purchased in 12/2014, new from B&H, she now has over 35,000 actuations...

Let's hope it hangs in there a while longer

This one is SOOC, with the HD DA 40mm.

Just received a new-to-me K-50 in the mail today. Couple of quick and dirty test shots with the 50-200mm kit lens at 200mm and wide open.

I think I'm going to be pleased...

While I miss my K-50, I can still look back at some of the amazing pictures I took with it.

Here's a nice little sample

...and your now ex-camera lives on in this thread

It's got over 35K actuations but it's working flawlessly so far, thank God.

Here are just some test images that I processed in Darktable from RAWs, but this morning I took a bunch of pictures in JPEG mode with my usual settings and the SOOC pictures are gorgeous! They are as good as what I get from my K-S1. I know the K-S1 is 20MP and doesn't have a low pass filter, but I think the whole thing with the low pass filter robbing sharpness is just overblown. It might show up in bench tests but in real life, it doesn't make any difference.

These are both taken with my Tokina MC 24 2.8, first one at f/2.8 and second at f/8.

that 16Mp sensor really has a sweet spot and renders colors amazingly well - it took me quite a while to adjust to the K-3 after the K-50...
