what is your tip when using manual focus under f2.0?
The photozone image sample at f4 is a lot better, so it appears I have a bad sample. I've never had much luck with pentax qc, my kit lenses have also been poor. I like the characteristics of the 15mm in other respects so I'll try at least one more copy. Not really interested in the 14mm, not really...

*ist D with 16-45 on ebay for £1200
Asked the seller a question. If he responds back with a "oh yeah, I made a mistakem should have been $199" I'll be snapping one up. One can hope right? :)

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
Having recently sold my K7 for a good price I'm now considering a back-up camera to my K5 for an unexpected but very welcome 10 day trip to Aus in Nov. and if I like it or it does the job well then I'll keep it for my 4/5 week visit to my sister in NZ next Jan/Feb. Those in the running (or were) ...

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
Rather then looking at the camera... how do you plan of backing up the lenses? If you buy another Pentax you can still use your lenses if you buy a NEX that means you need to buy and carry lenses for that. So in what way is the NEX (or any other camera for that matter) a back-up? Sorry to fail ...

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
You might want to have a good scour of this review as well , before committing... :wink: Battery life and flash are interesting reading / viewing. Also, I didn't get a sense of whether or not the Sony product gives you the ability to manually apply exposure compensation?

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
Another K5. Prices are dropping and you have all the lenses. I'd only consider another camera/system if you were thinking about moving away from Pentax in the longer term. That said, when I had a similar situation (6 week trip to NZ) I bought an ultra-zoom bridge camera and left my Pentax at h...

If you buy another Pentax you can still use your lenses if you buy a NEX that means you need to buy and carry lenses for that. As he says, K-adapters are available for the NEX and he is happy to manually focus his lenses. The NEX also makes a case for itself as a top-quality travel camera in its own...

[As he says, K-adapters are available for the NEX and he is happy to manually focus his lenses. Do those adapters also support all the functions of the lens, so auto aperture and focusing?

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
Stefan - you either need to go to Specsavers or you're being wilfully difficult. They do not support AF, but HE IS HAPPY TO MANUALLY FOCUS HIS LENSES. AE - I guess you are only able to stop the lens down with the aperture ring and use them in AV mode, as you do with M42 lenses and an adapter on Pent...

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
Unless you're doing a pro shoot you don't need a backup camera. Unless you want to make life difficult, a second K-5 is the logical solution for full compatibility. But I think the question you pose is a red herring. You want to buy a new toy and have your eyes set on a NEX. No point looking t...

I haven't looked into them so maybe someone who has done some research might have actually found some adapters that support that, who k...

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
Pentaxophile, Robin, Gwyn : maybe you are right and it is a case of CBA :P However the fact remains that I do need a back-up camera (since I sold the K7 I feel quite naked !) and although the K100 Super originally caught my eye when I saw how much this Nex C3 was selling for (I don't know why but I...
