It can be handy for the odd snap when travelling light.

Could chuck it in a river to heat it up or as a de-icer on windsheilds...

Yeah, I cannot get the WB of a 5D Mkii to match that of a K10D. Two different beasts.

Same here, all the lenses were reasonably priced. They became very expensive but are coming down a little. I can remember getting the DA*300 for about £800 and it went to over £1500 at one point!Dangermouse wrote:

The days of Pentax doing anything for people on a budget are pretty much gone now I would say. When I started with them a few years back they were the brand for anyone wanting lenses at sensible prices but that is in the past.aside from the 35/2.4 they just don't seem interested in making primes for the serious amateur on a budget.

Nothing wrong with Pentax glass, it is all very good and produces pleasing bokeh. Cheap Canon lenses with 5 flat aperture blades are just pentagons galore.

Sadly not, Canon have a nice 200 F2.8 L for under £700.
Lack of Primes could be something to do with consumers wanting all singing all dancing super zooms with mediocre IQ.

Or just set the flash to M mode and use fully manual.

Same optically as the A50 f1.7 as well which is a better lens than the f1.4 versions (much sharper wide open).

Depends if you want the FoV of a 180 f4 or an actual 180 f4...

It even made it into my PPG, lol.
They are very attractive plants to photograph.
Used:
K10D + DA 50-200 f4-5.6
Onboard Flash to overpower the ambient and darken the background.
The K10D was a birthday present from my parents.
