I had a cheap ebay split focus screen in my old k10d and it worked very well. The only thing I did notice when I got my gx-20 is that the standard screen is noticibly brighter.

That would be handy actually if you dont mind posting it on, Paul

Got the Metz 48 today thanks, In excellent condition all boxed and even some free rechargable battery's.

Thanks again. Paul

K10d only goes up to iso 1600.

The advantage's would be a few more direct controll's think thats it, I know the sensor is the same.

I used to think I really needed a FF camera, so just last month I sold my K10d and bought a Canon 5D Mk1.

One thing I do like is the bigger view finder.

Noise level's at high ISO's was better

Thats about it really, image quality is not noticible any better.

The ergonomics are awfull compared to pentax ( camera dependant nothing to do with FF sensors)

Lenses are very expensive and the FF sensor shows up flaws in cheaper lenses.

After only a couple of weeks I sold it and went back to APS in the form of a GX-20. ( why have all the expense when i'm not getting any benifits)

I cant see why an APS sized sensor doesnt have a place when it is by far the most popular form of DSLR camera today and will continue to be for many years

There are endless amounts of lenses available including plenty of ultra wide's.

So the argument of wide angle lenses stay wide ect on on FF doesnt really stand up.

FF really did not offer me any impovment in my photography therfore I dont miss my 5D at all and actually much prefer my little APS camera.

Good luck with your new camera whatever it will be,

Be carefull what you wish for, I yearned after a FF camera for ages then got my 5D.

After about a month of using it i've now gone back to APS and bought a GX-20 which i'm perfectly happy with it.

After using FF for a while I realised there is no advantage for me.

Evening all, I've got £80 burning a hole in my paypal account so i'm after a new tripod for around this price.

I dont know the first thing about tripods so could do with some help.

Any suggestions.

iirc SRS have both k20d and gx-20 at the moment.
