AF lens adjustments, are they still necessary on the K5II/K5IIs
I won't be able to give it any real world tests until I get back home Mike. I should be able to spend some time putting it through its paces next week. Racing for the 2013 season at the Cartagena Oval starts on Feb 10th so I can check out it's focus following in low'ish light then as well.

Thankyou John - I see that comparisons are possible with images other than the lens specific ones. I compared two images of the half timbered building and have to agree that the KIIs is sharper. On the other hand looking at a comparison of one of the white balance pictures, I found it much more di...

Well I tried to buy a 11s today but SRS are out of stock :( Like Gwyn I am most interested in the low light focussing but extra fine detail cannot be a bad thing. My current K5 will become my back up camera so I will still have it to take shots where moire might be a problem. I have a K10d as ...

I'll let you know the outcome of shooting a wedding on The K-5 IIs as soon as that happens. In the meantime I have a friend already doing that, so I'll report back what she says in due course. She's had the K-5 IIs for a few weeks now and already shot thousands of images.

@Gary: So how's the Mk 2 vs Mk 1 now you've had it a while? To be honest Matt I've hardly used it and the only difference i can see is the autofocus locks on first time and is sharper due to focus accuracy. I haven't used it outside yet so couldn't tell you if the screen is an improvement or not. ...

do you have a K-5 to compare it to? I have the K-5 now... but it's going in for exchange with SRS's deal ;) That said, I feel I know the K-5 mk 1 pretty well now after 2 years and lots of large format prints :D So, on the basis of several thousand images I should be able to give a feel for the diff...

They did on my screen Philip, and the problem with the images you've posted is that now they've been re-processed and re-compressed for the web. Anyway, it's not a matter of anyone being convinced by you or I, they should download the high resolution images for themselves, judge for themselves al...

I'll refer you back a few pages to Pentaxophile's images, which show what I expect them to show. Hope that helps.

The image of the young girl shot with the K-5iiS shows clear signs of camera-shake and/or lack of focus, whereas the K-5ii image does not, so comparisons of sharpness and detail rendering are completely invalid based on these two shots. I will reserve final judgement on the K-5iiS until I get my ...

I think it's a shame that it ends up with arguments, it really shouldn't. Part of the problem is that some seem to feel they need to keep repeating their opinions, and it isn't necessary. We understand your point of view, it's not a problem. So just perhaps be a little more laid back and the h...

I'm late catching up, but it's good to see an actual field test of the two cameras rather than speculation about the differences. John's review was too late for my buying decision, though it does support my thinking (a K5IIs, faulty unfortunately, arrived from SRS a couple of weeks ago). My rati...

Instead of buying a Ltd or DA* you could try a K55f1.8 for a mere £30-40. It might surprise you. That's already happened! recently bought from a member and yes it is a marvelous lens - very sharp and clear (even if it doesn't focus as easily as a Ltd or zoom as well as DA* ) I think you trying ...

My K-5 IIs arrived this morning :D TOP service from SRS as usual!!! :D Wow! :shock: Initial thoughts: * The new rear LCD is brilliant! But it's not 'creating' the perception of increased detail. Comparing out-the-window shots from the IIs to the shots that were already on the SD card from t...

Ok... I've had a couple of days shooting with the K5IIs. All good :) * Focus is much, much more definite. The Mk1 was kind of "ooops, back a bit, hang on, forward a touch... yeah", whereas the Mk2 is "ziiip, focus". It knows where it's going and doesn't usually fiddle about ;) Obviously there...

After I examined the first shots taken with my K5IIs and DA*300mm, the first thing that became apparent was a possible focus offset on my old K5. I haven't had it back on the old K5 to test yet, but on the new body it was just so much sharper! Last weekend, I actually had a couple of shots displayi...

[quote:3496ace15f="cabstar"]I never used my f50mm 1.4 that much as it always seemed soft, i no longer have that problem shooting at 1.4 and gives a confidence when using that combo that just wasnt there before. My FA50/1.4 requires -10 and -7 AF adjustment respectively on my two K-5's I could ne...

K5IIs: green line in images
I've just taken delivery of a new K5IIs from SRS, and started to find my way around the controls. In principle I like it, but... first serious try-out today, at Lyme Regis, and I noticed that most (not all) of the images have a vertical green line close to the right border, as in the one below (sh...
