Different sensor...this camera doesn't have the X-trans type of sensor its siblings have. It has the Bayer type of sensor found in most digital cameras.

Why can't they both win? :) Nice pix!

"dead medium"?
They're opening a lab because the demand is there. Sounds to me like the medium is quite alive.

The film, absolutely!

Great shots! Thanks for sharing.

DPR and the forums here have always been more gear-centric. You'll find plenty of more photo-centric Web sites and forums elsewhere.

Interesting.

Nice! The window is my fave.

I'd like to see a 135mm prime. Or at least a 100mm.

I've got the A Series 100mm f/4 Dental Macro. It's okay, but not great.

Been waiting for the 40mm to come out. Waiting to see some samples, but now very tempted to invest in Fuji. Also like to see something in the 150mm to 200mm equivalent range.

Another vote for a 28mm, or even 27mm. Make it Limited, WR, FF and 2.0. Might as well dream big.

Yes, sad to see they (and Ricoh) aren't included on the beta. Perhaps they'll be added later, but why were they left out to begin with?

My K-5 IIs has locked up once since I got it in late October.

Another reason I need to go Gimp.

I prefer my photos sharp and thus always shoot with two hands.

If it had a 40mm lens, I'd snap it up in a second!

I'd go with the 18-135 for the convenience factor. I've never used any of those lenses, but from seeing plenty of samples on the Web, the image quality of the 18-135 blows away both the 18-55 and...

ANY camera one uses to make a living with can be considered a pro camera. K5 certainly has most of the specs of a pro level camera, if not all.

K-5 IIs locked up twice since I got it in late October. Hope it's not going to get worse with time.
