LOL. I don't see how this could be a welcome _back_. Ricoh GXR is still my everyday take everywhere camera. Pentax K-5 will remain my camera of choice whenever DSLR specialties are required.
I should say that I am 100% happy about my choice to sell DA* 16-50/2.8 and replace it with a pair of Sigmas - 17-70/2.8-4.5 and 24-60/2.8. I get both wider range (1st lens) and speed (2nd lens) when I need it. What I am most surprised about is the flash - 500+ shots on single set of Eneloops... That's not what I would have expected. Especially so as I did not notice any degradation of speed of between the shots readiness of it. Also in terms of AF, I don't feel like I need to upgrade any further from K-5... The center point was just fine even for that rather dark conditions. I did miss several shots due to the area that is occupied by the sensor - it focused on something that probably lied within the same area (in terms of projection of real world onto AF sensor plane), but I would highly doubt that K-5II AF system addressed that. Already started going over the photographs. Processed some 60+ of them. Everything is how I would have expected it it be.
