Given the low cost of USB card readers, I am surprised to read of anyone who does not have one.
Most PC's have them built in now so I'd have thought who really uses them anymore

Sigma 17-70mm for me 90% of the time. If I think my fiancee may want to take pictures then I put the 18-250 on my second body and let her use that which means I will use one of my other lenses such as 12-24 or Sigma 100-300.

Oddly enough the 17-70 isn't my favourite lense, it's just the most useful.

I like the quality of primes but can't stand changing lenses only ever use those at home or when I've taken my camera out just to use them

I wouldn't have thought so as usually they are most effective when at 90 degrees from the light source.

Try it and see?

Another GX20 owner here that's been putting off an upgrade, though I have been looking a bit more recently.

Can I ask what people think of the autofocus on the K5 as this is something Pentax have always had a bit of a kicking for.

Ta.

edit - I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet unless I'm being blind!

I'm afraid not, Walkeja. Although FF lenses made for Pentax film cameras will work on digital K-mounts, the DA lenses are specifically designed for APS-C and most wouldn't work with a FF sensor.
I'd imagine Pentax would implement a 'crop' mode on any FF camera which would still allow you to use DA lenses similar to the way Nikon does with it's DX crop mode on the D700.

Edit - Beaten to it by Pentaxophile!

I have a Tamrac Rally 5 and am very happy with it, it's very comfortable and it doesn't look too much like a camera bag.

They do come in different sizes as well if you don't need one quite this big.

I've only ever used Blurb and have always been very happy with them so I won't be trying anywhere new

from the register

I haven't tried a 'Q' but from what I've read it seems fair?
