I have the K1ii, it's pretty hard to beat, as with all Pentax DSLR's there something that feels right with on in the palm of your hand.

We have a large bread factory on the edge of our town. It always smells of baking bread. Lovely smell. So nice that I have considered a career change!

Odd thing is that in my last years of working, the building I worked out of was right next to a Wonder Bread factory bakery. In my 8 years working next door to this large factory bakery, I never once smelled the lovely aroma that I associate with baking bread .
When I was a kid my grandparents' house was about a half mile from a DeMonte plant that made, among other products, ketchup. The smell was unbelievably mouth watering.

About the only redeeming feature of autumn is that the prickly pears are ripe.

Autumn, in this climate, is the most beautiful time of year. I like the change of seasons. I welcome all 4 of them, but none more so than Autumn. It brings with it a certain peace and tranquility.

Hi Mr Dragon
Yes the feel in the hand is very nice.
Do I get the feeling that you are also after the DFA 50 ?

It sure does. Now would that be a Norwegian Snake ? Do they have snakes in the Scandinavian countries ?
Our politicians aren't half bad, really. Well some of them aren't. But then we have lawyers...

Right, snakes. We have one venomous kind, the common European viper. The bite isn't much more painful than a bee sting, so nothing to fear unless you're allergic. Gramps got bitten a lot. Once when coming back from working in the woods he complained over an itchy back, and when he pulled off his shirt a viper fell out

Looks like a pretty snake. Somewhat less trouble than a puff-adder I think!

Don't know about anyone else, but I still won't buy a K-3, K-3II, K-3III, K-3IV, K-3V, K-3VI, . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
QuoteOriginally posted by rod_grant Quote
That's a big call Racer.
You may be committing to not buy something 10 or 15 years done the track. By then the K-3VI might be exactly what you want/need and you have forfeited the opportunity because of your own words.
Let's see what he does when they release the K-3nievel.
