Newly converted

I finally jumped ship from the world of Pentax, having been there since my film days, and bought the D800 with the 24-120mm f/4 lens to start (I'm notorious for LBA). I obviously haven't taken a lot of pictures yet, still learning my way around the camera, but I really quite like it and the images are freakin' huge!

So why jump ship? It was a hard decision since I do own two Pentax K-5 cameras and a boat load of lenses and other gear, but I finally decided that Pentax were really being honest when they said that no full frame camera was coming and nothing had changed on that score. The new K-5s look great, no shocker there, but I really want to do more (personal) studio oriented shooting and so the lack of a full frame option coupled with the, admittedly, anemic Pentax flash system and I gave up.

From my first test shots... My not always willing better half.
