K3 II Continuous AF
I've had mixed results with the Pentax K3 while set on the continual autofocus setting. I've found that the CF setting works best with better aperture lenses and also preferably not SDM lenses. So what lenses does this leave exactly? One of the best CF lenses that I've ever used on an intercha...

K3 II Continuous AF
I don't think people are bashing it if they say it's very complex and there is next to know overarching guide from Pentax as to how best to configure the myriad of settings available for different situations. That's simply how it is. Knock them or not, but the scene modes can be excellent for ...

very interesting article. Amazing differences and very very notable sharpness: Its a pitty that using pixel shift will take up so much memory especially when shooting in RAW

Why would it take up extra space? The final image is the same pixel size, just for each pixel my understanding is it has a true colour reading rather than being processed from a single colour algorithm, where they take an educated interpretation as such.

Thanks, good info, I was surprised on the extra size still but the results I reckon are definitely worth it, I hope this does filter down to the existing models.

I hope this does filter down to the existing models. How? Via a firmware patch? Doubt that's even possible.. Even if it was, it would be unlikely that Pentax would want to interfere with sales of the K-3II.

And maybe they should send anyone who wants it a free GPS astrotracing module, with instructions on how to remove your built-in flash and fit the module ....

Looks amazing. Glad the mighty Zed hasn't been replaced just yet tho' ;)

Very impressive indeed. The Pentax images to my eye are significantly better than those from the Nikon D810, albeit the subject has to be stationary. Regards David

Zero.... It would hurt their K-3II sales.

... And pixel-shift may have needed a physically upgraded SR system.

... And pixel-shift may have needed a physically upgraded SR system. to be accurate within less than a pixel!

Very interesting:D Just imagine how this technology may work with a high res full frame model :D It may well be limited due to the need for static subjects but many subjects are static - I will sit back and watch with interest :D

Confused......Lens adapter
It can defintely be done for the Canon FD (35 mm) film SLR lenses. I bought an adaptor from eBay. Most seem to be made in Hong Kong or China. A has already been mentioned, other lenses can only be used in manual mode, but you can set the lens's focal length in the camera and most Pentax cameras ...

The red indicator in the viewfinder do not show when focus is achieved, this is shown by the green hexagon at the bottom of the screen.
