That Murphy bloke must be a bloody magician.... the smegger knows where I am most of the time as well!!
I am errring towards the K-S2.... mainly because of Wifi and flippy flappy screen! BUT....
The aperture thing has got me worried. My main camera is a K3, and k5ii is my back up. I use the K-S2 for astro, so I suppose the aperture thing is negated because it will be attached to a telescope.
I think I have just talked myself in keeping the K5II... but I am blaming you Lubbyman!!

Here are a few of my latest astro shots. As before these were taken with a Canon 5D MkII.
As a side note.... I wish Ricoh would improve the tethering capabilities. I use software that interfaces with most DSLR's, but predominantly Canon & Nikon. I have tried some community written software but unfortunately everything goes completely haywire when I use a Pentax body. It got so bad it buggered up my Raspberry Pi I was using! Had to completely reinstall everything, I would love to be able to use plate solving, then shoot with one of my Pentax bodies... It's massively vexing....

Theyre sat collecting dust. I'll dig them out and post photos.
