Hello from England!

Great to be here! I've shot them all over time - I am very old! From $10 point and shoots to $3500 Sony's and Nikon 810 and 850 DSLR's. That said, NOTHING compares IMO to the experience of shooting the PENTAX K-5 and K-3. (Never had a KP or K1 though!! - maybe soon??) Hope to contribute interestingly here.

Welcome! And interesting perspective - those are really nice cameras. I really enjoyed my K-3 original and now K-3 III. So, naturally I agree with your findings 🙂 Excited to hear your thoughts and see your pictures.

Thanks James. I'm taking delivery of a K-5 with a 67 shutter count this week and hope to post some images taken with it soon!

Oh nice, a limited edition silver one at that. Are you getting that 18-135 too? That was my first lens after the 18-55 kit and I shot with it for a number of years. I really liked it. It's not outstanding, but very nice.
