I really, really love my new K-3II. I love my K-30 as well but stepping up to the new camera has made me realise how hard I had to work with the K-30 to get things right. Not that the K-30 was a bad camera at all (on the contrary) but for the number of shoots I was doing, it was really hard-going.

In any case, I am very glad I didn't wait for the new FF. I will have lots of satisfaction and fun shooting with the K-3II for quite a while.
Could you perhaps elaborate on "hard-going" and how it is improved by the K3II? Thanks

That shot gives me the creeps - like a vortex to hell or a black hole sucking you in....

Nice shot though

to be a bit picky, I would say they are mostly a trifle over-exposed, but really nice shots anyway!

OK, so it CAN be done, yet I have never seen it mentioned in the dslr press.

I ony started thinking about this as I have decided I really would like to get a set of NDs.

I am about to set out this "simple" question, in the hope that, in so doing, I will suddenly get the answer myself (as often happens with me!).

Why don't digital cameras offer built-in ND filters? In other words, why can't the electronic eye just be less sensitive and need a longer exposure? Is it because the technology of the chip means it produces too much noise with long exposures?

I get that you wouldn't see the ND-ness in the viewfinder, but that'd be a good thing, surely....

Maybe I am missing the point somewhere. Enlighten me.

Talk in another thread about the GPS unit prompted me to find these:

Having just seen this vid on using older lenses on newer cameras

Using Old Pentax Lenses on Newer Pentax Cameras:

I see that they can be picked up cheaply on ebay. What are the pitfalls on picking up a few cheaply? will they be any better (or worse) than my kit lens on my K30? That is to say, will a 50mm old lens (in good condition) produce very different shots than a modern stock lens?
