Thanks, that is my favourite and best lens at the moment
Has been fine for 20 years, hopefully it will be fine for an other 20. Like my Takumar 50f1.7(possibly 1.4 I forget and don't have it nearby).

Now what would be really nice is if they made the DA* 55f1.4 an F1.2 lens *drool*
Or even a DA* 50f1.2 to match up with it but still be a slightly different focal length to help me find a reason to get it.

I think the thing about the A50f1.2 isn't the extra half stop but the incredible softness wide open and shallow DoF. It is quite dreamy and creamy overall.
Plus its compatibility with the K10D over the K version.

Really? Wow! If SRS can source it that would be great. It was only discontinued in 2004 apparently.

Perhaps the camera is dyeing? Seems very unusual to me.

Shutter is electro-mechanical with a 1/180 maximum speed on the K10D. Higher speeds are achieved by a slot streak exposure mechanism with the first and second curtain as far as I understood it.

DSLRs certainly have a shutter, bridge and Compact digital cameras don't need one, do they? The view is constantly live and I would have thought the "exposure" was more akin to a freeze frame. Then again, they are supposed to have an electr-mechanical shutter so maybe at some speeds it's a freeze and at others an actual shutter mechanism.
Does anyone lnow definitively the answer?
No shutter on compact and bridge digital cameras just a time capture off the CCD. It is on all the time and capturing for the screen on the back. If they had any kind of shutter the 'liveview' wouldn't work.DSLRs certainly have a shutter, bridge and Compact digital cameras don't need one, do they?

DSLRs have a proper shutter.

Not necessarily, unless a new model comes out with very high sensitivity, low noise, high resolution, higher dynamic range and better lens support my K10D will see a very long life (unless it is tragically cut short).
I do want to see if Pentax re-enter the 'pro' market with a large body with lots of features. But I think I'd rather have a 645D

Oops, my bad
That is 10 hours continuous shooting Much better
