We're due a new chunky model I think (maybe with a FF sensor inside to justify the slight size increase!)

The K10D is not massive, but being slightly larger means the buttons and switches are a bit easier to use. I always found the metering mode dial quite painful to use on the K7.

I prefer the K30 ergonomics to the K7/5 though!

Groundhog day: https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/is-this-purple-fringing--39422

The OP posted this from the 18-135mm:

This definitely isn't the lens [just check out that old thread from the OP]. If it's the 135/3.5, and it's at least stopped down a little bit, fringing shouldn't be an issue.

I have got to say it has turned my head? and its just because I have got 1000s of £s already in Pentax gear so that's why I am hesitant at the moment.

Whether you upgrade to a 645D or a D800E, it's still a system change and requires building a new kit from scratch. D800E seems like a bit of a no-brainer if you need that level of quality and detail. Will there be a 645Dii though?

There's something up with this image, note the strips at the border of the frame. Processing or sensor issue?

'Finctional', lol.

1. All Pentax DSLRs. Fully finctional and an excellent lens.
2. Seems to vary depending on the patience of the seller. 150.00 to 250.00 perhaps?

I'd love one but can't justify more LBA at the moment.

No. 4 is fantastic Shaun. No. 3 is perhaps OTT with the foreground interest - maybe it'd make an amazing abstract shot with those cracks and the channel?

So I need to change the focal length every time I zoom in or out?

Ideally yes. In practise, it's a pain. I dial in the shortest focal length e.g. 75mm on the 75-150mm. Better too little SR than too much, I think (although I have not tested this!)

I was led to believe that they will work the same for any brand?

Sadly 1/180 is the max. sync speed for Pentax, unless you're using a dedicated Pentax PTTL flash gun in HSS mode, and PTTL functions will NOT work with these triggers

Interesting. Mine work at a much greater distance; probably about 50m. Not that I need that great a range (I was just idly testing them while on a shoot). I'm not that aware of the different brands but Yongnuo have a great reputation for price/performance.
