Re: The K-S1 and the 18-135 lens

Lawrence,

I understand your point. Well, I am retired as well, but instead of 3 dogs I have got my wife, two kids and 5 grandchildren. So, I need to think twice how to spend my spare money . All my cameras, until my first digital (the Canon A20) had to be set up manually, so I wouldn't not have any problem to use, even my newest K-S1 in the manual mode. But I do not see any, really any reason why not to rely on the exposure selection made by my camera. If I need to apply some adjustment, that one wheel is a perfect way to do so. Only long exposures, like the night shots, are better when I manually set the exposure parameters myself, based on my experience from the past.

As I wrote before, I like to shoot videos as well. I have a dedicated camcorder (Sony CX12) for that purpose, but I would very much prefer to have just one, universal camera/camcorder, especially for traveling. That's why, if I ever acquire another camera, it will be one of those mirrorless. But I still will love my Pentax camera(s).

Regards,

Peter
