No firmware upgrade for KS-2? Is that camera dead already? Sigh...

K-1 for filming. Which Gimbal?

Fellow forum members, I just bought a Moza Aircross 2 on sale from Amazon.com just assuming it would work with my Pentax KS-2 given weight considerations. However, I am nervous now because when I went to check on their camera and lens compatibility, there is no mention of any Pentax camera or lens. Does anybody have any experience with a gimbal from Moza? Let me know if my anxiety is unfounded or real. Thanks.

Does the number of focus points improve focus speeds?

I have the DA 55-300 PLM and I must admit that focus is almost instantaneous. I am not a technical guru and therefore would presume to even understand what goes on behind the lens and in the camera, but it seems to me that his lens on KS-2 is super speedy focusing, magical and sharp.

Visited a Tulip Garden around Seattle, Washington a while back and thought this would be a colorful landscape for submission. I was still learning photography around the time but the light was wonderful.

10-17mm fisheye arrived and I couldn't wait to take some pictures. Color rendering is perfect as is the sharpness. I'm so happy I bought this lens guys.

Thanks to all of you that responded. Decided to go with the Pentax 10-17 from B&H and thanks again for your valuable input. Hopefully it is a fun lens to have in the bag.

I have the same question. The 10-17 is on sale for around 297 bucks +tax at B&H ( I returned it after buying it because I want to buy it through the forum link so they get credit) or the Sig 10-20 3.5 which is on sale as well for 399.99. Also there are a couple of used copies being offered for sub 300 bucks. So my dilemma now is which one to buy because both cost about 300 bucks.

I plan to use a wide angle lens to photograph landscape pictures, general walk around lens and also for some astrophotography which is fascinating to me but have never tried. Pictures of the galaxy is something I would like to get with this new lens.

So forum members can you please give me your advice about which direction to go?

Here are the lenses I've accumulated after buying my first Pentax DSLR - KS2 (which I really like)
18-135 Kit lens, DA 35, DA 50, Sigma Macro 70mm 2.8, Pentax 55-300 PLM and an old lens from Pentax 105mm with a screw mount for which I have an original adapter.

Please share your wisdom with this confused old man.

I was waiting so long for a wide angle lens and had almost bitten the bullet on a Rokinon a couple of times. But this deal was too good to pass up! So I just got the lens! Thanks Adam.

All these pics are super sharp. I wonder why mine isn't sharp... I either have a bad copy or my I need to make sure my focus is right.
