You're right of course. I'll admit to pulling the camera out from under my waterproof and grabbing a shot without really checking the settings. Although the K-3 is weather-proof, the FA43 isn't, and I've just had it fixed!

I could have spent quite a bit of time wandering around here taking photographs, but time was short.

I would like to see more lens accessories now, like extension tubes and teleconverters, to complement the new lenses. Also a tilt-shift lens; the Samyang one is very good but it would be good to see what Pentax could do.
Yes please... Or even better, a series of them in different focal lengths...

Super shot but I'd crop the black bit off the bottom. K.

I set up my tripod outside and focus on the car's number plate. Worked a dream when I was sorting out my FA31... No jigsaws, chopsaws or MDF needed.

With a zoom, you might have to compromise. If you use the long end most, get that set-up and put up with errors at the other end. If you use all the lengths, then trying it at the short end, middle and long end then picking a compromise value. Remember to defocus between each shot.
