I too like it simple. Have a French Press for an afternoon cup but mornings are Costco French roast from a Cusinart Classic brewer.

About 28 years ago a friend and I were scouting a suitable hunting area in south eastern Arizona, we found a likely spot and got out of the Landcruiser to look around. All of a sudden two Javelina came over a hill and charged us. We ran back to the vehicle and jumped on the hood. Just in time too! They were snorting , clicking their teeth and stomping their feet within inches of us. I took some great close-up shots with my K1000. Took the film to Walgreens to have it processed but when it came time to pick it up they said it got lost and offered me a new roll of film. A few years later I saw my photos in an outdoor magazine.

2019 Subaru Forester. Perfect for me. Bought for the safety features but have been pleasantly pleased with the enhancements over the 2015 model I traded in. No negatives so far.

I have the 16-45 and use it primarily out doors. I also have the Tamron 17-50 which replaced my Sigma 17-50 which was "wonky" out of the box. Aparently I got a good one. I lke the 2.8 which has served me well.:D:D:D

Ever wonder that whenever you see a high level engineer/scientist/economist/graphic artist/etc. in TV or magazine article, they're using a Mac? I used to build my own too, along with sound systems and a lot of other stuff. I've since come to the conclusion that I'd rather pay for the expertise of subject matter experts designing a quality instrument. The ignorant will always come up with nonsensical arguments that they can build a cobbled together machine that equals a store bought item. I refuse to have one on my desk.

1st a little background, started out with the K10, then K20, K7, K5, now K3 so not only has the K series evolved but I have too! It came in late yesterday afternoon and after putting in a new freshly charged aftermarket battery and two PNY 32GB Elite Performance SD cards, I performed the preliminary set up. First thing was it is noticeably heftier.The back LCD is brighter and crisper than previous models. The viewfinder besides having a bigger image was likewise brighter and I don't see any spots. The menu seems to have a better layout and controls are more handy. Having read of some of the problems others were having I tried installing only one SD card, switching cards, etc. but could not produce the lock up another poster experienced. The level indicator is spot on. Next I tried several different lenses, zoom and Limiteds, under different conditions for focus speed and operation. All seemed to have a snappier, quicker response focusing when compared to my K5. Mirror action is quieter. Love the new auto-focus points. Using my 17-50 Tammy, the pop-up flash worked flawlessly. My shooting was done to test the mechanics of the camera. While I reviewed the images and all were satisfactory I'm not going to post them now as there was nothing remarkable. Other than the initial settings I left everything in default and will post images after I get a chance to reread the owners manual and do a proper setup. I usually wait 6 months before getting a new model but I am extremely happy to have purchased this camera. :D:D:D

Your 18-55 for outdoors and a 50 f1.4 for indoors is all you need.

Got my K5 about 3 weeks ago and as of last night tried it under all kinds of lighting conditions. No focus issues with any of my lenses, no softness issues either. :confused:

To all those folks who talk about the notorious CA and PF of the Tamron 70-300 Di-II, Please show me. I've posted images which were taken with my version under the supposed conditions which it occurs with no observable CA and PF and no PP.

Elements 8 would work well for you and many of the Photoshop plug-ins work too.
