fishnuts 55 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Just bought myself a new Pentax K5 DSLR and was playing around with it yesterday. This thing is a very sophisticated piece of gear and is going to take a while to get a full handle on it but the results are very good. I just threw a handfull of flies and tying gear on a table and this is how the shots turned out. See what you think.Cheers Darren Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is water resistant though but that just means it'll be ok in the rain but won't take a full dunking.Cheers Darren Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rangfish 1 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Allright, I would keep it in a plastic container whilst out in the yak but other than that you should have alot of enjoyment with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catchno 0 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hey Fishnuts, I am looking to upgrade my current pentax Dslr. Was just wondering, what is the shelf price of the K5? and did you get any lenses with the package?. Very nice pics colour/depth Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Look up Digital Camera Warehouse on google, better prices there than I could get here in Adelaide or overseas due to the duty you have to pay.Cheers Darren catchno 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
