To be honest along with a lot of others ,I was expecting and looking forward to a bigger upgrade than both the K511's , i have seen very little difference 'if any at all' in image quality looking at samples!

I had to upgrade my K-r so I went for the classic K5 because i see no reason on spending extra on a camera that will probably be replaced by the 'pentaxian must have' camera in 2013 anyhow , then we can all start worrying how we are going to afford the new lenses we will be going to be needing

Got the 3 free months too

Wouldn't be worth me upgrading to win8 without a touch screen, until i need to get one ill not even think about upgrading .....it will probably be win9 or 10 by then though

I wonder how much it would cost in legal fees ?
i think it would ruin anyone ten times over to take action against them , plus how many years would it take !

I had to pass on a unused one of these a few weeks ago ,i tested it out , lovely lens a pleasure to use , i had just bought a Jupiter 200mm and i have far too many long M42's .

Just been reading a post on Flikr asking the same question ,according to somebody who knows more than me Zeiss only licensed the making of optics to a Japanese company , to make lenses for PS cameras , so a Prakticar 2.4 35mm is the same lens as the Carl Zeiss 2.4 35mm Flektogon

There is really no difference apart "what i have been told" the latter Prakticar versions were made in Japan , some say the Japanese versions were inferior.....not sure of this having not used the Japanese made version.
