Actually, I never really cared for the K-30 design myself, and like the K-50 much better.

Some people don't mind the plastic feel and flimsier buttons on the Nikon, but I do.  This also applies to non-pro Nikon lenses, they feel pretty flimsy to me. The Nikon is still fairly sturdy, but...

Indeed, as a company, Ricoh is actually larger than Nikon.

cares about build quality ?  I've looked at the recent K5ii review and compared the build quality score with the Nikon D7100.  Of the two, the Nikon gets a slightly better score, which I hardly...

Are you certain you enabled the cable release in the Menu Options ?d  Don't have a K5ii, but the K-01 requires the remote to be enabled, I'd assume it's the same for cable release perhaps.

Hipper ? Who in Pentax said it was hipper ? At last we see some consistency in the Pentax line instead of this hodgepodge of designs. Do Nikon/Canon/Sony think they need to be "hip" ? Certainly...

Ditto; pretty much the same reaction  :-) I agree that any LCD viewing in bright light isn't very good, not just the K-01. I have the EX-1, which OLED is about the best you'll find on the market,...

There's a decent manual lenses in any FL from 16mm to 1200mm, can you narrow it down ?

I have no doubt that some sellers have multiple e-bay accounts and bid on their own items to jack up the selling price ! Roger

Almost every lockup I ever experienced (not K5 though) have been caused by the SD card used.  One card may work perfectly on one camera, but not another.  I have the very occasional lockup that is...

True; I would think though that were the profits enormous, Pentax would already have a FF DSLR camera.  Obviously the margin is narrow enough that it has to think twice about it, i.e. they see the...

Based on the most recent sales statistics I've seen, Canon/Nikon outsells Pentax 10:1.  APS-C in those brands outsells FF 10:1.  Hence, Pentax FF sales aren't going to be very high in relation.

Half that price would be more like it.  This lens isn't so outstanding (according to the few test we've seen), with a rather simple design, as to warrant top dollars.  It's design suggests a much...

IQ is not a consideration in choosing between either lenses.  In term of FL, these are like Apple and Orange.  70mm = 105 equivalent, 100mm = 150 equivalent, wich is not a as useful a FL IMO. ...

I see you recovered some of the highlights from your last post (Green Green with Pentax K05), looks better that way.

Really ? I'm exited :-)

That's as good a prediction as that one !

The problem isn't the island, it's the blown up sky.  This is a situation where a Neutral Graduated Filter was necessary to balance the Sky with the Ground.  Would your exposure be better balanced,...

It begs the question, where you Ghostbusting ?  :-)  Nicely done, very impressive sky.
