Hi everyone ,
Thank you very much for your support , means a lot to me .
Meantime went again to FRA to a photshop , met a trustful Pentax rep who clearly mentioned
this camera has NO PZ function based on two grounds :
- manual zooming is more accurate
- eats up a lot of batteries power
No matter what lenses will to attached to it . Attaching will old AF generation lenses will/might bring addl pitfalls .So that,s the end .
But , surprisingly , just saw a LEICA D-LUX 4 , on same price level ca.890eur - lens included , repeat LEICA ?! which caught my eyes ,
which had AF & PZ , so ??? how about the other two reasons above ? and again we talked abt a LEICA .
When saying LEICA first thing which pups in , besides high , quality is its high price . So maybe is now a different market approach
also from this big price producers. K5 at its beginning was also high , very high in ptice , now k5II is a market oriented event .
Anyway , I am very happy with K5II , to general purposes , saw a lot of galleries and others opinions about K5 II and K5IIS
and I stay with my choice K5II . Most I like the colors and its fast AF . I do indoor but mostly outdoor pics.
I have no problem with the settings , going through all the menus ; I find them logical and all in all , the features this camera
offer are logical . Hope the LCD will not get scratched too soon , its tough but kind of protection would have helped as most of the
time camera rests on its back (= LCD !) .
Regards to all ,
Razy

Hi everyone ,
I am a retired mechanical engineer and a loyal user of RICOH XR/P since 83 !
Unfortunatelly the days of old 35mm films are over therefore switched to digital -- replacement of Ricoh is now Pentax,
so here I am .
I am new to this Pentax Forum and wd appreciate your advice .
Just purchased a Pentax K5 II camera fitted with the DA 15-55 SMC AL WR lens and the handler suggested also
for telezooming the SIGMA DC 18-200mm 3.5-6.3 II HSM . Understood was specially designed for Pentax AF.
My question is : besides manually zooming , if this camera , fitted with eather one of these two lenses , is having
the socalled Motor Power zooming feature ? if Yes , then pls expain how to set the Menus for this , in the Operational
Manual couldn,t find it .
Thank you and best regards ,
Razy,
