Christmas Super Deals on K5 - $12xx from Shops Now!


hi guys, i had finally reserved my K-5 with 18-135 kit lens, and will be collecting this weekend! i'm excited.

What are the things that i should look out for?

should i buy a spare battery or something?

how much does a screen protector cost at the shops?

GGS screen from OP should cost between $12-$15

Spare Battery is a must

Make sure after you power up the shutter count is ok. Check for signs of usage before. (JUst kidding) New ones should not have been used.

Sell your D800 and return to the dark side:bsmilie: You can make some money from D800 and stil have a lower price for K5. New Pentax body is coming soon with better technology and features;p

Choose K5 not only because it is really value for money, also cause better to get new gear I guess, something that is yours....

Yes, I started out with the K20D, DA*16-50 and did not use flash.

Your setup is good enough for shooting an event. Set the Metz to Auto instead of P-TTL as it sometimes is not accurate. Your 1-50 set to about F3.2-4.0 for shooting people. I have not had bad photos with this range of aperture. Try it at home or in the void deck and you will see why.
