I never thought that I would lead my way once more to Pentax. At the K5, however I did not get over. Together with the excellent 18-135WR as so. Always plan a very good value for money. Now enumerate what the K5 can anything beyond the scope. I will be therefore more generally. The housing is in weight fed in hand. You can tell the body immediately to the quality of the materials. It is not too big but not too small advised. Even without Grip allows the K5 hold on tight with larger hands and use. The monitor triggers timely made for a camera in this price range, the LCD is especially protected. I will nevertheless provide an additional real glass protection. Also the grip (Mike) I'll get me because I also work with larger lenses. The speed, the quality of the recordings, the precision of AF are breathtaking. The built-in stabilizer brings a lot. Movies in Full HD is also possible. Fast-paced shooting and HDR are self-evident. The thick handbook highlights the possibilities of Menueinstellungen- endless and very useful accessibility! However, the built-in flash seems a little windy compared to the housing (magnesium alloy). But as I (if necessary) anyway work with external flash, this is of no consequence. The SDHC card can not be so easy but is reinschieben- little relevance for me because I work with USB. The battery needs charging when you first a few hours, but lasts very long. The K5 is the camera, which has cost me for training a few days time. You can one-Ellen as much menuintern and thus meet all situations best. The ISO is fully ausgereizt- and without significant adverse effects and the colors are very natural. The 18-135 WR you can truly not as kit lens Significantly, that says even equal to the retail price. It provides very good results, which I am not accustomed to this focal length. In addition, I can not take pictures, while others have to pack already: the camera and lens are optimally protected from rain. The price for the set is fully justified. The choice of lenses is compared to Canon or Nikon Although begrenzter- but only quantitatively! Pentax builds high-quality lenses that are in the tests always forward. That this has its price, is self-explanatory. However, Sigma and Tamron offer and complement each other very well here. The 70-200 2.8 of Tamron's first choice up. The 12-24 better still 10-20 from Sigma downwards. The 105s Macro from Sigma or the 100 Macro of Pentax for insects. The 50mm prime lens from Pentax or Sigma (2.8 / OS) for the portrait. Who needs it, then get a good selection in the range of 300 and above at Sigma. Whoever starts the arithmetic and the price for a complete equipment determined, will be forced to ponder. But the fact is: Those who want to take good pictures, also needs a good camera with lenses, flash or tripod. Overall, you should scrape been gradually on the 3000 euro mark here. The K5 gets an unrestricted Purchase Recommendation!
