@ Steve... I have procured the 35mm macro (along with a plethora of other lenses) and will try to share my opinions with you soon. But getting a bunch of lenses all at once doesn't give me time to evaluate all of them at once. My preliminary experience with the 35mm was that it had EASILY made the first cut, so I'm kind of sorting out what to do with my overload on the longer focal lengths.
@ christilou..... I'm not sure what o compare the K-30 viewfinder to. I've never used a DSLR much before, so I like that it has 100% coverage....seems bright and clear. But coming from the E-M5 and the Fujis, I'm not sure I always prefer an optical viewfinder to a very good electronic one. I need more practice with it. But when I release the shutter, I really wonder what my exposure looks like. I like having a liveview eye level finder that shows the exposure. I'm fairly comfortable that I can dial it in with PP if I don't want a "correct" exposure. And sometimes I just shoot with a bracketed exposure burst.
I think after a couple more weeks of experience with my first DSLR, I'll do a comprehensive post about the K-30 and DSLRs in general. In some ways they are great...and in others, they are ridiculously 20th century.
