I always envied Nikon F100 viewfinders compared to the PZ-1p and MZ-S viewfinders. Had digital not come along I would have switched to Nikon. I like my K5 though. My only problem with the K5 is that in bright light it is difficult to read the viewfinder info. I love the interface otherwise. What makes it for me with Pentax now are the 16-50 and 50-135 f2.8s. The K5 also functions well with the FA 50 1.4 and FA 50. 2.8 macro.
