Full Frame So They Say
Lets get real, any Pentax FF will be expensive (it won't be cheaper than current FF cameras and lower volumes suggest it would be more expensive). It will annoy half the Pentax users because it's too big or isn't a digital K1000/MX/LX or Ricoh decide to put their name on it. Whether it has an articu...

Full Frame So They Say
Hi cameradextrous, You think it will be more expensive than a D4s, EOS 1D X or Leica M, all of which are current FF cameras. Not necessarily, but I think it will be more expensive like-for-like whether it's a 'pro', 'prosumer' or 'enthusiast' body. The existing FF manufacturers have already paid ...

Don't think Mike P has a "Full Frame" model ... yet, well not up until last week anyway!:wink: Says the man who has had countless brands of camera body ... how many was it up until you got your K-3 back? :D Personally I would quite like to try full frame but most of my photography seems to requi...

The thing I await discovering with bated breath is - if/when the FF Pentax is finally delivered........ What will be the biggest gripe on the forum become? :twisted: ....and at the risk of being branded a blasphemer - perfectly happy with my K5 and K5IIs and can't wait to pick up one of your c...

Mirror/shutter flap on a K3 can someone describe please, I' m on my 2nd K3
hi All, I' m on my 2nd K3,; not comfortable , the cameras will have a significant amount of serious work. I am committed to a Pentax and have invested heavily to convert from Canon ( and will never go back). K 3 - in the field; my first one did not perform like some of "it's sibli...

Mirror/shutter flap on a K3 can someone describe please, I' m on my 2nd K3
I have suffered the mirror flap twice now, Once before the upgrade and once afterwards. Though I have taken several thousand shots since the last time it happened. I too have been disappointed by the autofocus on the K3, I find my K5 II performs better especially in the auto select setting. The K3 ...

Mirror/shutter flap on a K3 can someone describe please, I' m on my 2nd K3
Hi David, Thanks for your comments re the tele converter, however for clarity and qualifying my reference to the Pentax Teleconverter; both are very good for sure, but controlled test shots examined side by side are not just similar but identical even down to the same ca and halo type aspects. b...

Mirror/shutter flap on a K3 can someone describe please, I' m on my 2nd K3
It's interesting for me reading your post Daronl for a few reasons. 1) is that the K5ii from memory is one of the last of the pre Ricoh software/processor units. This is also the last to have satisfactory sensor stabilisation in video mode also. I just don't think their software is as polished ...

Mirror/shutter flap on a K3 can someone describe please, I' m on my 2nd K3
I have said very little about my K-3 since selling it but I found a lot of the points in this thread (and there is also another on a different forum giving much the same conclusions) about the focusing/tracking ability rung true. After using the camera for a couple of airshows alongside my 7D (RIAT)...

Pentax D-SLRs with spotting scopes
Does anyone have experience of using a D-SLR with a spotting scope. I have a sigma 500mm manual focus lens for wildlife, but carrying camera bag, big lens, tripod and spotting scope is a pain.

Tried a K-S1 today...
Grip is narrow and sharp but would sit well with Ltd's Rear mode dial is a bit stiff, deliberately so I think, actually found the interface quite appealing. Focus in the shop seemed very sure and quick on the big fat ugly kit lens!:lol:

Not sure it'll have the 24Mp one Richard, I'd say the 20Mp one out of the K-S1 is more likely but you never know? Gives a bit more differentiation between the models, I think we got a bit spoiled with the K30/50/500/5/5II,all with 16's. Now they're putting the anti aliasing simulator in Mid range (B...

Right make of these what you will, NOT IN THE LEAST BIT SCIENTIFIC! All taken this AM in my local Wilkinson Camera store. All OOC Jpeg Nothing altered, all at ISO 3200 with a 50mm F1.8 at F2.8... No idea what mode metering etc/etc, for Barnsey, I think the EXIF is there this time!:lol: Kicker i...

k10
I came from a K100d to a K30 and I've noticed so many little improvements that it's hard to just say it's better for just this reason or that. Given the run out type pricing that seems to be happening on the K-50 (well in the US at least) I'd be tempted to take a closer look. Yes the shutter is ...

Old question, new slant. Help needed please.
It's been a long time away but I have kept viewing these forums. Auto focus with Pentax when photographing birds in flight. The general consensus has been that Pentax are too slow to catch said shots. After spending the summer searching the likes of flickr, I'm not at all sure that this is wholly co...

Old question, new slant. Help needed please.
Hi 1. I think you are correct it is the camera, although it has improved with the K3. 2. To some degree the lens can effect focus speed eg SDM v Screw drive. Larger aperture etc. 3. relates to 2. The thing you have not mentioned is Focus Tracking which I think is where other brand score...

Old question, new slant. Help needed please.
I find the 300 prime a big improvement. i use continuous AF for it. Not good on 55 - 300 due to hunting and screw drive noise :-) I only use centre point AF for telephoto and centre weighted metering when I remember. I find turning off shake reduction helps if you know you are to be panning. ...
