I don’t know him, but this guy has to be the worst wedding photographer in the world. I mean seriously, just think of what the pictures will look like. Has he read the beginner’s tips?

So far, I believe that the Pentax K-5 is a great event camera, offering a respectable 16.3 MP; compact dimensions; intuitive, creative controls; and a remarkable maximum ISO reach of 52,200. I photographed a wedding this past week and took along our demo K-5 with its Pentax SMC 55mm f/1.4 DA* lens.
