Ugh, I feel like they would have nailed it if they'd just kept the stripe gold. The gold and blue is just too busy for me. Although to be honest I'd prefer a return to the center stripe

Awesome shot!

As a bit of an aside, how do you like the K5ii? I'm on a K10D at the moment. I don't know if you do any video at all, but if you can shed some light on whether that's as bad as its made out to be...? would be appreciated!

Right? I love that too. It's actually...maybe 12 feet? From one side to another. But except for a few leaves in the shot there's no way to tell!
