I really want to stick with Pentax long term as I’ve now accumulated so many k mount lenses - but many of the reviews comment that you don’t really see a huge difference in autofocus performance using older SDM lenses, which is a shame )
Because the fault lies with the lens SDM, not the camera body. Reviews using the newer lenses (or even the older screw drive ones) show a very marked improvement in performance. There is also a marked improvement in the use of manual lenses! It is a bit like fitting performance tyres to a moped's wheels, it doesn't really matter how good the tyres are if you only have a 49cc engine...

Is this "post a pair" week or something and I missed it?

Yes, lovely pair!

I suspect that is one feature I'll never use!

Oh, my local. Lovely photos (as always).

I've been happy using 6400 with a bit of noise reduction in Lightroom. Given I wouldn't take the K20D above 400, or the K3 above 1600, that seems great.

Selecting the option shows a crop overlay in the OVF

The crop overlay (29) entirely covers all the AF points.

But what is the point? What does the overlay represent? Why would you use it?

Beautiful! I only have the ES myself, and I am planning one day to send it in for CLA and start using it
I'm very fond of mine. It isn't one of the "classic" Pentax screw mounts like the SP, but there is something about it I really like.

What a lovely pair! I've very fond of my ES / ESII combo. I must give them another run out.

I had to settle for a mahogany and brass quarter-plate Sanderson I picked up at our local scout troop jumble sale.

Because I wanted one when I was a teenager and now I can afford it?
