I'm still in awe of your photos- they were one of the reasons I went with Pentax in the first place!
I ended up purchasing a DA* 16-50 from a fellow forum member, which just arrived today. I'm heading out camping (car camping, not backpacking) this weekend to take some test shots- and hopefully to find out that I got a good copy!
Otherwise... I think it's back to the drawing board, with either a 12-24mm, a DA 14, or the DA 21.
I'm so torn between all the options- and people say the Pentax line-up isn't deep... I beg to differ!
Thank you.
That is perhaps one of the finest compliments I have been given in quite a while.
Yep I held on to the DA21, DA40, FA43 and DA70 (have an A24 and sigma 105 macro too) and a DS, which is quite likely to be exchanged for a Km, if I am able to find one body only at a decent price somewhere...
FOr personal shooting I still like the pentax system a lot and when I need ultra compact it is priceless.
Originally posted by zorobabel I haven't had any issues with my k100d while hiking/backpacking. I do not find condensation a problem, it's not like it goes from a freezing tent to a hot humid jungle in 2 minutes. I've never kept it in my sleeping bag, not even bellow 32F. I've had great experiences with eneloops in the cold. I don't worry about it, I just put the camera in a holster bag and to the feet it goes.
No worries about cold weather, my K10D have done -46C for hours and I dare say it worked more reliably than I did at that temperature, especially after a couple of hours
your fine motor skills definitely decrease after a couple of hours in weather like that.
Sure the LCD did get a little slow at that temperature and the batteries froze down fast, but it worked and pulled through.
