Video: Lens recommendations?
The teams within the building already ignore video cameras for the most part; they shoot with 7Ds or 5Ds. Sound we're not interested in at all, as there's effects and a voice-over to be dubbed afterwards. A 35/2.x is what I'm thinking of, and the 14/2.8. A 10-17 could offer us something very inte...

Pentax 2010 K-5 & K-r Cashback thread
I posted mine today as well - for the K5+18-55mm kit lens. It was a better deal to buy the camera and lens than the body alone because of the higher cash back offer for the kit. David

K5 ISO worth the upgrade form K7? Compare and decide.
Yeah, not quite sure why. Both on auto white balance. But I do see that the color is consistently a bit different than the K7 under various environments. I guess I'll have to take them both outdoors and play with different white balances at some point. (If I'm going to keep my K7 as a backup, it wo...

K5 ISO worth the upgrade form K7? Compare and decide.
Yeah, sorry some more details.. All shot in RAW. As stated no extra processing above LightRoom3's defaults. 100% crop converted to JPEG at 100% quality. The images were at F7.1, various ISO and shutter-speed adjusted appropriately. Baseline exposure: ISO 100 @ 1 second. (for both tests, thus...

K5 ISO worth the upgrade form K7? Compare and decide.
Hmmm, maybe. But I don't like to blame the equipment until I really make sure its not my fault. I suppose I could use LiveView with contrast focus. My guess is that lens calibration would not fall so much into play as the focus is occurring via the sensor itself. I have not read much on that...

K5 ISO worth the upgrade form K7? Compare and decide.
Don't think so Stefan. As I understand it, that would just pick up normal camera shake. The issue is the sensor moving relative to the camera body and lens, rather than the whole camera moving. Go back to Falk Lumo's 'white paper' and check what he says. He has provisionally confirmed that the K-5 d...

K5 ISO worth the upgrade form K7? Compare and decide.
OK...I tried to see if the shutter bounce was an issue but I guess I'm not really sure how to determine if it was a success or not. BUT... five or six times AF was absolutely soft on the K5 and ten out of ten times on the K7. BUT, BUT... ten out of ten times with Live View and contrast AF, focus...

Will if you use a 2 second delay it's only the shutter that cause the camera movement. It's god to hear the problem "shifted" (most likely) with the K5 1/125 is precisely in the zone many shoot I believe. So, does this sound like an issue with my technique or an issue with standard AF? Possib...

K5 vs. D7000 & EOS60D
OK, so the Nikon lens range is huge, so is the canon one, here's the but, Pentax lenses can be used on the other mounts( with adaptors). If the competition have such good glass why would anybody want to use Pentax lenses? All I can think of is IQ! Back OT, I'll reserve judgment on the K-5 u...

K5 vs. D7000 & EOS60D
Dont think the Canon adapters use glass .. Nikon do I believe. How would it get past the focus distance issue or does the Canon adapter allow flush fit? Just Google imaged it, no glass. The Nikon version has glass to allow infinity focus. Best regards

K5 vs. D7000 & EOS60D
.. none of those have glass in them. Agreed as seen Mike but what about infinity focus? Need to let this thread get back on topic? One thought, if people wanted to use Pentax lenses on Nikon or Canon etc. It means no lens coupling and is only any good for Pentax lenses with aperture rings. ...

K5 vs. D7000 & EOS60D
Almost any lens will fit on a Canon because it's registration distance is small at 44mm.... Pentax is 45.46mm so no correction lens needed. Nikon is 46.5mm so a correction lens is needed for infinity focus with Pentax lenses.
