I'm seriously tempted to get a K-5
Do it. I’ve abandoned any ideas of updating from my K-5, it works and it works beautifully. I don’t want to fix whats not broken
If you ask a dedicated Pentaxian you’ll be blinded with science, stats, and a thousand reasons the II and IIs are better. I am not convinced, based simply on observation of results. I’ve never used anything beyond my K-5.Is there much to differentiate the three models (the original K-5, the K-5II and K-5IIs)

Thank you Miguel! Though I must confess, its a shot from 2012 . Wish it were recent but I am just seeming unable to get myself organised for early mornings in the past couple of years.Such a lovely image, Sue. I especially like the tones - the richness - the palette - the hues. Oh, and, yes, the composition too. All in all, a great photograph. And, if it were necessary, a testimony to the ongoing photographic qualities and capabilities of the K-5, a great camera.
Some metal type w/ 100m Macro & K-7

Such a lovely, moody image, John.Only a few years ago that I sampled the Pentax system? It seems a lot longer ago.
One of my favs. with the K-70 and the 20-40 ltd.

A few years ago I had a K-30, and I rented a DA 20-40. It was one of the best lenses I've ever used. I just prefer smaller camera and lens combinations, but every now and then I've checked to see what Pentax has in their current lineup.Such a lovely, moody image, John.
And if one had any doubts, this photograph shows off some of the virtues of that very cool little zoom lens, the DA 20-40. I think that's one of the reasons I've always liked shooting with Pentaxes - they seem to have a knack for coming up with relatively diminutive and unusual lenses with superb optical qualities. This is really a great photo.
