Yes, sam its me. You need to have a dedicated macro lens for sure and extension tube if possible for higher magnification. and if its night macro, some additional torchlight beside flashlight.

Nice!
Like this one

If you can sell off the K30, then the K3 is the best one out there.
But on a budget, I do think K5IIs is great value if you do not need the improvements of the K3.

thanks for the recommendations!
probably get a K3... doesn't seem justified to get K5II now that the K3 has so much improvements :bsmilie:

Tried out new 43mm today on the streets.


f/3.5, ISO100, 1/50s


f/1.9, ISO200, 1/60s


f/1.9, ISO400, 1/15s

Liking it so far.

I almost can't believe that last shot came out sharp at 1/15 on a 43mm handheld. All hail in-body SR.

I haven't used the K5II but just using it for a while I can tell you that if you use select AF point... The new interface is much better.. Don't have to stupidly wait and press OK for 2 seconds to switch between select AF point and changing WB, timer, etc..

And of course, the dual card slots..

Shooting in the rain?

K30; DA15ltd

I've tried 28mm equivalent and its always just short of being wide enough for scenes in SGP (ie. packed; modern housing/architectural)
But the DA15ltd seems 'just right' for me to usually manage to squeeze in enough.
Of course it they made a 12mm prime, it would be much better.
