Yes they produce their own cyanide, so they are happy to hang out in the sun and use their flashy colours to ward off predators.

A few shots from Thursday nights spectacular aurora, normally you don't see much from Mainland Australia. Venus, the milky way, and the odd satellite floating about.

I think when it comes to choosing a camera your first need to decide on 3 questions! What is your ideal format size? Do you prefer SLR or mirrorless?, Does the system provide the lenses you need?
If you want an APS-C DSLR then at this particular juncture it's hard to not recommend Pentax. It's just about picking which body offers the features you want at the price your willing to pay. Unless you there is a specific lens that pentax doesn't supply, then it's an easy choice.

Obviously if you prefer mirrorless to SLR then there a many choices, with Fuji the only real APS-C system.

As for Nikon, F-mount and SLRs are essentially discontinued so $1500 for a 5 year old end of line camera is arguably terrible value compared to a new $2k Pentax.

And then there is the fact that people should expect to pay more for an SLR because mirrorless are significantly cheaper to manufacture.

It's about 20g heavier than the 50-135/2.8 so getting up there.
However it solves all four of the original 16-50s problems
No sudden death motor
Good Corners
Good CA control
No terrible lens flare.
Theoretically I could now sell my 21ltd and 16-50/2.8, and get this lens purchase past the wife, except I also want a K3III!

I remember doing the tour, but it was one of those fancy houses with portraits of the past owners on the walls. Not particularly interesting the this photographer.
