Has anyone moved from a k10 to a kr and were glad they did?, after trying one in Jessops I was suprised how much spec they've packed into a smaller body, obviously it lacks the solidity and weather proofing of the k10 but the increased spec makes it look a good move.
Budget excludes the k5 and k7 until prices drop....

Thanks for all your input and recommendations, I have finally plumped for the DA 35mm F2.4 and have to say after finding it somewhat alarmingly light weight, its optical quality is exceptional value for money and the K10d feels like its halved in weight!(Sigma 17-70mm work horse lens). Maybe Pentax will bring out more lenses like this.
I've also had the strange thought getting rid of my zooms and just having a range of prime lenses and thus adopting a more considered approach to photography.

Then I suppose if I bought the 35 2.4 I'd always wonder what might have been..... the 35 2.8 Limited is very tempting, decisions decisions.

Hi all,
Has anyone bought or tried the Pentax smc DA 35mm F2.4 AL Lens - £149.00 (approx) which came out late last year.
Failing that has anyone got the more expensive Pentax DA 35mm F2.8 Macro Limited Lens.
Your experience of either is welcome.
Cheers
Simon.

I was pretty much in the same boat, tried to part exchange my GX-10 kit with grip through SRS, but wasn't happy with their quote at £150.
So I bought a Samyang from them instead. The only thing that will replace my camera will be a K5+grip. It's the only other Pentax DSLr (that I know) that has outclassed every other brand in its generation, the first would be the K10D/GX-10.
Kept the camera, bought a faster lens.
