I would be tempted wit the kp if you don't want to go full frame but if you do the it's the k1
Macro is ths best way with lenses if you are doing that as finer detailed photos which then counts out the k1 as there is no deal ff macro lens yet

But if the gallery is paying for it to be used for gallery records I would be tempted with the 645z I have been told that if you have picked up and used any of the k series cameras you will get to grips wit the z straight away but at the end off the day it is your choice

May I ask where you are from

It was great to meet you that morning

it was luke fiona

hummmm

Curious as to why you consider the Nikon better for speedy cars?[/quote]the reason is pentax have a bad rep on high speed its more hit and miss but they are working on it

its more than 1in10 that you get a hit others say its the operator

the revivals is not to bad to get to from reading if you know the back roads if you know what i meen

i didnt go as i went to play with the pentax k1 at srs never touched the kp but had fun on a field trip to the church with 24/70 nice lens nice price as well

I would like to thank chris and the team at srs for the hospitality we had today
and to this guy matt Emmett




for some off his knowledge on the kp and k1

thanks to chris I had the chance to play with one off those beasts that is in matts hands
and hopfully there should be one off those in the household by the end off the year or early next

even more impressed with it than when I tried the pre production model

regards stu

Me thinks the problem lies at Ricoh feet with there advertising policy
ie: there is none they sort that out and it would be a different story
But until that happens the rumours wiĺl be there and the word of mouth like in the 70s and 80s don't work like it was back then

You could try a k5 at round the 300 mark

New or second hand

I like that better
