worth upgrade k5IIs to K-3
I'll stick with my original K5 then and keep buying those discounted lenses out there. I'll be trying out my new (lower price) HD 1.4 tele adapter on my recent purchase of a used but mint 300mm F4 properly next week at Flamborough Head. It also appears (despite no listing in instructions) to wor...

worth upgrade k5IIs to K-3
I have had K-3 for 12 months and a K-5iis for nearly 2 years, I like and use them both. I've taken lots of photos with both of them, many on the same shoot, so I think I am fairly well placed to make observations on this. For me, the post by Jules makes the most common sense of any in this thread....

worth upgrade k5IIs to K-3
Well after having the K10D, K20D, K-5, K-5II, K-3 and back to a K-5IIs (because I think the K-3 sucks) :wink: I have to say my favourite at low ISO was the sensor from the K10D. Could have saved myself a sackful of cash ... although I guess nowhere near as much as Jules if he had stuck with his f...

MX-1 Purchase
I've just bought one and didn't even bother looking at other suppliers. SRS are usually very competitive on price but for any small difference in price, the 2 year warranty and their after sales service in most definitely worth the difference. In general, I agree. Have we heard back from SRS about...

MX-1 Purchase
Really wish you hadn't mentioned that, Mike. I've been swithering for a couple of weeks about buying an MX-1 after some great feedback and sample shots here, but decided I could live without one. I deal with Amazon.fr quite often and, thanks to Mike's tip-off, should be receiving an MX-1 from them i...

MX-1 lens cap
I think you could be right. Can't see anything from the outside but a bit of grit would be enough to cause the problem. The problem will be paying someone's time to take it apart to find out. I'll report back when he's heard from Johnsons in case anyone else runs into this situation. Al

Remote shutter release connections.
I have a remote shutter release it has a stereo jack plug and just like the main shutter release button light touch does focus and heavy does shutter. I would like to build a remote trigger using a Arduino but however I try with meter I can't work out which contact is common and which is shutter ...

Shake Reduction on an k5 vs Kx
Hi, Ive recently bought a used K-5 from Ebay as a step up from my K-x and took it out for a spin.Almost all of my longer shots with the DA 55-300 were poor. After doing a few experiments comparing the K5 with the Kx today to check focus ,I realised that the dust removal I have set to run on power...

Shake Reduction on an k5 vs Kx
Thanks for the pointers guys, I think I've found the culprit(s). for the fuzzy long shots. On the KX I had it set so that the shutter doesn't release without focus whereas on the K5 it was set otherwise. I also think the slightly different placement of the rear focus button is playing havoc wit...

New Camera Pentax Leaked
If the design is accurate then it strikes me that the mirror box could easily be removed and we'd end up with a CSC. Either for current lenses with an extension of some sort to give the correct back focus or a thinner body with new lenses. In this scenario I'd imagine a design that could share qu...

I suspect this may be a wind up. It looks wrong for Pentax to issue photos of a new body with an obsolete lens attached, even if they are 'secret' images? Why would they do this? Even if it is a fake, I like the idea of the mode dial being moved to the back! Regards David

look closely at this image... in the lcd view you see "virtual" buttons... that replicat the physical buttons on the camera back.. on your ios device you'd have a touch sensitive screen... also supports my theory that the green lights in the hand grip are a wi-fi signal strength bar.. I believe ...

I agree the mirror box looks tacked on, but doubt it is removable... My guess is it might... have a hybrid af system . pentax does have a patent for a sensor shift af module that moves the sensor to achieve focus . this would work great for video af while the mirror is up.... just saying... it w...

I think the black dot in the handgrip is a cloned out circle to hide the spot where the projector lens resides.... Are you serious? :) A projector lens for what? If it was a blanked out hole I would expect it to be the same colour as the case. I think its much more likely to be the IR detecto...

Perfect for travel I'd say Horst, with a raft of nice Ltd's! Waiting to see some more of the detail fleshed out like metering and focus set up but it looks very well specified and you can turn the Blackpool illuminations off too!:D The rear thumb-wheel lighting up is a nice touch and all, and stop...

Looking at the rear screen on the video around the one minute mark I see a group of what looks to be focus points, 11 of em? Could just be metering mode I suppose but it looks like focus points to me...
