Even just slight improvements over the K5IIs will be nice. 20-24 MP, Improve AF, Improve High ISO performance.
And please add a second memory card slot.
And don't price it at $3500 lol.
Do this and I'd be very happy.

I bought one. I have to say I was worried about using a manual focus lens. Not anymore! It's so easy. I'm loving this lens and what a great deal.

I actually just switched from Canon to Pentax (k-5). I've used a bunch of different Canon crop cameras and none of them really wowed me. As for the Canon FF, the 5d2 gives really nice IQ, but lacked in other areas. When the 5d3 came out, it was the camera for me. Really nice IQ, great AF system, high ISO capabilities. But a $3,400 price tag was just too much. So I started saving for it. While in the process of saving, I figured I'd see what was going on in the Pentax world (my first 35mm was a Pentax). I really love what I see with the k-5. It's closer to the 5d3 than any other Canon camera (not including the 1 series), and at $900?? Yeah I'm liking that! IQ and DR is better on the k-5, AF better on the 5d3, high ISO better on the 5d3, but the k-5 is no slouch and is better than the Canon crops. So for the price of 1 5d3 body only, I can have a complete setup with the k-5 and all the lenses I need, with money left over.
I'm looking forward to using the k-5, and hopefully they continue to improve on it in the years to come.

Hi all,
Firstly, let me apologize if this has been asked a million times...I'd be happy to be shown a link if that's the case.
I'm currently a Canon user, but love what I've seen from the K-5 images. So I'm planning on getting one to try out, not to replace my Canon gear, just to supplement it.
I've been doing some reading but there is just so much info it's taking a lot longer than I want lol. So I'm hoping you can help me narrow down my search. I shoot portraits, weddings, macro, and landscape.
I'm really looking for a 3 lens setup in the following ranges: 14mm, 50mm, 100mm (or somewhere close to these focal lengths), the faster the better. Only interested in Primes (unless there's a gem of a zoom, but I usually prefer primes). If one of these can duplicate as a macro that would be great.
So, any thoughts to which lenses I should start looking at?
What are considered the 'best of the best' for the K-5?
Thanks a bunch!
