Hello,
I tried to look for this but did not find much.
Are there any K-5ii/s users that switched to k-3?
I was wondering:
1. how is the IQ in JPG? compered to k-5ii/s
2. is the upgrade worth it, in general? (I know different people have different usage for the camera)
3.Or should I wait to K-3II? :)
Thanks.

Hello,
Yesterday a friend of mine asked me to take some pictures in a club.
is almost dark there.
I was using Flash (camera built in) and P mode.
I had 2 lenses 18-135 and F 28mm 2.8.
most of the pictures were out of focus, I had used the AF asist light.
The canon T2i took better and sharper pictures then me.
can you advice on how to take pictures with the K-5, on those situations.
what to do? what settings to use? what accessories to add?
I was a bit disappointed, but I am sure the K-5 can perform in this situation.
Thank you

WOW, Thank you for your excellent advice.
a few more questions:
1. the 28mm is so rare and inexpensive, so I don't want to let go. I have not seen may go for sale here or on eBay, what do you say?
2. what do you say about sigma 70mm and 105mm compared to Pentax 70mm and 100mm? price and performance wise?
3. I also was thinking to buy this one Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG OS Lens Reviews - Sigma Lenses - Pentax Lens Review Database to replace the 18-250?
The problem Is I cant use them all but want to keep them all, LBA problem from my part since I bought the K-5, three months ago.
Thank you.

lens crack question.
I have a Pentax FA 100-300 4.7-5.8 lens.
I received it with a crack on the upper plastic ring in line with the glass. a picture is attached. and also samples from the lens.
how does this crack decrease the value of the lens?
how this crack influence the performance of the in the future?
will the crack grow?
should I keep this lens?
Can someone advise what to do?
Thank you.

I called Pantex and they told me, that even if it is out of stock but you can back order it. they will honor it.
as long as you back ordered it during the 30 days period. since this is the date of the order even if you get the card a few months later.
adorama had them in stock 2 weeks ago. and I back ordered it from them. Pentax 2 Years Extended Warranty for K5/ KX/KR DSLR 80227
they have it in stock right now as it looks.
Hope this helps.

Thank you all for replying.
I am trying to decide on one all around lens, or to separate the range to a few lenses including some primes.
I have the Pentax DA18-250, F50/1.7, F35-70, soon I will receive my Sigma 24mm 2.8F AF super-wide ii.
I just heard and read very good things about the Pentax FA100-300 4.7-5.8, and I used to own the DAL55-300, which was very good IMHO. But the letter is more expensive. and since I can't buy them all ;). I am trying to have a better understanding since I am not planing to keep/buy all of them.

Which one do you think gives the best value for a lens?
And which has the best IQ?
I went over the reviews and similar threads, and couldn't find any conclusive opinion.
