Are there any Pentax lenses available with a focal length of say 500mm that could compete with the likes of sigma and Tamron?
I've just acquired a SMCP 500mm 1:4.5 lens but I've not had time to take any useful images with it as yet. Just started playing with it today.
It's an original K mount, manual focus, no A setting on the aperture ring.

I took a few of a juvenile Pied/Grey Flycatcher today. The bird was backlit and there was evidence of some red CA in the images but that was easily corrected in Lightroom. When I have some images worthy of posting, I will.

Not a problem for me as a buyer or a seller.

No, these will have a special anti-matter coating that actively repels dust and other foreign matter such that they never need cleaning.

I think the new K? will have interchangeable sensors. Full frame when you need it for the older AF lenses, switch to an APS-C sensor for the current range of lenses.

These sensors will be housed in a little case similar to a memory card and slotted in as necessary. A four thirds sensor could be available at launch and includes an Oly to PK adapter.

Stefan, I was referring to the Menu, trash, Info, and Image Review buttons. Not only are they moved from left to right (not a huge problem) but they've apparently changed their order too.

Somebody somewhere is going to hit the trash button mistaking it for the review button and I'd rather it wasn't me.
