Moving to Pentax from Canon 5D MKII

Franky2step · 08-02-2011, 11:40 AM

Tired of lugging around huge/heavy lenses, including primes. I just want great image quality and smallish primes, and the K5 looks like what I need, along with some limited primes. Anyone want to switch to Canon let me know!

Welcome to the forums! You might want to hit up potn if you want to try to sell off your canon junk.

Thanks for the suggestion!

No problem! Hope you enjoy the Pentax brand more than canon, I know you will.

Welcome to the forum - I think you'll love a K-5.

Welcome! My friend has a MKII and although the photos are AMAZING the camera is ridiculously big, to the point where it becomes extremely uncomfortable to hold in a very short period of time. Unless you are tripod shooting the camera is almost unrealistic to use for hand-held shooting. So I must agree that you made the right choice in switching.
