I guess I got lucky with my K-5. I did eventually part with in in favor of the K-5II and IIs. I still use them when I travel. They (and the DA lenses) are smaller and lighter than my K-1 and its lenses, and I am still very pleased with the image quality. The K-5 was produced by Hoya, the II and IIs by Ricoh. The Hoya version was notorious for cheapness. Ricoh, to their credit, fixed that.
