You get 2k shots from a full charge??????? How the heck do you manage that mine died at just over 600.

Exactly right!!! Not quite on beans but I'd rather not spend 55 if I didn't have to Will check the 7days ones, thanks for the suggestionBECAUSE you have just spent 900 quid

You gotta ask Nikon for that

Yes that sounds about right bretti, compared to the D7k they are not that many, I ended up shooting 800 pictures with it before I sold it and the battery indicator was not even half way down. I'll have to get another one.

What kind of second battery, if any, you have? I find it a bit hard to swallow the 50£ for a second Pentax D-LI90 battery seen an Energizer for 18£ anybody has tried them? Do they even work with the K-5 or like Panasonic third party batteries simply don't work ?
I know I shouldn't really be cheap when it comes to batteries but it is tempting
BTW how many pcis does your original battery last you for? Mine I think went dead after about 600 or so but I am not sure.Sounds a bit low.

The biggest difference is the D7k... it is almost 900gr camera....

Yes the Pentax hood is a lot more solid and heavier.
Yeap D7k went on TP a couple weeks back, sold the 50-150 just yesterday is getting shipped tomorrow. I only have a D40 with a 35mm and a 17-50 Tamron. These are staying

Dunno my Sigma 50-150 was 770 or so grams, the 50-135 seems 680 both without hoods mind you. I know I sounds sad but one of the main reasons that I bought into the whole Pentax thingy was the smaller lighter kit overall and I wanted to make sure I was not simply day-dreaming.
In any case D7000+50-150 was almost 1700gr K-5+ 50-135 is well under 1200. Half a kilo less to carry, I am happy.

Actually it is more like 100gr different, The Nikon version of the lens was just south of 800gr the pentax is just south of 700. Significant difference. Also it is slimmer though not shorter.
AF is faster on the Sigma absolutely no questions. I tested it today before I bought it definitely slower than HSM sadly but those 100gr and the opinions around here that it is a superb lens made me buy this instead of the Sigma.
Tough choice there Mike, keep em both?

And the did is done. I got a 50-135 from SRS today, no time to play with it though (battery went dead as I was trying it in the store) and the weather is dreadful so it will have to wait for a little while!
Feels very nice though and much lighter than the 50-150 just as I remembered when I Tried it a few weeks back.
Thank you all for your help
