With the possible exception of the K-7. I picked up the low end K-x and in anything darker than studio light its image quality blew away my K20. The K-5 gave me “good enough” image quality that for the vast majority of photography I’d never need to upgrade. The later bodies are so good that it’s easy to start chasing photos that would not have even been possible a few years back. > > On 3/13/2021 6:06 AM, Alistair Lax wrote: >> I've just re-joined PDML after about 10 years - not that my absence would >> have been noticeable as I was mainly a lurker.

BTW, have you read the “Blackthorn Key” books by Kevin Sands? Nominally for a young audience they’re about an apothecary apprentice in 1665 London.
