To me, it's gotta be Heie's tutorial on handheld shooting stances... very original and to the point, definitely a must read!

I'm with LensBeginner. The handheld tutorial has to be among the best there is. Comprehensive and thorough, covering everything.

Making the Most of Long Exposure Handhelds - Introduction - In-Depth Articles

[kiwi_jono]

Wow, its kind of hard to pick, there are a number of outstanding articles.

I'm picking this one: Pentax-DA 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 Review - Conclusion | PentaxForums.com Reviews
Simply because it does a great job of putting the lens strengths and weaknesses in context (its been slammed often enough for its weak corner sharpness but it has quite a number of strengths too).

Runners up:
* The Evolution of the Pentax K-mount. I now actually understand the mount!
* The Sigma 18-35 review. Epic content and highlighted the AF issue with the lens (although apparently not a problem for all copies).

[Giklab]

I have to agree with LensBeginner here.

Although I'm sure there are many other excellent articles in the database, but I just haven't gotten around to reading them all yet.

There are many goo reads on this forum. It is a hard selection, but I genuinely enjoyed this thread:

I was going to say: Making the Most of Long Exposure Handhelds - Introduction - In-Depth Articles because I love reading Heie's articles but since a lot of people already mentioned it I am going to go with The Evolution of the Pentax K-mount - Articles and Tips | PentaxForums.com

[Class A]

The "DA lenses on Full Frame: Test Shots thread" article/thread will be very useful when the FF model eventually materialises.

[redcat]

I'd choose : Metz 52 AF-1 Flash Review - Introduction | PentaxForums.com Reviews
very easy for me to follow and get the best out of the flash

Thanks to Yvon Bourque (not Borque) for sponsoring this giveaway.

I would definitely recommend The Evolution of the Pentax K-mount - Articles and Tips | PentaxForums.com and https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/54-pentax-lens-articles/110657-how-use-me...k-x-k-7-a.html

This has helped me more to understand my lenses than anything else the charts are great and free I like free knowledge.

[Mikesul]

There have been so many great articles, guides, reviews that it is hard to pick just one. Alex Jansen's tutorial on hand holding is a classic. However, the recent Flash Guide was unexpected, really helpful and extremely well done. So I vote for it.

When I bought my first DSLR, my Pentax K10D (still have, still shooting with it) I bought Yvon Bourque's book on the K10D. I learned a lot from that tome and still have it and still refer to it. Well written.

I bought a Q-7 in December, partly for the purpose of using it with one of my existing telephoto lenses to provide a good birding camera. I spent the winter taking pictures of birds around our backyard feeder while convincing myself that none of my current lenses was up to the task. I used this collection of user reviews to pick a new lens that can do the job (within the limits of my budget, of course).
