The show was too crowded with people, so as the photo gear. Actually, I think it is more a camera show than flowers', despite that there are also many "seas of flowers".
I was seeing many people brought a lot of gear of theirs to the show, e.g., bringing several bodies plus a dozen of lenses and/or along with more than two tripods plus monopod, which just looked quite amazing and amusing to me! :-o On the other hand, there are also some other beginners and casual shooters who only had some simple and basic equipment. I am not a beginner, but I was just too lazy to bring just only my K-5 with a DFA 100 Macro lens attached, along with a NEX-3 with a E30 Macro mounted, so that I could have a wider view without the need of changing lenses when it was needed.
I was taking all my photos somehow in a hurry manner but not in a great mood, as there were too many people. Still, I would share some of my Pentax photos in the following album. Enjoy!~

A quick question: What is your overall opinion of the K-5? Are you happy that you got it, or think that you should have waited for the next one. I'm curious because I'm thinking of getting one here in the USA (decent prices).
Your opinion matters because you are not a "fanboy"; I feel that to you the equipment and how it performs is more important than the name or history of the camera. After all, when Hoya took over-they spent as little money as possible on pentax.
