Well, during my search for my DSLR, it was harder to find K7 (new or used) so I opted to Kr. But certainly in my opinion, Kr looks more entry level friendly than the K7

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

@Transit : well, I have thought of buying focusing screen to help in focusing, but I'll just search around the forums first and look for others opinions first and for now I'll just have to keep learning using stock one (as stated by Opethian, anticipate the focus)

Hi all Pentaxians

I am new to the forum here, but have joined Pentax forums back in my country (I'm here at the UK to study, so sorry if I have some language mistakes ). I have been a K-r user for a few months now (being my first DSlR) and just bought a new lens a few weeks back, a Samyang 85mm. Still trying to play around with it and hope somebody here can guide me to some tips on how to use manual focus. And also, if possible I hope I can get some suggestions on some cheap flash that I can play around as a beginner (and tips for it). Hope that I will enjoy myself here Thanks
