There;s all this activity on the PF to find the next best camera, e.g. is the K01 good enough without the VF, what about Fuji and its issues, how about Sony and their lenses, Nikon, Canon etc., on and on.
Yesterday, i spent some zen-like hours stretching 4 printed K5 canvases and stapling them onto stretcher bars. I;ve got 4 more canvases coming in and some existing stock. A local wine merchant is letting me display my pictures for the month of April, and he provides the wine for the monthly art walk reception. He's got room for 10-12 of my pics which will be great. In May there is a promising juried show in a nearby town, etc.
2 of the pictures i stretched were recently picked (in print form) at a local club as 1st place in BW and 1st place in color categories. The BW picture is particularly nice, and at 20x30", looks as good at 1 foot as it does at 40 feet.
I'm going to let all the new cameras sort themselves out without my help
and spend more time, i hope, using the K5 - sure to be a classic we'll look back on with fondness. By the way, i hope Pentax does the Nikon thing of allowing the K5 to stay on shelves along with its replacement for several months.
