I've recently acquired a K-5 IIs, and would like to get a new memory card to use with it. I realize the camera is more than a dozen years old, and a lot has changed in terms of storage tech in the meantime.

Since I don't intend to shoot any video on it, just stills (primarily RAW) the storage capacity of a modern card isn't quite as important to me as speed, which I'd like to maximize. It's not valuable to me to have more storage space than I can possibly fill up shooting stills with one or two batteries and a couple hours' time, but I'd be really into anything that speeds up the camera's shot cycle a tad.

Based on what limited information I know about the camera's hardware specifications, would I be correct in understanding that the K-5 IIs is compatible with SDXC, UHS-I? Would a UHS-II or UHS-III card actually perform any faster inside the camera, or only when sticking them into my computer to dump them? Thanks for educating me on this, I don't know much about how the different UHS levels work at a hardware level.

I have updated the camera body to its most recent firmware, if that's a factor.

Hello everyone, new Canadian here (relatively new to Canada, totally new to Pentax). I just acquired an amazing collection of Pentax gear from a generous Fuji convert, and I have been researching all the lenses now in my possession...this site has been a treasure trove of information!

I am just about done with "triage" on the pile of lovely gear I now have, and I've decided that some of the glass I want to keep, and some of it I would rather convert into cash to buy some memory cards, a bag, and maybe a fresh battery.

From you more experienced Pentax fans out there, I would appreciate any advice on how best to do this. I don't need to make absolute top dollar, am more interested in just getting my extra lenses into the hands of someone who will enjoy them.

I am located in a smaller city on the outskirts of Toronto. What would you all recommend? Just post them on ebay and see what happens? See if my local camera shop wants them for their used shelf? Try the classifieds here? If the latter, should I list them together, or make a forum post for each lens?

Thanks for your advice, and thanks for this amazing web resource. 📷🤓
