K-5IIs - more discussion
+1 for what Andew said. Most of the K5 photos aren't even in focus :shock: apart from some lettering on the camera which has been moved between the K5 and K5IIs shots anyway. I'm surprised that so many people commentating can't see that :wink: 3D shots aren't tests of performance.... they a...

Any comments on the last two shots I posted (the ones of the cotton material)? There's no focus error on these. Regards David

Any comments on the last two shots I posted (the ones of the cotton material)? There's no focus error on these. Regards David Hi David, out of curiosity I've just tried something with those last two images, purely out of interest and in no way intended to disprove your assertion that the K5IIs ...

K-5IIs - more discussion
It sometimes seems to me that my contributions to this forum are just as invisible as the differences between the comparison images posted here. I'll try again by quoting from the dpreview page that I linked to in my last post: "In theory, a sensor without an AA filter, when coupled with a 'perfe...

Getting back on track :wink:, think about this - David says his K511s image is BRIGHTER. What could cause this? Not any of the settings that he says me has managed exactly, and we assume the lighting levels stayed the same. This should have sounded some warnings. Image catalogs (such as PS Eleme...

Where would I get a K5 serviced?
Right, here's what happened. Sent K5 + lens to JPS, they said camera was fine lens was faulty. Sent lens to Intro2020 who then asked for the camera body as well, they sent it off to Germany, did god knows what to the lens, and now it's supersharp, even sharper than it has ever been. So a big t...

D-BG4
I had a copy and it all worked well except for the front e-dial when I was on AV and set the dial for EV compensation. It would start off Ok but would then jump back 4 stops before jumping again. I would have to set EV compensation on the camera as the dial on the grip was so flaky. I managed to g...

Improved AF?
YES!! It is much improved, with all lenses I have tried so far. It is much more 'confident', i.e. locks on with less 'hunting' and also is capable of locking on in very dim light indeed, without the AF Assist. It is also more accurate; you will probably find your lenses need little or no fine AF a...

Improved AF?
As David states the improvement is subtle in terms of speed, but the focus lock is quicker and more precise. The new K5 also has a better screen and is less reflective outdoors. I upgraded to a K5ll's as i wanted increased sharpness and in my opinion the K5ll's is sharper, a lot sharper.

Improved AF?
A difference of opinion then! I've done some very unscientific comparisons between the K-5 and K-30 with regard to af accuracy and just general zip into focus with various lenses, in iffy light, and i think my initial thoughts are correct. The K-30 just seems to have the edge in all respects. I'm no...

Improved AF?
It's all about compromises I suppose. I bought my first K-5 just after they came out because it was the camera body I'd wanted for ages - smaller size, rugged, etc. - but went back to Nikon for a while due to the better lens selection in the range i wanted at affordable prices. Hating the D7000 I en...

Rumoured announcement of several new DSLRs
If the K3 is available in April and replaces the K5 II and IIs then they have been ousted in only seven months? Pentax are not hanging about for once. Best regards IMO the K5ii/iis are so small upgrades to the K5 that they must have been meant to keep sales going while something else is ready, so...

First timelapse vid - Northern Lights
I went to photograph the Northern Lights in Feb, in the far north of Sweden. I went with the intention of shooting stills, but came back with so many stills that I thought I'd have a go at a timelapse video. So here it is - https://vimeo.com/61566851 The trip also gave me a deep respect for t...

Shutter count 21000, too high?
No set life for a camera, could bonk out tomorrow or last for years, shutter count is only a rough guideline and 21000 is about 20% of its estimated life If it's a good price go for it, buy to use and anything you get back is a bonus. Older cameras will never fetch that much given the way techno...

Focus Screen for the K20D
Hi, I am searching for a new focusing screen for my K20D and there seems to be a world shortage. Does anybody out there have any ideas where I can get one? Also, is it worth changing the original screen for a split screen type and are the OEM versions any good? Thanks Anstonian

Focus Screen for the K20D
Having tried a split screen one I eventually settled on the Pentax grid one. Given that the K20 is getting on a bit now, eBay might be the best place
