I have read good things about that lens. A bit pricey, but if it will replace 3
other single-focal-length lenses, it's worth it. It looks good in the shot you
took here.

As a recall, over 10 years ago Pentax submitted a patent on a rangefinder

I was hoping that Cosina would eventually come out with a fixed lens digital

My overall feeling is the Pentax is stalled in R&D. There have been rumors of a
full-sized sensor Pentax, which would be wonderful for us who have Pentax
lenses designed for film (that would be ALL of my Pentax lenses except for the
40mm pancake). There is little that would entice me to move fr

I realize that there was a protracted thread on this that veered off course a
bit. Can anyone offer (in a sentence or two) why a person who has a K-7 would
want to or need to upgrade to a K-5? Would a K-5 be considered to have the
improvements of a K-x but in a much more durable body?

With memory cards as cheap as they are, I don't shoot in anything but RAW. I
never need a string of closely-timed images, so RAW is normal for me. Unless it
is overcast, I won't even think about shooting at midday. I know, it's sort of
a lazy attitude, but dawn and dusk are so much better for la
Are you kidding? It's obviously even greater than the self-preservation urge. I
think my wife won't notice that the camera I'm carrying says K10 on it instead
of the usual K100, but within minutes she busts me. And K5 looks a lot
different from K7. I'm a dead man.

Yeah, I didn't think I was being sexist with my statements. The fact is that,
when people are married, their money is THEIR money, not his money. My wife has
no interest whatsoever in photography, and when I acquire a piece of equipment,
she understands that it is just my hobby.

I assume that's to cover the cost for a person handing it to you. Still, it
seems silly.

Something with as few frills and choices as possible. And megapixels are
insignificant since I doubt that any of them will be making 11x14 prints.

I always use a card reader. So far, I haven't had any damage to the contacts

I was going to confidently recommend Essex in New Jersey, but a net search
shows that they went out of business. :-(

Doesn't KEH use (or own) something called Peachtree? I got a Fuji folder fixed
by a place in Atlanta with the word Peach in it.

I probably won't buy another Pentax body (I have the K-7 and H-5) until/unless
they come out with a FF body. I have so many lenses that are designed for full

their capabilities. I use the Pentax primarily for photogra
The Sony alpha 850 is a full size sensor with anti-shake.

My 28-80 2.8 Tokina zoom is built like a tank and is better with film than with
digital. The zooms that really seem to have gone up in quality (optical and
build) are the Sigmas and Tamrons, IMO. Since the Tokina is a gift, that trumps
paying for a Pentax, Tamron, or Sigma. :-)

Resist any temptation to load more than 36 exposures. It will scratch the film
unless you are using an ultra thin film such as H&W Control Pan film. I had
better luck with metal canisters with a snap on end than the plastic canisters
with a screw on end.
