K1 v K5iis
Thanks K10D, I'm in two minds whether to upgrade from the K5iis to a K1, don't particularly need the full frame format as the 645 is used for landscapes, portraits etc, From a bird in flight shoot at the weekend, if the K1's focussing response is faster, which from comments on this thread and...

K1 v K5iis
In day to day use the K-1 is a nicer camera to use than the K-5 IIs. The interface is very responsive, the third dial is very useful as is the screen. Obviously the viewfinder is bigger too which makes MF slightly easier though I personally never had any trouble with crop cameras. Honestly though...

K1 v K5iis
I shot a lot of images with the K-1 and 150-450mm at Exmoor Zoo and I was very pleased with the speed and accuracy of the focusing. Significantly better than my K-5. There was no juddering to lock on, no hunting through the whole range as can happen with the earlier bodies and particularly the 55...

K1 v K5iis
Don’t forget those Sigmas might need their mount replaced. I still haven’t found out if they do it no questions asked or if you need proof of purchase, etc. Back to your lenses: both the 70-200 and 150-500 are on the list.

K1 v K5iis
I have upgraded progressively 1. K7 to the K5 IIs 2. K5 IIs to K3 3. K3 to K3II 4. and now K1; I am a little pedantic about evaluating the claimed advantages but only two of those upgrades steps brought tangible advantages to the fore that justified them and as I still have the K3, K...

There is a very unfortunate typo in my post so I have now re-written the paragraph I have upgraded progressively 1. K7 to the K5 IIs 2. K5 IIs to K3 3. K3 to K3II 4. and now K1; I am a little pedantic about evaluating the claimed advantages but only two of those upgra...

K1 autofocus speed
Re the K 3 & 3-II, it should also be remember that they have a beefier screw-focus drive motor than all the other Pentax APS-C bodies to-date and focuses the lens quicker (but whether the body AF recognition f/w can keep up is another matter!) - you can certainly tell the difference if you put the ...

Tutorial on K-1 (1hr 16min long)
I just learnt a useful thing from the comments beneath the video - namely, that you can toggle the function of the 4-way switch by using the small button immediately above it. So you can switch between using the 4-way to move focus point to adjusting white balance or setting continuous shooting very...

Dark screen on trying to review image's. What's this please?
Do you have any lenses with a manual aperture ring? For many this often means do you have any older manual focus film era lenses? If so you can manually fix the aperture where you want it to be, and thus remove this task from the camera. Alternatively, try shooting at a high f value, such as...

Dark screen on trying to review image's. What's this please?
If it's faulty manufacturing they should repair it FREE and without a time limit. Sony repaired a lot of cameras sold by other makes covering a 5 year period, but the 5 year limit was set by Sony themselves. I had a Minolta F300 which was effected, but it still worked so I never sent it back. See...

Dark screen on trying to review image's. What's this please?
When Photography Blog reviewed the K30 back in 2012 they stated that the shutter was designed for 100k releases. Now, if that's the case, and in fairness I have no idea of their source, it would seem more than reasonable that the rest of the components were designed to support that target, regar...

Dark screen on trying to review image's. What's this please?
I think when Louise has actually phoned SRS to voice her concerns we should start to see how this will unfold for her. Hopefully some compromise will be reached with Pentax, depending of course on what the actual fault is. It was the shutter (I must have worn it out, har har) No point in having ...

Advice for cheap K5 replacement for wildlife
Hi all I've been using an Olympus OM-D for a while, originally as a lightweight alternative to my DSLR gear but now more permanently because my K5 developed an AF fault that's sadly not economically repairable. My wife and I are looking at an African trip late in the year, and I am considering...

Buying another body
I also had the K3 as well as K5 and K20d. I upgraded to the K1 on Monday. Part exchanged the K5 and k20D, keeping the K3 as a back up. I also part exchanged 4 DA lenses and got the HD FA 24-70mm. I already have an A* 300mm as well as a manual focus 105 mm macro. I have a DA* 60-250 which I intend to...

Birds in flight shots using K-50 and Tamron 70-300mm f4-5.6 lens.
Earlier this AM I took ninety eight shots of BIF in the field at the rear of my home. Of the ninety eight, eight / eleven were worth taking a closer look at. Of these, I've kept six to post in the gallery, under 'nature/wildlife' section. All of the shots will be posted as taken with no Elements edi...

Birds in flight shots using K-50 and Tamron 70-300mm f4-5.6 lens.
I am similarly a great fan of my Tamron 70-300, and it can produce impressive results including at 300mm / f5.6 ... the purple fringing is a known issue around contrasty edges, but with PP where needed its never been a concern to me ... However, like the report on the Pentax 55-300 from David, I ...

Birds in flight shots using K-50 and Tamron 70-300mm f4-5.6 lens.
Glad to see the shot finally appear! :) I agree that the 'consumer level' equipment can deliver the goods, although only generally when conditions are good and things are not conspiring against you. I do feel that the Tamron 70-300mm will continue to be a challenging lens for you for this type of p...
