Either way works :wink: With a 2x Refconverter it's better to focus on some lettering.

Spectacles and Eyecups
I used to push my specs up. Then one day while taking pictures out on some rocks at low tide I went to push them back down and they had vanished. The new ones cost more than a DFA 100mm F2.8 Macro WR. Now I leave them in the car and the only time anything is in focus is when I look through the lens.

I don't think anyone really denies the merits of the K-5, got one wouldn't give it up for a K-30 but... Without the cash back there is a rather substantial £100 and am pretty sure that it will grow to more than that after the first couple of months it is in the market. Weight is down by more t...

K5 or K30
It's a toughie. Any difference between the cameras in IQ terms will be piddling and academic, I am sure. Not bothered about the smaller buffer on the K30 really. Conversely, I'm not bothered about the K30's improved AF, even if it is as improved as they say it is. The bracketing is a slight bonu...

K5 or K30
Weight is down by more than 100gr which is quite substantial and you can't argue with the fact that the K-01 has the edge over the K-5 on IQ. On top of that if there is one thing the K-5 is a bit lacking is AF speed and the K-30 at least on paper it seems to be doing something to address it. Sorry I...

Perhaps it's understandable that they don't back-port features into old models :wink:

Don't forget the requirement for weather resistance. One would assume you wouldn't be standing in the rain shooting up ! well, acually not in the rain but I have done that with my D5K last February in a snowstorm... watching the planes that came for the european summit land at EBBE Beauvechain... ...

I also read that the D7K has 39 focus points, 9 of which are cross type. the K5 has 11 focus points 9 of which are cross type, shouldn't they then be equals ? I need a camera with a reliably fast AF to photograph fighterjets.. Fred The AF systems of the K5 and D7000 are very different. I recen...

Wow !!! I don't even come close to that quality with the D5k ;) that's a sale ! you should be a Pentax rep MikeP ;) ! I was just looking at the dxo to see if I shouldn't wait for the K30 (nice/shiny/new) but as the sensor is the same as the k01, the K5's still better. Another question for y...

Some lenses may have front or back focus issues and it even varies from copy to copy, but the K5 will allow you to fine tune the focus for up to 20 lenses and will remember the adjustment each time that particular lens is attached.

I was set on buying the K5, but unsure whether to wait to see if the K5 replacement had 'focus peaking'.... I use manual lenses a lot, and think focus peaking would be a real benefit. I had consigned myself to a long wait, even if the K5 replacement did have this feature, as I couldn't afford to be ...

Is the AF fast ? does it keep focus easily on jets ? Not particularly .. it is adequate but not very consistent. To be honest the pictures you posted were fine, if you already have Nikon lenses I really can't see the need to change brands unless it's all about weather sealing. The D7000 ha...

If I didn't really, really want focus peaking, I would definitely be going for the K5! FWIW I'm not really bothered about nit-picking differences in the movie modes on these cameras, but I do love the quality of DSLR video - much better than the quality of dedicated video cameras unless you spend...

If I didn't really, really want focus peaking, I would definitely be going for the K5! Almost on the point of getting the K5 (the cash back sounds good) but can you explain what focus peaking is. Don't think I've heard of that as a newcomer.

The focus peaking mode was something they brought in on the K-01; basically it's a manual focus aid for when focusing in live-view. Will be great for using manual lenses (which I have a lot of!)
