What makes an image?
The third party sensor part isn't new - before digital came along the "sensor" would have been Kodak, Fuji, Agfa, Ilford or even Boots the chemist. The body does play some part as it's responsible for the ergonomics - if it gets that wrong you might not get the shot you wanted, or get a shot that...

What makes an image?
The camera contributes the AF system (unless you use manual focus) and metering system. In the case of Pentax it also contributions Shake Reduction. All three can make a direct contribution to the quality of your image, to a greater or lesser extent depending on the circumstances. Additionally th...

What makes an image?
Not forgetting that processing (PhotoShop, PSP, Lightrooom) and display (web, print) are all links in the chain. To me what makes 'my system' is that it suits me. I like my camera to focus in a certain way, I like to use a certain strap because it works best for me, I like my bag because I find ...

No. Lens design and lens coating have a big effect on the quality of the image. In post-processing you can't put back what wasn't captured in the first place. You can try, by playing with saturation or whatever, but it's not the same. G

What makes an image?
Canon pictures often have a brownish hue to them, and I have always wondered whether this came from the body or the lens. The lens I think. I've seen some stunning images posted on the 'net taken with Pentax lenses fitted to Canon cameras. These images, to me, very much have the "Pentax Look" which...

K5 / KX / K10 which 2 would you keep and why?
Thanks everyone. I'm picking up a strong vibe that lenses would bring more benefit then the K5. The DA*50-250 has, I understand, many admirer's as does the DA*50-135. I justified the 50-135 because of its speed for low light sports and natural light portraits. In poor/damp weather it serves al...

K5 / KX / K10 which 2 would you keep and why?
The DA*16-50 is one lens I haven't checked out thinking that maybe the 17-70 was already a suitable step up from the K10s kit lens. Personally, I'd say that the DA*16-50 was a bit of a red herring. The DA17-70 is a good lens which apparently performs better wide (though not at 16:D), is significan...

K5 / KX / K10 which 2 would you keep and why?
Thanks for the thoughts on the wide to normal zoom. I wonder if anyone has checked the 60-250* vs the kit 50-300 telephoto zooms on either the KX or the K10? I haven't seen too much about the DA*60-250 on here for a while. Is it really worth the money? Will the K10/KX bodies focus quickly enou...

K7 K5 Gross Over Exposure Problem
Attn : John Riley Sorry I am new to this so could you please tell me how to "post 2 shot" I assume the EXIF data will be covered if if paste copies from the originals into where-ever, as I did with the Email to Pentax Holland. My shots were NOT spot focus but multi point. Also they were taken wi...

K7 K5 Gross Over Exposure Problem
Dear Peter - No offence was meant or intended - sorry if it was taken that way. However I would think 30 years with the Pentax mount is quite a time to get used to it, although not a lifetime. My frustration is that all the equipment was new in both cases. The K5 was with the 18-55mm, which came ...

K7 K5 Gross Over Exposure Problem
As regards my ensuring I got a click when mounting the lens, I have been using the Pentax mount since 1981 Perhaps John couldn't get his head around this statement; and since 1981 have used an ME Super, SFX, Z1, istDS, K7 and now K5. Followed later by this statement; My shots were NOT spot foc...

K7 K5 Gross Over Exposure Problem
In answer to greynolds999 - no they were not the same memory card - I download from the memory card through Pentax's software - my first knowledge that I had a problem, was when,on a dark day, the corner of my eye saw a big white rear screen on the back of the camera, and looked closer - usually I l...
