Re: Probably will be the same issues with the K-50 too

Gear list is meaningless. And actually I am ashamed at how much varied manufacturing and lens EXIF's I can produce in the past 5 years lol.

But its enough to still say I really like the results I get out of my K-50 and the cheap primes. I find looking at previous photos in Lightroom makes for far better comparisons than going off sentiments and memory. For example one standout performance is the Canon 55-250 tele's...this lens really had really terrific IS and IQ on the Canon Rebels...much better than the Pentax 50-200 WR.

I don't think people keep that lens around for its image quality - at least not most copies. There are other reasons for owning and shooting it. And once you take weather sealing out of the equation (i.e. compare to the non-WR version), the Canons are a fair bit more expensive.But I want to sound the off-topic alarm here because I can see how before long we'll be discussing how the Pentax 55-300 wins on several criteria over any (other) consumer 70-300 or 55-300.

There's no bad bokeh, just background that's too close.
