That is an awesome shot. Low key and color and it all works.Something a little different. A body painting event I went to yesterday.

Has there been any conclusion that SR can lead to somewhat softer images?Jono
You continue to get a great variety of great shots with that lens. My 'keeper rate' has certainly improved since I started using higher shutter speeds, e.g. 1/500th, if I can, with SR OFF. I see many of yours are at 1/320th, I assume you are in auto-iso mode 'fast' still?
I am in a quandary regarding a trip to Cornwall next week. Well, assuming it doesn't rain all week, whether to concentrate on using my K5 (with 18-135 and 43 ltd) or to go solo with my X100. Hmn, I don't think I'll be able to do that, it has to be both cameras!

Two little pancakes ready for their new sensor - it'll be in my mitts tomorrow. (Quite frankly the one thing I'm hoping not to hear any more is the K20-like Ka-chung every time I press the shutter.)I'll post my K5 pictures next year, when I buy one, promise ...
Tom....I am as curious as you are on that topic. I wish I had a spare day to go out and test it.Has there been any conclusion that SR can lead to somewhat softer images?
Thanks, Tom
Hi RoyKudos to all for the fine pics: horses, birds, bees, bears, landscapes, moody beauty, butterflies, green frogs...a digital menagerie...and (almost overlooked) the scarlet impatiens.Have you taken a moment to look at the stuff in the other forums? You'll really appreciate how good the Pentax K-5 images are after a quick gander.

Jono,. . . . Then, a few minutes later, with the same lens, you can take these:
Of course, we all know that the right answer is an IQ 180 and a tripod with fantastic lenses . . . . but I'm loving the fact that a K5 with a 5 times zoom is getting interesting shots time after time without getting in the way
Holy crap Jono......this picture is right out of a movie set (or history book)...and a nice conversion to boot.
Jono...you're right......that guy is a GIANT!!!!!HI Rich
some were bigger than others :ROTFL:
I found this right from the K10D. Back then I was looking to substitute a Canon DSLR and began to like what was being posted on the web taken with Pentax cameras, made me opt for Pentax instead - never looked back. I do have a D700 for full-frame work with my old manual focus Nikkors and a G1 as the grab-and-go but for the rest it's the Pentax colours I go for. All I was waiting for was a body that didn't made that awful Ka-Chung sound when shooting with it and it seems the K-5 has done away with this, I'll know this afternoon for sure ...... but it's more than that. I have thought it from the start: regardless of the absolute qualities of the different lenses in terms of sharpness etc the K5 images have a richness and tonality to them that seems to me hard to find elsewhere.
Its still here. I gues I wont loose any more money if I sell it 4 weeks earlier or later.Tom....I am as curious as you are on that topic. I wish I had a spare day to go out and test it.
Have you decided to hang on to the K-5 for a bit?
Hope you do.......R
