Just picked mine up this morning and posted my thoughts in another thread. I didn't see this thread, so I will post my thoughts here. I did previously have a play with one at Sydney's PMA, so I am no stranger to the feel and handling of the K7, but the response of the AF and shutter is better...

Yes, I had noticed by the many K7 posts here, you lucky things!! :D So far, I say better than nice! This camera is what Pentax should have always been, although, I think the *ist D came close. The only real issues with the *ist D was that it was slow to write, had a small LCD review screen...

Just picked up my K7 this morning. As some may have read in my other thread, I did previously have a play with one at Sydney's PMA, so I am no stranger to the feel and handling of the K7, but the response of the AF and shutter is better than I remember at the show, probably due to the fact I...

Thank you, but SR and resting on a railing helps! :)

Thank you for your nice comments, istDeS. :)

Thank you very much, Seefei. :)

Thank you for your very nice comments, Frank I only wanted the DA*60-250 f4 mainly due to the short end, ie that it went down to 60mm as 80mm was often too long with the FA*80-200 f2.8. The extra 50mm at the long end is a bonus. If I didn't require the short end, then the FA*80-200 would...

Thank you for your kind comments, Pedro! :D

Thnak you for looking and commenting. :D

Thank you very much, Jay! :D I have taken the DA*50-135 f2.8 out of my bag and will not bother to use it unless I need light weight or f2.8, which is almost never on both counts. The DA*60-250 can be used wide opan and is probably as good as the DA*50-135 f2.8 stopped down to f4. I believe...

K20D + DA*60-250 f4 @ f5.6 & 68mm, 1/500sec, ISO500 K20D + DA*60-250 f4 @ f4 (wide open) & 128mm, 1/400sec, ISO200 K20D + DA*60-250 f4 @ f4 (wide open) & 250mm, 1/80sec, ISO200 K20D + DA*60-250 f4 @ f4 (wide open) & 200mm, 1/100sec, ISO200

Here are a few more "test" photos from the DA*60-250 f4 for anyone contemplating purchasing this lens. I took it to Sydney's Taronga zoo last weekend to try it out on the zoom animals and was very happy with the results. There are a few wide open shots and at different focal lengths to show...

Thank you for your very nice comment. :) For sharpness, definitely. The DA*60-250 f4 is certainly *very* sharp and possibly sharper than the FA*80-200, if that is at all possible!! ;) For overall IQ, well, I still haven't made up my mind on that, yet. The FA*80-200 f2.8 has that certain...

Very, very ,very nice!!

Beautiful photos, nik34!
