I bet that it looks something like this: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157623241823983/ And, I bet that Walt has some similar K-x photos lying around. The short answer is that it is about time to start saving up for a K-5. If you can't afford a K-5, look for a used K-r. The K-x was a huge performance increase over the K-x, and the K-r corrected a couple of important missing features (like focus point indicators). > > My shots turn out fine, so the obvious issue here is that my 6 year > old eye piece is a mess.
