I don't think I'm helping here, but worth a shot me thinks:

Have you tried out the Samyang 85 1.4? Faster although shorter, but you can buy new and it will cost cheaper, and will have warranty. The Pentax versions I believe have the "A" setting.

I second the others, cropping is in due order here. I remember one of my friends who has a passion for film black and white photography showing me his photo book. After which he told me that 95% of the photos were cropped from other photos. Cropping in itself is an art (!

Beautiful photos by the way, and that tagline "There Goes Your Summer", just made it spot on!

Welcome Eke! Hope you'll be taking fantastic photos soon!

Caution though, as the girlfriend may start to wonder where you've been spending your "time" as you get to know the camera more.

Oh man can't wait to see a weathersealed version of the Q, add that with a weathersealed KQ mount adapter and a weathersealed macro lens, then you got Bob running your bakery.

Wow, you captured it well! Heck, I don't think I've seen a dragonfly near where I am all this year!

I'd go for a K-r, and a 70-200 2.8 myself. The lens will easily last me the next 5 years (at least!), while the camera will be lucky to last 3.

Unless of course you need that weather protection.

Wow from £89 to £39! Good buy Zevon. Would have snapped this up, can't believe I missed this.

Received a notification the other day but the postman came in the 30 minutes that no one was home. Had it redelivered today. Excellent packaging, fast delivery, and the lens is in excellent condition. Will need to try it out this weekend, weather permitting!

This was an excellent buy. A Tamron 70-300 for £60. Thanks dougf8!
