It's very tempting to Photoshop some Pentax-labelled cows on a Pentax pasture :-)

I have a Rikenon 28 which you can have if you pay for shipping. It's a manual lens but quite sharp.

The lens definitely plays a role . My FA31 is pretty quiet but the DA 50 is really loud.

I agree about the Kata. It's a well made bag but somehow it doesn't feel right.

Just got my K-3 and so far I like it. It feels like a K-5ii with everything done better plus useful features from the K-30 (focus peaking).
But I am really confused about the advanced settings of the camera. I have a rough idea what they do but it's hard to tell what they really do and what potential side effects they have.
Examples:
- HDR. It looks like the K-3 takes HDR images in RAW. How does that compare to bracketing and then doing HDR with software?
- What do Highlight And Shadow Correction really do? Are they useful when you shot in RAW?
- What do the High ISO and Low Shutter Speed do? Do they provide an advantage over noise reduction with software?
- What does "Hold AF status" do exactly? are there examples showing the behavior?
There are plenty more settings I wonder about. For Nikon and Canon it's usually possible to find articles and videos on the web but the K-3 I haven't had any luck finding anything.
Does anybody know how to find more info? Is there an expanded/detailed manual somewhere?

You should take it easy on national stereotypes. This comment can't lead to a positive discussion ..
I think the OP raises a few legitimate issues

I spent last week in Yosemite and this was the first outing for my Sigma 10-20. It's a great lens for landscapes. I am pretty new to this and still need to learn a lot in terms of technique and post processing but I really like this lens.

I thought I'd get some feedback. These are some Milky Way pictures I took in Death Valley.
I think the sky is not too bad but the foreground is too noisy. Seems I have to learn how to blend exposures.

This is my first attempt at photoshopping. I will try again in October with better focusing and exposure.

That's a little harsh :D. Does it keep the video intact?
I have found that you can press the menu button and there is an option to stop recording. But if you shoot at a three seconds interval there is not enough time to go through the menu before another image gets taken. It works for longer intervals.
