Moving from the K-r to the K30 has been interesting. 1) The in-hand feel is, to me, no big deal. But they are quite different in fit.
2) The white balance is slightly different between the two. Our FL lights are two different makes so the lamps, though they have the same K rating, have a slightly different tone. (The original set has about a year life on it, so it might be age affecting that as well.) Add to that the camera differences and we're resetting the WB on each when moving between the two sites. Understatement alert: This is one area where I greatly appreciate digital over film. 3) The K30's response to the remote control is quite slow. A lot slower than the K-r. Still, it performs well and in a harsh environment the sealing should extend its life. On a personal note ... my K-x has sold and I'm getting the K5 tomorrow. For $800 it's coming with the F50/1.7 and Sigma 70-300 DG lens. The 50/1.7 will be for sale right away. The Stigma -- I'll have to check it out first and see how it performs. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
