Great pic I think you have solved the loch ness mistery

I to have a K5 and it is great for HDR. it will do 2, 3, and 5. For my style, most of the time 3 is all i need.

Yup me 2. I had an istds and loved it, I just got the K5 yesterday because i can use all the lenses that i used on the ist. so far the k5 is great for high iso 1600 in low light shots inside with very low noise. it has been raining for 3 days so i don't dare take it out side. can't wait to do some outside shots.

these sites helped me a lot
