Afternoon all, Looking for a reasonable priced K5 body. If anyone has one for sale please PM.

Regards

RockingDad

I have a couple of these units that I use with my K5. Feel free to pm me if you want specifics. I can scan and send you the manual via email but to be honest its not the greatest. The 560III is a great flash but it doesnt have ttl for pentax so you are going to be using it in manual... I only use manual anyway. Ive used it for off camera flash and weddings without problems

Rockingdad

err thats not good!

Ahh now I thought id have to go get the lens so thats sounds like a really good service... is that included in their prices or charged extra for delivery?

Afternoon all, has anyone experience with renting from SRS? Looking to possibly rent a couple of lens for an upcoming event.

Cheers

I'll get an image up. Thanks for the replies.

Afternoon all,
getting used to my K5 but one issue id appreciate some thoughts on is image sharpness and stabilisation. There will be time the sharpness is spot on and others where it just doesn't seem to focus just quite enough. This is even at speeds over 1/500. Should I turn off stabilisation? Can this effect focusing if you don't really need it?

I've used a camera for years so know all about basic holding technique, just wondered if there are specific settings to improve this with this camera. Getting a bit cheesed of with friends with canons etc getting pin sharp images with very similar optics. I tend to use a sigma 70-300 dl macro f4-5.6

All constructive thoughts gratefully received

Im sure everyone is thinking this is a no brainer other than cost for the Pentax gun but the situation is this. I already have a 560III but I'm starting to get wedding bookings so I'm thinking am I better having a gun with pttl with my K5 or use the yongnuo in manual and master that really. I'd appreciate your views. Anyone use the yongnuo for weddings or similar???

Cheers

Evening all,

Im looking for a small bag that can house the K5, grip and zoom lens assembled plus possibly flashgun. I only want a small bag as ive got a full size kit bag and just need this for days out.

After looking at about ten plus, can anyone recommend one?

Lastly better to store locator lens off camera or on? Most of these bags seem to store the camera nose down.

Thanks
