Hi Darren -
Thanks for looking into this. The mutual exclusion of features seems to
be a puzzle on the Q and other cameras. It is nowhere as bad as my Nikon
P6000 which won't even let you auto bracket in RAW mode, let's you shoot
at ISO 6400 (but only in JPG and only at 3 MP) etc... By
Agreed. A wide angle lens would exaggerate the proportions of these
already plenteous posteriors.

This fellow seems to be pretty high on the K-5 2s. Even comes up with a

Cotty, I both did and still occasionally do use this adapter. It's not the
Pentax one,
and it does stick! The trick is to use something like a nail file or small

to release the locking tab, at about 8o-clock on the adapter to release it; the

That is a terrific image, Ken. You really nailed the focus with a
shallow depth of field. Super!

It's not bad overall. But compared to some of the best cameras it's not great n
low light, and it has trouble locking on a moving object -- which would suggest
it's a bit slow. It's better than any of the other Pentax DSLRs, save for the
K-7, which seems to be about the same. It's good enough
Also sold on e-bay. Cameta has 6 left as I write this.
You've got my attention now (currently in acquisition mode) Any one have
experience with it with Manual Focus K-mount lenses?
Is it annoying?

When I bought the K10D I didn't think to set the date/time, and when I
finally noticed it was wrong it took 4 attempts over about 4 months to
get it right.
I know Exiftool can change dates like 5 years, 10 months, 2 days, 10
hours and 48 minutes
exiftool -DateTimeOriginal+=5:10:2 10:48:0
In terms of what I gather(ed) from the web since Nikon D800(e) came out,
Nikon's pixels are of approximately the same quality as those of K-5 (in
terms of things such as DxOMark measurement, etc, but slightly more than
twice the number.
So, in terms of picture quality that is measure(bat)ed
