Re: Pentax k-70 - damn! now I'm in trouble!
I don't remember whether you have a laptop or not, but you might be able to use a program called "PK_Tether" to connect your K5 to your computer & use the computer as a remote. It's freeware/donation ware; use at your own risk. I took a quick look at it, but it doesn't include a user's guide, so I don't know yet how to hook it up. I'll let you know if/when I ever figure it out.

Ann, have you considered plugging in a HDMI monitor (or TV) into the K5 and using live view for studio work? All you need is the right cable (very cheap on ebay) and no more sore neck - I know my life improved dramatically when I started using a screen on the K3 and I wasn't always bending over a viewfinder.

Re: Pentax k-70 - damn! now I'm in trouble!
Dale - only been using Pentax for 50 years :-) When I finally decided to slowly transition to digital from my sweet LX, I I got a little p&S Canon that had the flip screen.. then went to a Powershot pro-1 (while still doing a lot of film photography) I took it on a long cross country trip in 2005. Loved it foreverything .. stealth shooting, ground level shooting teeny tiny plants ...etc.. It will be difficult enough for me to put together the funds for the body anytime soon... I too have a golden oldy prime 50mm smc but it is a mess and I use it as loupe . Still use a 28 mm occasionally, but the DA18-55 will have to do me for quite a while. ann On 7/5/2018 8:15 PM, Dale H.

Yesterday I had to photograph a couple of horizontal boards in an electronic instrument. This is a big beast and it was a lot easier to hold the K-70 above the workbench and look at the screen than to maneuver the instrument so the boards would be vertical and facing forwards. I have also used the screen in the field when shooting something in the distance with the camera held just above ground level, looking underneath some obstructing bushes.. Dale H.
