K5, Kr, full frame (?) it's all to little too late
I use 35mm film, APS-C and 135D (FF). As I would say, it's horses for courses. I wanted a FF so I bought one. I still use my Pentax kit more often than the Nikon kit mainly due to travelling and weight limitations. I do like both systems and find them similar to use. I like my 7D (Minolta got the na...

K5, Kr, full frame (?) it's all to little too late
Reading this thread, it seems to me to be less about FF and more about a general question ‘why buy Pentax?’ No doubt we all have our own reasons for choosing a system, and for some it will be the perceived ‘professional’ status of Canon and Nikon. I had used Pentax SLRs since the early 1970s (I...

K5, Kr, full frame (?) it's all to little too late
Most recently I changed back to Pentax, with the K20D and K7. The K7 is by streets the best camera I have ever used. In particular the IS is brilliant: I can shoot hand-held with the Sigma 120-400 at the long end, and didn’t miss a shot, shooting motorcycle racing recently at the Manx Grand Prix. W...

Yes, I did not mean 'without worth'....I meqnt that they are effectively obsolete as far as digital is concernec sionce there is no digital system for them apart from that massive back for the R series.....they are excellent lenses and prices HAVE risen lately compared with a couple of years back......

That's why the first maker to launch a FF mirrorless system will clean up! Would just like to point out my prediction a few months back: that if a Pentax FF DSLR ever happens it will be an EVIL :P

Speaking of backwards lens compatibility: I can beat that - with metering, focus confirmation and image stabilisation. :)

K5, Kr, full frame (?) it's all to little too late
Can anyone tell me how fast in proper terms my K10d is and then provide comparable figures for a canon/ nikon something as I suspect that we are talking milliseconds here, No idea myself but I have handled both Nikon and Canon gear and yes the AF is a lot faster than on any of my Pentax's, OK so it ...

peronally I'm too laid back to fret over not getting a shot as another will come along eventually.... I managed with manual focus very well until AF came along, AF is not the Holy Grail when it comes to camera specifications I'm definitely in the same camp.

K5, Kr, full frame (?) it's all to little too late
Hello Whilst there are no 'figures'so far it seems we may be on the same wave length regarding autofocus. In my tiny brain it seems that people are far too hung up on af speed - I love using my manual focus lenses as well as my af ones. I have often wondered if the reason for af speeds no...

K5, Kr, full frame (?) it's all to little too late
Reading this tread has been interesting yet very frustrating. Yes FF would be desirable, but nowadays not necessary. Yes you get more resolution and less susceptable to noise at hi ISO's. But think about it we now have APS-C cameras providing seriously good images at anything up to 6400ISO. Even ...

This seems to be going way off-topic, so we'll call it a day on this one please and take the banter back to the Pointless Thread?

I would like a 24x36mm full frame body just so that I can get back to the big , bright viewfinder I am used to with my film bodies and so that I can see to focus my SMC-M lenses - a task I find difficult on my *istD . Although I was never tempted by the successors in the *ist range , only slightl...

Viewfinder replacement costs
If it's the focus screen that;s damaged try . I've just got a replacement for my K200d from them, they're fast and good value.
