I've seen several people come over to Pentax on the US forum. Not sure if they were pros, but serious shooters - possibly pros who now were getting on a bit and wanted to shoot for enjoyment, and wanted a lighter camera.

I think what gwing means is you can change the document size to whatever size you intend to print, and then view at 'print size' on the computer screen.

You can then also send it to the printer - untick 'fit to page' and you can print a 4x6" test print of part of the image to see what the quality is like at A3, A2 or whatever. (I tried this with a hypothetical A1 size image from the K7, and bearing in mind the viewing distance of a large print, was very pleased!)

I have read that a so-so lens on FF will still be better than on APSC. On APSC you are cropping the lens's image circle, so I guess that makes sense. It's true that to get the full potential of FF you do need the best lens though. But isn't that also true of APSC?

As with the Samyang, there are some lenses which have problems at the edges which APSC hides by conveniently cropping them off! That's where you could say they 'work better' on APSC.

That last crop works best for me. Terrific image.

Simple but effective shot, with the narrow dof and green backdrop.

Phil, recently you are full load of money for lenses and now a bag

Well he needs something to put them all in, eh?

I came close to making an offer on this, glad it eventually sold.

Nikon produce FF DSLRs, and their *NEW* 50mm lenses cost less than that... and they have autofocus!

The seller is just trawling for noobs.

One of our members, marklj has gone from Pentax to FF (Nikon D800). You can peruse his Flickr images and see which ones are shot on the K5, and which on the D800, and whether you think it makes any difference.

I've just had a look and even the ones shot on the humble Kx look pretty excellent to me! However Mark seems resolute that the D800 improved his images.

The K20 dust removal feature (where the sensor vibrates and the dust falls off) is done with the lens attached normally. The dust falls onto a pad below the sensor I think.

Actual sensor cleaning, with a pad or brush etc, obviously needs the lens to be removed, and the mirror needs to go up to access the sensor. Ensure there's plenty of life in your battery if you attempt this - if the camera turns itself off, the mirror will come back down.

Same here. I will probably maintain my XP machine as long as I possibly can; the software (also including Autocad 2007) I have isn't compatible with Win7 let alone 8! And I like XP. Luckily a lot of people still do, and you can still buy a PC with it installed.
