slap a plastic fantastic on a K-50 and it is pretty much a point-&-shoot:






I love my plastic fantastics!

^ That top one is lovely!

My 28,000 shot black K-50 is starting to give me dark frames at times. I have an aperture solenoid coming this way, though. I do enjoy shooting my K-50, but that aperture issue makes me upset, since I have to fix something that Hoya probably cheaped out on in the first place. The red K-50 is still working fine & hopefully stays that way, but I'm almost tempted to order another aperture solenoid for it, just in case. Don't want to replace the K-50's with any current Pentax bodies 'cause that upcoming APS-C flagship will determine the future of Pentax for me. I do have a feeling that it's going to address some of the things that Pentax has been lagging on for a while & that it's going to come with at least 50% more excellence & win.

thank you...


the only issue I've had with my K-50 (aside from any issues stemming from the loose nut attached to the camera) seems to be lens-related: it does not like my SMC A 50/1.4 when I shoot wide open with it...


other than that - no issues at all....
