Hopping back in to say "JOhn, haven't you been reading my K-5 love posts?
Amazingly easy transition to K-5 from istD - so should be from DS.
I shot a bunch of things with manual lenses form the 70's too.
small learning curve, relatively. and you will love that it
tells you what you are doing on the large screen , that the
changing the ISO doesn't take you out of shooting mode, that
you can extent the ISo to 51600 down to 80, etc.
I had some problems with it at the wedding I shot, but
mainly my fault. still much to learn to be totally comfortable in all
situations but I can't imagine you not being pleased.
OK guys,
I'm going back in to lurk mode until I get all the wedding pics up
for the Bride and Groom to select their stuff from.

Quoting John <jh.gra...@verizon.net>:
I am considering a replacement of my ist DS and see that prices on used
K-5's are starting to go down. Are there any lens issues I need to consider
when going to a K-5. My lenses have been working well with my camera but
will I start to see defects as the lenses have been used for a while. The
two I use the most are a Pentax FA 28-35 mm and a Sigma 70-300 mm. I also
have some older manual lenses with out auto focusing but they don't see a
lot of use. Are there any operational issues I am libel to run into? Or
is there another choice that is not as big a jump as the K-5 as far as
performance that would be a better choice?
Well, you could consider a K50 without losing much to a K-5. Having said
that, I have a K-5, having moved up from a DS and K200D. I haven't had any
serious operational difficulties other than the K-5 is a more complex beast
with a lot more available options than the other two. It just takes a bit a
patience and practice to come to grips with them.
