who have been demanding one actually buy one. It should be a major hit on it's launch day if all those full frame protagonists are to be believed. Of course whether they are willing to pay the price for it is another matter...
No doubt they'll all start moaning about the lack of FF lenses for it immediately too, just too give them something else to complain about :
Spot on.....they'll probably all be looking for excuses NOT to buy one.
If it happens, I will buy one as I have already bought the Ltd.’s.

It also means all my other Pentax FF lenses can be used properly, as designed. My Pentax wide angle lenses would be back to wide angle and not crippled on APSC. My Pentax shift lens will be able to be used properly.

As for the lack of FF lenses, how is that possible? The best Pentax lenses are FF, the top Ex Sigma's are FF, and the fast Chinese brands are FF.

I'd be more concerned about AF and flash systems for Pentax than who uses APS-C or FF.

This thread shows a marked split between the FF and APS-C camps. Each to their own.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to Pentax. When I was choosing my first DSLR, after looking into the options I couldn't find any good reason why anyone would ever buy a Canon or Nikon over a Pentax.

If only more people knew.
Knew what specifically?

We all see many many times more Canon and Nikon DSLR's in use than Pentax.

My first DSLR had to be Pentax as the majority of my lenses were Pentax.

Boiler? Who needs a boiler when the temperature is around 30C all the time? Admittedly, when I lived in UK, a boiler breakdown was a major calamity!
Meanwhile, in more informed communities?

Tepid warm water systems distribute or recirculate warm water at temperatures conducive to the growth of Legionella (nominally 45'C).


So unless you can achieve 60'C at some point which can then mixed with cold water to a comfortable level or use a chemical treatment, you may be at risk.
