K20D sell or keep?
So if your K-5 develops a problem, I fail to see where you step back to? I think my own collection would have to be much greater before getting rid of a very serviceable camera. I started with a K-r, then got a K-5. Bought an MX-1 for travel. Considering an old 35mm film jobbie for kicks and mig...

K20D sell or keep?
Bit late to this one but here's my two penny's worth...I sold my K20D last year when I upgraded to a K5iiS. They were worth a little more then so it was financially sensible and I didn't lose too much as I got a good deal when I bought it on here. I kept my K200D as I have some sentimental attachmen...

K20D sell or keep?
AndrewH: Thanks for sharing your views on this matter! I have decided to keep the K20D. Even though I for the time being primarily want to pursue film photography, it is nice to also have a high quality Pentax DSLR system (with a back up camera body). Best regards Bjørn

K20D sell or keep?
The only caveat is that cameras like to be used, so it would be a good idea to regularly exercise it. I do try to use my cameras, although not as much as I should, and this prompted me to do a shutter count. K-7 5330 bought new in 2011 K-5 10482 bought new in 2012 K-IIs 9730 bou...

Pentax K-3 versus Pentax K-5 IIs
Well I have to say I recently purchased the K-3 and to be honest I am really not that excited by it when compared to my K-5II. The autofocus is much the same, the tracking is improved only very slightly and the 5II is certainly better when it comes to shooting above ISO 1600. I also don't like the p...

Pentax K-3 versus Pentax K-5 IIs
I've had a K-5IIs for about 18 months and a K-3 since last November. For me, the K-3 is the better camera and gets used a lot more than the K-5IIs does. It's not so much about sharpness, although the K-3 does edge it due to the higher pixel count. It's more about the WB, the metering, the warmth ...

Pentax K-3 versus Pentax K-5 IIs
Here is my two pence worth. Both the K5ll and the K3 are great cameras. The ISO debate depends on what and how you shoot and any minor noise issues can be cleaned up in post. The K3s tracking is far better than the K5ll. However you have to set this up specifically to different situations and ...

Pentax K-3 versus Pentax K-5 IIs
Joking aside - I can not comment on the K3 but had similar issues when I moved from a K5 to a K5IIs - I may be wrong but suspect it is more down to individual camera than model Carl I think Carl is spot on with this observation. I've had two K-5's, one was way off on the AF and required a big a...

Pentax kit rentals from SRS
No it wasn't.... We've rented over 1000 times now and this wasn't our finest hour. Just for balance, this is not the norm and whilst it is no consolation in this case, we have learnt from it and we now have a much more stringent testing regime both when items come back and before they leave us...

What is the difference
Sometimes I look back at some of my shots and think crikey thats sharp and then I check to see which lens I used and sometimes it's the kit lens! I've had several copies and all have been very good - however none come anywhere near my 16-45 (which the daugter has borrowed for a few days and I miss a...

What is the difference
Great lens. Sadly I only got rid of mine as there was an AF problem at the 16mm end. THe AF would not lock- whatever I aimed at with centre AF (which I always use) but resorting to manual focus easily resolved the problem. I now use a Tammy 17-50 2.8 (non VC version) and I couldn't be happier! ...

Pentax K7
K-5 for me too, although if you can stretch to it you might find a K-5II variant at a decent second hand price and that would be even better because the AF was much improved over the original K-5, both for general accuracy and also the ability to focus in very low light, which is something the origi...

Pentax K7
Ditto. I found the K5 a huge improvement over the K7, mainly as it is so much more capable in low light. Secong hand K5's are pretty cheap now, so I personally think the choice is a no-brainer; get a K5, or, if you can afford it, a K5ii. If you want to shoot video, I think the K30 would be a better ...

Pentax K7
I'd also mention the K-30/K-50 option, as I have one :wink: :oops: Point I'd make though is that it's the same sensor as the K-5 and offers some newer options like focus peaking on live view etc. There are some down points for sure, and the sensor is not used in exactly the same way, but funda...

Pentax K7
Hello, Thank you for getting back in touch regards my question about the K7. I did buy a K7 but have since bought a K5 this week for just under £300. I look forward to comparing the images of the K10, K7 and K5 to see how they all compare. Best Regards, Paul

How tough is the K5
I know that that this is not an "I can top that" competition, but I thought that you may be amused or amazed by the following true story. Many years ago (in the early 1980s) a friend of mine was climbing in the Alps when his Pentax (it was an ME Super) fell out of his rucksack. He actually manag...
