That's quite amusing. Sad in a way but nevertheless funny. Guess without much knowledge it's as good a criteria as any.

While I agree with Sebas that a pro lens is the one that earns you money, I think more people define 'pro' by a price tag or marketing designation more than an other factor. Guess size matters after all

Oh these are great David. No 1 definitely wins.

I like what you did there I got used to the dogs though! Hope they won't strike for too long. I love the last one.

I don't think you can get a definite answer. It's an issue that is very personal. As the fella that took pictures of some Formula X race with a 100 year old camera recently demonstrated. Everything is 'doable'. Whether these are the results one and in case of a pro, their clientelle expects, it's another story. In my opinion, if you need to ask yourself that question; the answer is most likely: no, you don't need an upgrade. I think we do notice when the gear is holding us back; from printing big through high iso performance to faster AF. Even a simple 'convinience' update can be worth paying for as time is money. If your time is valuable in monetary terms, and an upgrade reduces the time and effort needed to achieve something, it's a good investment. Then there is the third aspect: the fun element. Do I need it? No. Do I want it? Yes. Can I afford it? Yes. I am going to have hell of a great time using it. I bought my K1 for exactly that reason. Not only do I enjoy using it much more than any other body I have, I love exploring it's boundaries and I feel it's capabilities are not 'wasted' on me (possibly a very arrogant assumption!). I just keep on learning what it can do and what I can do with it. At the end of the day, if it's affordable, I'd say treat yourself to an upgrade; if it's not, don't stress over it unless you can name what is holding you back so much

Fabulous set. 9, 12 and 14 is something I'd have on my wall. Particularly 14. Love the concept, the implementation: the processing, the somewhat muted tones.

Strangely enough, while I find the apparent curvature in no14 really draws my attention, the last photo with somewhat crooked verticals almost makes me nervous. Though that is most likely just me. I have a terrible urge to straighten it.

Brilliant stuff as always

I would never consider You Tube as a valid news source. If you are after varied opinions then sure, it's a great place. In modern day, facts can only be considered as facts if they come directly from the soure. Sadly.

Place to discuss the weekly should it be necessary. Cheers

Beautiful travel set. The boat one rocks. A good demonstration that high iso shot is better then no shot I often take the K3 instead of K1 due to weight, it never disappoints

Bit pricier but a decent seller with some history.
