Win a Pentax eBook - Giveaway!

**k0og** · 07-27-2015, 07:22 AM

I have found the lens and camera reviews helpful. I recently upgraded from my trusty old K100DS to a K5. After studying the reviews and sample photos (as well as experimenting with some RAW images that others have posted), I determined that the K5 is all I needed, and there was no need for me to spend more money on a more current body. I'm extremely satisfied with the K5! It has not made me a better photographer, but has made it easier to get the results I envision when I take the photos. The review is here: Pentax K-5 - Pentax K-mount DSLRs - Pentax Camera Reviews and Specifications It would be nice to have the ebook guide to go with my K5.

Thanks to all those who have taken the time to share their reviews and experiences with their equipment.

PF is a wealth of great info and hard to choose just one. But I will note this useful thread on AF:

When I first got here it was most important for me to learn how to use my older manual lenses on a K20

I'm still in the process of reading it, but so far I have really found the Flash guide to be very helpful.

Is the flash becoming the shutter for experienced strobists using HHS? It starts by getting the correct hardware.

My pick would be this gem:

It isn't about equipment, it inspires us to greatness, and it doesn't make it seem magically easy. Realistic advice and the promise of better results if you work hard and pay attention.

The Pentax K-3 Review definitely tipped the scale for my recent K-3 purchase. The AF system improvements were too much to pass up.
