K-5 AF under tungsten light issue ....
Well the 2nd k-5 is working OK front focus wise. What I've noticed with all 3 K-5s now is that with 1.03 focussing is inconsistent Do you mean ALL focusing or just low light level focusing?

K-5 AF under tungsten light issue ....
I tried to calibrate my D-FA50 last night. Tungsten light. Aimed at a paper on the floor, no 45 degrees, just simple test. And it went wrong. Pretty much every time I suggested something to the system, changed it, figured I'd improved it - no, it was wrong. Every time. No logic to it. 2s shu...

Ordered my K-5 !!!
Problem is you need to put the camera serial number on the cashback claim form You claim when you receive the camera. If the invoice states that it was bought before the cash back ends, it should be alright.

Ordered my K-5 !!!
You will REALLY enjoy it. Even though mine might go back due to the spots on the sensor (but the shots tonight don't show them at all), I am totally besotted with the IQ. No Front focus or Back Focus issues whatsoever, and I have not even calibrated the lenses on it. This thing with decent fast le...

Ordered my K-5 !!!
Ta-Daaaaaaaa!!! I am now the proud owner of a spanking new K-5. All seems to be working OK. Much thanks to Chris@SRS for great communication. After setting a few parameters, etc I took two identical pics @ ISO6400 with the K-5 and K20D. Difference is night and day. The K20D is roughly about ...

Ordered my K-5 !!!
And I take back waht I said to Mike regarding keeping the K20D as a 2nd body. NO chance. I'm getting a 2nd K-5 ASAP and will sell both K10D and K20D. Not for ergonomic reasons though mike, but for IQ and feature reasons. I've had the K-5 for a few hours and it's a silly order of magnitude better...

Ordered my K-5 !!!
Cheers Smeg - nice to see it's giving you some fun! Very good news about the ISO and focus speeds with the 50-135 as well. You'll be able to dial in some lens-by-lens AF adjustments.

Ordered my K-5 !!!
Be interesting to see which ones do which on your K5 then... If you were to adjust for the lens giving you low light FF, what does that mean for use of that same lens in bright light? Has that been tried I wonder? It would throw it off focus in normal light. With the sigma I doubt there would ...

Where next for K5 pricing?
the average dropped by around €200 on that score over a complete year, so 20%. That's also clean of exchange rate issues. Drop? It went back up after the end of cashback and didn't reach the same levels as cashback for another three months, dipping below only six months later. Prepared to wait? ...

Where next for K5 pricing?
I paid full price for mine as a very early adopter. OK it went back due to the sensor problem but I happily paid the price for it to have it now rather than wait for some price drop which may or may not happen. If you wait long enough the next model will be announced and you can wait for the pri...

Where next for K5 pricing?
Some of us have to run two systems for work - I have a 7D behind my desk and run Pentax at home. At work we run crop because of the ease of focus and additional DoF available, not because the crop makes "better pictures". I'm surprised at the noise on the 7D for certain things and I'm looking forw...

Will the K-x be ok ?
Fabulous photostream. I think you're right in that it won't be an issue with AF on centre point. You'll still get the green hexagon focus confirmation in the viewfinder. What a bargain - go for it! Edit: Although I just noticed you already have a K200D. I would be less sure about switching from t...

Will the K-x be ok ?
:mrgreen: Wasn't there a red dwarf episode based on that? Back to topic: 300 over 200 is a *lot* of extra reach for £70. Bret

Firmware update fro K5
I just posted this in another thread before I remembered that I had started this one (getting old / memory :(). Anyway, here it is as well: Installed the new firmware a short while ago. I have had a quick mess about with the flash and encouragingly I got decent exposure with tilting the flash up ...

Frustrated by intermittent focusing.......
I am getting increasingly frustrated with my DSLR’s to focus accurately. Last week in Cambridge, my K20D decided it did’nt want to focus at all with my 35mm (it was still AF’ing and beeped accordingly), yet it was reasonable with my 50mm. Both my K20D and K10D both occasionally back focus with my ...

Frustrated by intermittent focusing.......
I've just upgraded my K7 to a K5 and find the focus a lot quicker, much better under low light and there seems to be less 'searching' on some lens. However I (and others) have come across a focusing issue with the K5 with fast lens in low tungsten light where the camera claims its focused but th...
