Same as above, heavy and expensive, but the sharpest lens at all apertures across the whole frame.

Is it necessary ? Of course not and the FA 50mm 1.4/1.7 will do a great job too.

I would be more concerned about the hassle and time involved sending your camera from where you live to either the official Greek Pentax agent or the country in which you purchased it or back to Japan.

There is a reason I buy complicated electronic equipment from a retailer with a physical shop. If there is a problem I can return it to them and they will help me.

You live in a populous area of Greece, is there not a good Photo retailer that stocks Pentax nearby ?

I love Italian architecture. The third one (Sienna) is very interesting, great angle.

I recognised the arena in Verona straight away. Lovely city.

Anywhere you know does the conversion?
No, but there are a few threads on the PentaxForums site about it including instructions how to do it yourself. It is a firmware hack. Perhaps ask if someone in the UK has done it and would do yours for a fee if you don't fancy the hack yourself.

There was a US guy that was doing it for $30

I have no explanation, but doubt the firmware has anything to do with it.

At 60cm you are only just inside the minimum focus distance, try at 15 feet or so. Also get the camera to focus each time from the extremities (infinity or closest distance). It does make a difference. I have calibrated 14 lenses with my K1 and they all behave slightly different. I put the K1 AF accuracy to be 70%. I doubt the K5 is any better.
