I don't remember whether you have a laptop or not, but you might be able to use
a program called "PK_Tether" to connect your K5 to your computer & use the
computer as a remote. It's freeware/donation ware; use at your own risk.
I took a quick look at it, but it doesn't include a user's guide, so I don't
know yet how to hook it up. I'll let you know if/when I ever figure it out.

Ann, have you considered plugging in a HDMI monitor (or TV) into the K5 and
using live view for studio work?� All you need is the right cable (very
cheap on ebay) and no more sore neck - I know my life improved dramatically
when I started using a screen on the K3 and I wasn't always bending over a
viewfinder.
I will admit that the screen on the K70 is nice in the field for macro
shots, though I think the design of the KP screen would be more useful
unless you plan on doing selfies (yes it can be done).

actually, no... though thanks for the thought.
I had one years ago... I found it a bit of a PITA..�� The flipout with
the live viewworked for me with the Canon not just for the studio stuff
but outside too..
I just have to figure out how to sell the K5 but not deliver it until I
get the K-70 and I think this will still not be possible until December.
something to look forward to :-)

Is a right-angle viewfinder a viable option?

It has me at the fold out screen.... allthe other stuff is nice too,
but that fold out screen is something I truly need in my studio for
product shooting without wrecking my already broken back.
I need to figure out a way ot finance this... will I get anything on
a trade in with my k-5 body?
I looks like it is a bit lighter than the K-5 too...�� and I see
there are refurbished bodies out there.
and I thought the K-5 would last me forever...
