Thanks both for quick replies. Funnily enough John I've been looking into getting a tripod which is more stable but won't break my back when I'm out and about and I've just about decided on the one to get. This would tie in nicely with what you say and with getting the K5IIs , which I've read particularly repays the use of a good tripod . And allow me to continue using my lovely 15mm and 50-135mm lenses

Hello, I have a K5 at the moment and am considering switching to a Canon 6d, my reason being that I have photos -mainly landscape-on a pod site and am conscious of the need for very high image quality due to the size of some of the products on offer. I've read a lot of posts about the excellent image quality from the k5iis but as the canon 6d is full frame and has had fantastic reviews logic tells me that it's the way to go. I'd rather stay with Pentax though as I don't particularly want to have to start again with Canon lenses.I'm looking for any advice available. Thanks

Hello Mark, I'm really interested in your lens, could you confirm that you haven't had any sdm issues? Thanks

Optically I think it equals either of the current 35mm's (the f2.4 DA & f2.8 Macro limited) and the 70mm limited (though of course it's not as fast.) It betters the DA 17-70 significantly, though lacks the wider zoom range. That's some claim but I compare my lenses by taking a photo of a house number down the road and enlarge it in camera as much as it will go and compare the images. No, I can't believe it either! Contrast and colour rendition is good too.
Its only downside is that the focussing ring is at the front and rotates so it makes using a polariser more tricky.
I was expecting it to be a rubbish lens that I'd want to pass on quickly as it came with a cheap second hand P30, but truly far from it.

Thanks John, appreciate the advice. There was one for sale second hand on ebay , have just gone ahead and bought itOptically I think it equals either of the current 35mm's (the f2.4 DA & f2.8 Macro limited) and the 70mm limited (though of course it's not as fast.)

There are a few 35-70mm lenses (M, A, F) in the (past) Pentax line-up. Maybe you can be more specific.the 35-70
I don't have any of them, so can't compare or comment.

Hello, I've just bought a K-5 with the kit lens, I wonder how the quality of photographs produced using the 35-70 would compare?FAT8BIKER wrote:
