I like the word you used: "weapon" of choice!

Oh man, I want this lens. I unfortunately upgraded my camera so will have to pass this time, unless you're willing to trade it for a DA 55-300 and a Tammy 28-300?

Welcome to the forums! I support your decision in getting the K-r. In regards to the lens, stick with the kit, since that will let you know where you want to go from there, if it's wider or more zoom.

Please ask away. I used to be a trainer, and I believe that "There's no such thing as a stupid question.", provided of course that you've done your search first since it's more than likely that someone else has asked a question similar to yours!
But if you package your questions like this thread here, I for one will be happy to help. You're lucky our resident admin John Riley has shared his wisdom with you first!
Congratulations in securing a Pentax K-r! One of the best cameras out there in shooting using high ISO (I particularly like how the noise is now compared to the older models).

ok I have just done a few more test. I think at high ISO say ISO 1600 or ISO 3200 there is no question that the K5 is alot better than k20D, however it is not good enough to make a 18X12 print. I always print at that sort of size and in this case looks like I have to keep my iso just as low as I used to shoot on the K20D under ISO400 is acceptable.
A little disappointed but that is life.
At least you got quite a lot for £600! Play to the strengths of the camera, and considering you're coming from a K20D, I would like to think that this "little disappointment" will soon go away. ok I have just done a few more test.

I look forward to your photos sir!

Very weird! It looks as if the exposure was different for each of the photos, but then again, it wouldn't be possible considering the angle of the lines. Have you tried another photo stitching software? I think Microsoft has a beta (free to download and use) program that solely does this: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/ivm/ice/
