I decided to add the Pentax KS2 to my Pentax DSLR family. I am loving the KS2. I wonder how the KS2 will perform with a 150-450mm DFA lens? Hmm...

Looking forward to your thoughts and opinions on how it compares to your others

Shoot with 1 Pentax camera and you are a Jedi
Shoot with 2 Pentax cameras and you are a Master Jedi
Shoot with 3 Pentax cameras and you are a Great Master Jedi.

Enjoy your weapons. You are new to the Pentax clan and yet, you are now a Great Master Jedi. You should stop at 3 pauare67. If you shoot with 4 you will turn to the dark side.

Mine often pairs with the DFA 150-450mm. And they're quite a happy item. Love the chunkily compact Ks-2 too.

What are the three lenses shown in the photo?

Because a camera without a lens is a naked camera!
They dressed up for the photo.

I am sorta, kinda thinking about getting a KS2 but the lack of an LCD on the top plate is holding me back. I have gotten used to glancing at it to check aperture, shutter speed, compensation, etc. It would be nice to hear from owners if this is an issue or if the rear screen and viewfinder fills in the gap.

On the K-S1, aperture, shutter speed, and compensation are displayed on the bottom of the viewfinder. I assume the K-S2 is pretty similar.

No, I mean, what lenses are they?

Actually I wonder what top display is for But seriously: I have never missed it. I can see aperture, shutter speed, and other stuff in the viewfinder (most common scenario), or on rear screen. Rear screen is not fixed, so it's very convenient and you can set it in virtually any position - this PF review shows good example.

I will second this, it's been my experience that the only time the top plate LCD readout comes in use is when I'm shooting from a tripod with remote. With the flippy screen it's quite easy to aim at a convenient angle to see the readout. In normal shooting, all the info I need is in the OFV or a quick glance to the back.

The photo shows the K-1 with the DFA 28-105mm, the KS2 with the DA 55-30mm, the K-3II with the DFA 150-450mm.
