I don't think you would have seen much difference in DR with the K5. The histogram shows very little highlight or shadow blocking which indicates that it doesn't have an extreme range. No surprise there really, a lot of normal daylight shots simply don't have a huge dynamic range.

Your are probably right. It´s just that some of the bright areas at the bottom of the picture look blown-out. Or maybe it´s just my crappy screen.

There isn't an f1.7 100mm lens in the Pentax catalogue (many wish there was!) so which lens was it? The M100 f2.8 perhaps?

Foolish me! Yes it is the M100 f2.8!
My mind was on my M50 f1.7 when I wrote this
