Then she asked me how much it cost ...... Are LIDL still selling them at £1.99, or has that offer finished now?? :D:D:D Still the same but they have it as a 2 for one offer as well, apparently it's a hard sell now as everyone is leaving Pentax because they want full frame. :twisted: Not me! I've ...

Interesting to read about your experiences Jules, you've definitely tried all the options and then some. I'm interested to know what convinced you to discard ff and come back to the k5?

Interesting to read about your experiences Jules, you've definitely tried all the options and then some. I'm interested to know what convinced you to discard ff and come back to the k5? The best thing about FF isn't the number of Pixels Simon as I'm sure you know, it's main benefit has always been i...

[quote:Plus on other brands we're getting FF models on otherwise 'lower-spec' bodies, ie bodies that might not be ideal for working pros.[/quote] D600 body was definately not up to K5 standard but the D800 is, I'd be happy if the K3 was APSC, as long as it was good quality with a decent pixel cou...

DOF for a given aperture and focal length is the same regardless of sensor size. To expand on that so poor Stuey doesn't get confused: Smeggy is quite correct, the DoF in relation to a lenses focal length doesn't change, what does make the difference is that to fill the frame with the same scene ...

IMHO shallow depth of field is more useful for portrait photographers, that's not to say landscape photographers don't use it but if you look around the web you'll find the vast majority of landscape images aim for maximum depth. I think the reason many landscape photographers have been attracte...

It´s difficult to say, but Pentax already have 37Mpx camera. 645D :) Expectations are for FF 24Mpx :) APS-C could be 24Mpix too, but we do not have such a good glass for it. I am happy enough with 16Mpx... So am I. I have no desire to shoot landscapes that I can blow up to billboard size and t...

Back on topic please guys, although I'm sure considering that we have no idea what the "K-3" might be and never have, it's been well covered quite a few times. As always, when something finally does appear it's always fascinating to see how close or far from the mark the speculators proved to be....

Ahh, I had got carried away with myself there and of course your right John, most lenses these days are pretty well corrected. Just postulating, theories, welcomed here. Will it still follow Pentax's ethos at all? Sony Sensor/non Sony? New Sensor tech? On Chip AF? F8 focus points? More focus ...

K-3 ?
In retirement, photography has become my main hobby, and the K-5 seems already almost perfect for me for that purpose. Generally I really like its design, build quality, weatherproofing, compact size (for a dslr), ergonomics, and unique features. I also enjoy using the compact Pentax primes. I hope ...

I don't think GPS will be on the menu. Faster processor, more pixels and maybe better AF, but the AF on the K-5II variants is pretty darned good, so that is not an area that needs much improvement, maybe a bit more speed and focus tracking ability. Whatever it has, not everyone will be satisfied...

K5 Lowlight AF good enough for Nightclub Photography?
Hello, As the title says I'm wondering if anyone has used the original K5 for nightclub photography and found the AF to be acceptable. I'm currently a student and will be looking to try and get occasional work taking photos in nightclubs. Last term I was living in student halls and so had plen...

K5 Lowlight AF good enough for Nightclub Photography?
K-5II is far, far better. The original K-5 is a little hit and miss in low light from my experience. I have both K-5 and K-5IIs, I trust the IIs in low light as it nails the focus almost every time. Regards David

K5 Lowlight AF good enough for Nightclub Photography?
I think all Pentax dslr focus systems have been poor until the k-5 mkii and k-30 came out.

K5 Lowlight AF good enough for Nightclub Photography?
The k-30 should be fine for club work, however with a 16-50 and a flash attached it didnt feel well balanced to me. Focus speed also depends on the lens used. The tamron 17-50 was slow to focus compared to the da*16-50 on my mki body. The mkii and da*16-50 is in a different league however. Her...

K5 Lowlight AF good enough for Nightclub Photography?
With the naked eye I could just make out that there was a white thing on the next roof, so I put my DA*300 on my K-5iis and had a look, through the view finder I could see no more rally, I then manually focussed until the white thing was more visible and let the camera auto focus to fine tune and th...

That said if your in a studio set up and the camera is continually focusing on peoples feet rather than the face it doesn't sound too good really? If that was happening I'd seriously be looking at my photographic skills. There's absolutely no need for that to be the case. :shock: Exactly. Who the...
