Another excellent set. I love 'Just Taking it Easy'. Great shot.

Looks like the K5 and 18-135mm are well suited to this sort of event.

I'm with Matty H and the majority of posters. I own a K-30 and am looking at the K-50 thinking unless I wanted a mag alloy body (and I don't) why would I want one? My next step would have to be the K5ii if I changed at the moment.
The K30 is a year old. Why would you change body already in any case?

Well, it's only been a year since the K30 launched... this new one is just a facelift version for people who should have bought a K30, but found the design off putting.

Generally people advise you to underexpose and bring back if needed, but shadow recovery can produce a lot of noise, so it's probably best to nail the exposure as best you can.

The 70ltd is good value at the moment IMO, and for portraits I'd go for that one as it's a shade faster than the other two. But any of these would be excellent; it comes down to whether you also need a macro.

Fantastic set!!! The first and last ones are particular corkers, but they're all really good.

Someone had posted that larger sensor will make the fisheye's angle of view closer to a classic fisheye 180 degrees, compared to 160 degrees with the old sensor. This might suggest that the larger sensor was always anticipated. There also looks to be a space around where the old sensor fits into the SR cradle.

Sorry, I thought it was a DX lens.

Since he talks about the 35/1.8, and hasn't mentioned FF, I would surmise he is thinking of APSC.

John, Alan has used the 35, 50 and 85/1.8 from another brand and is specifically asking about those focal lengths and speeds, which he likes.
