I have seen several published shots of trains passing the back of the castle where the photographer has attained a higher viewpoint.
Were you standing in the park? It might be worth a climb up the hill behind you, the next time you are there.

The sharpness of both is impressive but the Pentax has the obvious added convenience of A-mode and autofocus.
"...why spend £1000 (£719) on a camera to balk (sic) at £50 for a battery?"
OTOH would you spend £700 on a camera when you can get te same thing at a tenth of the price?
Just because a battery (or a poster for that matter) has "Pentax" in the name does not make it infallible.
I had no problems with a Hahnel in my K10D and now have an Energiser spare (£19.99 at Jessops but £9.99 after Tesco vouchers) for my K5.
I usually can't remember how long the battery has been in the camera by the time it is exhausted so I can't really perceive the "slightly better" performance from the OEM battery.

I was trying to search for items referring to firmware version "1.13", but when I enter 1.13 (in quotes or otherwise), it is converted to 113 and the intended searched items are not found.
I was trying to check up on whether users were finding v1.13/K5 to be an improvement worth applying. Why is it on the Japanese site but apparently not on the UK?
Only the K5 Silver edition is listed here:
