K-5IIs vs K-50

**AggieDad** · 01-29-2015, 11:13 AM

Okay. I pulled the trigger and ordered the K-5IIs along with the 18-135mm lens. I will order the 55-300mm lens next month after Momma cools down a little.

Thanks to everyone for your input and thoughts. This helped tremendously - both with knowledge and also peace of mind when I heated up the Visa.

Well, I received my K-5IIs today. Tomorrow I take my first photography class.

Thanks to all for your advice.

Congrats! You'll like it.
Just FYI, generally I use TAv mode. Set aperture for your purpose, adjust shutter to keep ISO in a comfortable range. Mix and match based on conditions.
