I voted yes! Plus I just bought two lenses 2days ago!! Went and bought me a FA77 limited (got it for a pretty good price brand new, $6190HKD = £495 compared to £750!) and the DA10-17mm Fisheye.
I'll soon be getting the DA21 limited or the DA15 limited and DA*18-135mm in coming months...but first in the line is the battery grip for my K-5!

Thanks for the reply.
I was afraid mines was defective haha.

Thanks again frogfish

I received a new K-5 body 2 months ago because of the sensor stain and i just noticed that when the camera turns on (or select dust removal from the menu) i could hear the high pitch sound (assuming it must be the dust removal system) on my 1st body, while the new body i cant hear this distinctive sound anymore (even when i put my ear next to the body)
is this normal?

p.s the 1st body i bought was pretty much from the first batch of K-5 (bought it 2weeks after its launch date)
2nd body was manufactured from feb 2011.

Shot with Pentax K5 18mm-55mm kit lens f11 iso800 exposer time 8sec Hoya R72 IR filter

This was shot inside Botanic Gardens in Glasgow, was quite a dull day when i shot this.

thank you very much

I just bought myself a AF360 flash unit, was wondering if i can use the flash for trailing curtain sync? if so, how do i set it?
I've searched and it says the AF360 certainly has it.
using the AF360 with K-5.

thanx

(sorry for the mobile link, on the iPhone atm)
Some of the photos have been uploaded on to my flickr, will uploaded more later when I've down sized the jpeg.

First time taking photos in a night club with a DSLR.
Also it's good practice for me since I wanna find a part time job doing night club photography while studying photography.

Please let me know what you think^^
much appreciated.

Equipment used: Pentax K-5 w/35mm f2.4 & Nissin Di466 flash w/built in diffuser.

Hi
Nice to meet you all!
Finally decided to join up after lurking around the forum for a few month.
I bought myself a Pentax k-5 around early Novemeber as a birthday present for myself haha. It's not my first pentax, my first is a K1000.
Previously I used a Panasonic G1 and decided it's time to upgrade to a better camera. I did choose between Nikon D7000 and the K-5, after a hands on with both cameras, I picked the K-5 over the D7000 and am glad I did ^_^

My current equipment are K-5 w/18-55mm kit lens 35mm f2.4 lens I bought on tues, 28mm f2.8 manual lens, Olympus E-P2 w/17mm f2.8 lens, 14-45mm pani lens and 55-200mm pani lens.

Am currently a photography student in Glasgow.
