Hi,
I have a K-1 and thinking of getting a wide-angle lens for this camera. What's thoughts here go for a
PENTAX DA 11-18mm or I tried to buy a Pentax D HD FA 15-30mm. What's the thinking?

Most of my work is done with the K-1 and the 28-105 lens which is perfect for that. I keep the K-200 w/100-300 close by for long shots for just in case but switching quickly is a pain and would miss some. I've given up trying to do this on a Whaler or inflatable as are too bumpy at times and worry about damaging my equipment because of it hence my question/thoughts. Lately, I've been out on a 22 Pursuit with a hardtop, the yacht club's committee boat that takes about 6 so not a small boat and you can hang on or sit down. I'm a high-level racing sailor but at 62 and some health issues so I'm back out there just shooting when you can't sail full-on with a "real" camera. I understand about the life vest and is close by but if it's that wet and snotty for shooting I'm done for the day anyway. It's about the quality of that unit and found this too:https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01GL6WZA4/ref=dra_a_ms_ss_ho_xx_P1200_1000?tag=dra...6ad8167ffb4_CT. I think that's the one for my needs and thank you for your input.

I have a K-1 and a K-200 and my shooting is on the water and for action mostly. I 'm paranoid of dropping my cameras in the ocean. What do you think of this: Opteka MCH-25 Multi Camera Carrier Harness Holster System

Many thanks for your response. I want to do low light for dusk are later on the water as I have a boat and my club has outstations that are away from civilization so I can take advantage of it that others might not. Yes there is a thought of price and I don't need the latest & greatest and stuff I call "over featured" in cameras, electronics etc. I've always been taught that composition, light and opportunity are your friend. Not screwing around with tabs & options that you miss a shot because of it. But that's me.
Thanks again.

Hi kids - I'm new here and I have a K200D. I quite like the camera & lenses and I bought it used. Good enough to get my first cover shot on our regional glossy mag - Pacific Yachting in Feb. 15. My question is I was thinking to upgrade to a K-3 or K-5 but the trouble is already have a camera that is 10.2 MP what is satisfactory for my needs for now but the K-3 has 24.4 MP where the K-5 is only 16 MP.
Maybe a newbie question: How come? I'd thought 24.4 MP would be better than the K-5 at 16 MP. i like to do low light if I can and a bought a 1.8 lens recently for scenic which is better for either end of the day. And the opportunity that crop up.
I'm not new to photography but digital maybe. I'm just trying to learn.
Many thanks,
OS
