I've got a Crumpler Messenger Boy 2500. Fits a K7 plus kit lens with room for a larger zoom and a prime e.g. a sigma 10-20 and an FA50mm. You could get a flash in there as well, at a push. There's a front pocket which fits a remote, some filters, SDcards etc.

It looks quite good and non-camera baggy. The next size up will enable you to cram even more in but I prefer to keep things compact.

According to the other forum, yes it does!! Allows you to do it individually as well as globally.

Yep. It's so obviously not what was intended, that no further clarification is really needed IMHO.

It wouldn't hurt to make it slightly clearer, but AFAIK no-one has actually misconstrued the rules...

No, because a fast 50mm is also useful on APSC - as evidenced by the high prices for F/FA 50s. Used F50.1.7s go for over £150. So I wouldn't see this as a particular sign they are planning a 135 format camera. Although they could well be

The k-01 was the first Archie, the tech from that has been taken into the k30. But your point probably still stands.

Bloody fantastic lens, and a lot cheaper than the new DA50/1.8! Same optical design most likely too.

I hear it has quickshift. Well quickshift is nice to have and all, but I would have been perfectly happy without it, and a lower price. Don't actually use it that often tbh, I'm either in MF mode or find it quicker to point the camera at something fractionally further away and recompose.

Harrumph. I'm definitely sticking with my excellent copy of it's optical progenitor, the M50/1.7 now!

I suppose if you put the camera in the sand upside down, yes... but that really would be dumb!

I'm amazed at the high launch price. Yes I know they tend to fall a bit, but the DA35mm was launched with a very low price straight off the bat. We need a cheap 50. There are plenty of expensive ones to pick from already - DA40mm, FA50mm, etc

It's a toughie.
Any difference between the cameras in IQ terms will be piddling and academic, I am sure.
Not bothered about the smaller buffer on the K30 really.
Conversely, I'm not bothered about the K30's improved AF, even if it is as improved as they say it is.
The bracketing is a slight bonus for the K5, not a feature I use that often though.
Certainly not bothered about ISO80 (I don't think it's the true base ISO anyway).
Lack of top LCD is a bit of a downer.
Much prefer the look and feel of the K5.
But for me the focus peaking mode on the K30 probably trumps all the arguments in favour of the K5. It would be hugely beneficial when using manual lenses.

Personally if I owned a K5 I would not be bothered about the K30 or have any feeling of regret, but as a prospective buyer looking at the two cameras, I'd probably go for the K30.
