Have you been using it for a lot of shots at a very high ISO?

Is the magenta cast just with jpegs straight out of the camera or is it also in RAW files when they are opened with a RAW processor? Clutching at straws here, but you never know what ideas a question might throw up.

I’ll give that a try, thanks for the thought.

My K5 appears to have developed a colour cast - is this something that happens or am I just unlucky?
May have to bin it and go back to the old faithful k10d!

The standard lens for the MZ-5 was the silver FAJ 28-80, there's sevaral similar as well as the Fa 28-82 on ebay at the moment for reasonable prices.
And no I' not selling any...

Yes, a good choice and a genuine step forward in a number of ways. Enjoy using your new camera.

Good choice! Glad the discussion helped .... Now then, a K5 ...., thats a great camera .... well, it must be ... looks exactly like a K7 !!

If it is half as good as the K10 I'll be very happy.
Will be interesting to see how the cmos sensor compares against the ccd sensor particularly in lower light.
Thanks again for your help.

I'm currently using a k10d and I'm looking for a second body.

Have you tried a total reset? The reason that I ask is that a few years ago my K5 would only shoot in monochrome caused I think, by the sensor being overwhelmed when I inadvertently pointed the camera towards the sun when I took a shot. Resetting the back to factory settings did the trick. Mind you, it was a bit of a pain re-customising the camera!!
