When I first opened the Pentax K5 two things struck me. “Evening Bokeh Drive” – The Pentax K5 in one of the cool cross process modes – JPEG – 43 limited at 1.9 – ISO 200 “Bella” – Pentax K5 with 43 Limited at 1.9 – Click image for larger and better version! Most of you know I love shooting like this because I love the looks I get with a fast prime lens ? With a fast 1.8 aperture, it will give you great performance in low light as well as allow you to get a shallow depth of field. This lens, while not as tasty as the 77 limited I shot with last time is still a GREAT lens. This time around, B&H Photo sent me the K5 to try out along with the 43 1.8 limited lens. When the K5 was announced it didn’t take long for the e-mails to start pouring in asking me when I was going to post a review for it! The pressure was on so I knew I had to try it out but seeing that I almost bought a K7 for myself, I was a bit scared to review the K5! Why? Because I really can’t afford another camera after my Ricoh GXR purchase! Anyway, I decided I HAD TO review it, and I am glad I did because this is one of the finest (if not THE finest) APS-C sensor DSLR’s I have shot with to date! I have received lots of e-mails about that review and many thanks from those who bought one due to the info in that review. If you google “Pentax K7 Review” my review comes up as the #1 result. Even the president of Pentax, Ned Bunnel, posted about it on his personal blog. My K7 review also sparked lots of comments and interest.
That K7 gave me plenty of superb photos when I shot it with the Kit Zoom AND a couple of Pentax Limited prime lenses.

The Pentax K5 is essentially an upgrade to the Pentax K7 which I ABSOLUTELY LOVED. I have not been able to get out every day with it but on the days I have been able to, I have really enjoyed shooting this camera. So here it is 2011 and I have been shooting with the lovely Pentax K5 for a few weeks now. ** ATTENTION ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS! – Don’t forget to enter the Leica M9 giveaway that is going on NOW! – Details HERE **
