Originally posted by ggreenw I have always heard the same thing and was prepared to forgo to k-5 in favor of a k-r with a nice lens or two, and then I started reading all this stuff about front focus issues that scared me off a little. Theoretically I can afford both but the k-5 would really stretch my budget if I added a prime lens (which I really want to do). It looks like with the B&H deal that if you buy the kit lens and the body separately that it is about $50 cheaper so I was thinking about doing that...
I was deciding between a KR and K7. In the end I went KR. I know on the forums the FF thing seems like a pretty big issue and I don't want to down play it but I have never had a problem with it.
That being said I have only taken about 1000 shots with it thus far and primarily manual focus in low light (which in most cases are my tungsten light situations) I'm sure there will be a situation where tungsten light will be an issue and I'll be totally annoyed but it hasn't happened yet... cross my fingers.
