Just looking through here again.....if you can find a camera that delivers better IQ than the K5 is capable of doing, you better buy the damn thing, because it is a rare item! Many of the shots here are just amazing!

Not amazing...but she is lovely! K5

The quality of this thread makes me proud to own a K-5.

Similar to one I posted a while back, but this time with a twist. I've been wanting to try this for a while, and finally had the chance recently!

And another one using the same idea

Quality! Great idea and I like the second shot the most.

One from my Panagor 90mm, which I really should use more often!

A absolutely love the Malkovich and night to day transition shots. Really cool. (The reflection of Malkovich in the smaller droplet is brilliant.)

Just got Silver Efex, here's a quick conversion. DA35 Macro. I just can't get over how sharp this thing is.

A couple of lake shots.

This is a fantastic thread, thanks to all you guys for over an hour of good viewing.
Yesterday we had this fantastic sky, all shot from the doorway. Exif intact.

Shot this last week on my 35 Macro. Processed with Silver Efex and burned in the sky. I'm still amazed with how much I can bring out of the K-5 sensor.

I like it, but I'm not sure if I like the slightly crooked look....also, the rocks are a little cut on the bottom...maybe a better shot on a slightly wider lens?

Using the fast shutter for fun.

(Just found out if you already have SR switched of the K5 doesn't ask for a focal length when you attach an A type lens)
