I see. So it can't work completely stand-alone. Thanks!

Nice KPM2! But please explain me, how the CiF can work stand-alone. Has the shutter to be engaged in the Self-timer mode?

Very nice pictures Ben. Of course, you have there all the exotic plants, not like we in Canada :-)

Again taken with my K-S1 and the "flower lens". Thanks for looking.

Thanks Valeriu, but I wished it was my garden :-)

Thanks Joe, Dean, Btw, don't you know the name of the third flower from the end?

After initial euphoria from buying a new camera I grabbed my trusty K-S1 with the "flower lens" (Pentax-A 35-105) and went around the house for the flowers shooting. And here are the results. ...

That's really very nice. But try to gather them (not only shoot them :-) ), after drying they are perfect for making tea. A lot of C-vitamin.

Hi Doug, I happen to find the link to your pictures right the way you posted it. So, we (my wife & me) spent almost 20 min watching them. It's a nice thought rugged part of Canada. And we noticed ...

Yes Mark, it's blessing to have such choices, but a curse at the same time. Because what to do with the "unwanted" tools, specially if they work flawlessly? The resale value is so poor that you ...

Hi Pete, Well, I am retired and as not collecting governmental pension I had to think twice whether to buy another camera. But it was just one-day deal on Amazon.ca, when the KP price was 40% off, ...

Thanks Brian!

Hi Pete, Yes, I know that feeling and there are many similarly feeling Pentax users. That should even more appeal on the manufacturer to stop his customers to worry. But it's not happening. Just ...

Thanks Omelko. Well, that flower's middle part was lit by sun, that's what attracted me to take the picture.

One moment, please. If the subject is let's say 1" deep, isn't it better to shoot it with for example 90mm macro lens (i.e. I have this Tamron) than with the 35mm macro lens? Assume that both ...

bladerunner6, Yes I swore that I would never ever discuss anything with you, but I couldn't resist after seeing your long ode about how DS21 and myself are wrong. OK., here are my thoughts. You do ...

Doug, you have the DA 20-40 don't you! I can imagine that absolute elegance.

Thanks Lawrence. You know, I has been basically happy with my old Pentax bodies, but couldn't resist to get the KP when it was such a good deal on Amazon.ca. While the K-x and K-S1 are very good ...

Still testing/running up my new KP. I have found the DA 35/2.8 Macro Ltd. lens almost perfectly matching this camera, though the DA 20-40 might be even more suitable. Anyway, those two pictures ...

Thanks mrp. Yes, the new camera is excellent, though I still like my older cameras (K-x and K-S1) and will be definitely using all of them.
