Thanks to Adam have got the lens to work on K5 [despite my error reading his advice]..........firing is no problem but can it operate on auto-focus or does manual focus have to be used.

Just bought a K5, getting to grips with it slowly but would like to know which is the best SD card [32GB or larger] to buy to cope with both RAW/JPEG images and using the movie feature.
Concerned that I buy a card that will stop while catpuring the movie to send to memory.
Your experiences please.

You are not the only Members to confirm the battery life is around 500 per session. May not invest in a battery grip - will have to try the camera when it arrives.
Thanks

Good idea, i was going to wait and see how things go - it might just be cheaper to by a second battery and always have a spare to carry around.
Thanks for your reply and help.

Thanks for that - so not a good idea buying a cheap version, just go for the real thing.
Thanks again.

My Insurance company are supplying me with a K5 to replace a damaged K100, could anyone give me advice about the expected use of the supplied battery.
I am currently using a Battery Pack Grip with the K100, would I need one with the K5, when out shooting i can take up 500 photos in a day.

I have a 1:3.4 to 4.5 A Zoom lens 28-80 when attached does not appear to work in AF - works great in Manual mode.
Does this lens work in AF mode, if it does, what settings should be selected apart from AF!
