The K2 dial never bothered me, mainly because I had little need to change it. I still have one that's slowly deteriorating on the shelf. I can't bear to let it go despite not using it since I bought the K10D. Cheers, Dave > On Apr 5, 2017, at 5:09 PM, Brian Walters

Re: We Tried It: The Pentax K System

Thanks During my collecting phase (about 10 years ago - I'm over it now :-) ) I bought one of each of these. I used the KX for a couple of years before digital took over. I really liked that camera. They're still stashed away in a cupboard so I must get them out and see if they still work.

Re: We Tried It: The Pentax K System

I still have the MX I bought only a year later. I've often wondered why Pentax introduced two entirely new body ranges so close together - they must have had the M-series bodies well on the way to production by the time the KM/KX/K2 were released. On Wed, Apr 05, 2017 at 11:59:11AM +1000,

Thank you, Bruce. The less than optimal DOF is due to my laziness. I opted for the monopod and left the tripod at home. Not surprisingly, the monopod did not help at all. Bulent - http://patoloji.gen.tr
