Re: Size in Real Life
I'm close to taking the plunge and buying a K5 with probably a 18-135 and a 43 to start. I currently shoot a Canon 5D2. I can do the math:
The K5 is 30% smaller than a 5D2 and the K5 with the 18-135 is 28% lighter than a 5D2 with a 24-105. However subjectively have much smaller is this? How much smaller a pack to carry? I'm looking for opinions not facts. There are no K5's to see or touch anywhere near where I live (Tampa, FL).

HI There Jim
It's hard to quantify these things, and of course the 18-135 is neither as fast as your 24-105, nor as wide (much longer though).
I'm in a similar situation to Carl, the A900 doesn't get taken out too much at the moment, because it's so much easier to take the K5.
I usually go out with a K5 over my shoulder with the 18-135, either the 35 f2.8 macro or the 100 f2.8 macro, and the Sigma 10-20 f4 (seems to be a nice lens, but it hasn't seen much use yet). It's an easy bag with a pretty big range.
all the best
