I'm not sure what you mean by 'is the jpeg IQ better with the Pentax'?

What lenses are you comparing to, when you say they are 'soft focus'? How are you viewing/editing the pictures, or are you talking about prints?

Quote: "But obviously you permit people to enter to gain access to your front door to deliver mail etc."
I think you'll find that you can't stop them by law? You often see signs telling them they can't, but the signs aren't legal.
Signs that read "Trespassers will be prosecuted" are meaningless as you cannot be prosecuted for trespass - it is a civil wrong, not a criminal offence. It's therefore more accurate to have a sign that reads: "Keep out - private property. You are trespassing."

I dont know where this quote comes from but there is no such thing as 'the law of the United Kingdom', there is English law and there is Scots law; both quite different in their fundamental principles.

I know a lot of people snub their noses at slow shutter speed water shots, but for me it not only looks beautiful, it really allows the pier structure to come to the fore, like a piece of cool minimalist sculpture.

Tbh I'd rather spend the money on going to places to photograph than on things to photograph with.

You have bought a K5 - that's an expensive and serious camera. You owe it to yourself to get the best out of it and excuses like 'silver haired old git syndrome' simply won't wash! You will find many people here willing to hold your hand through your first steps. Myself included!
