K5 Sensor Issues...
Same here, I haven't used anything more then a rocket blower and occasionally a Arctic Butterfly which is also a great tool.

K5 Sensor Issues...

I hadn't noticed the Sticky was in place. It's gone now.

Real Life Sensor Test
OK, so I got up this morning and wanted to know what (if any) would show up in real life pictures that I may take. Sadly, it does show quite strong (in the original size). I just use here a smaller size from , but you still can see the fault to the left of the Weather Vane Cloud (9'o clock just o...

I can't see anything, can you highlight it?:D

Use this . The picture is not full size but you can see the fault in the highlighted part. As mentioned in a previous post my fault is not that drastic as it is with others but it is still there! Some might think that I should put up with it, but if you pay £1000+ for a camera you expect it to be...

Ouch, that is quite evident on yours SmutjeUK... :? As you say you could easily PP it out, but when you've paid a £1,000 for a camera you shouldn't have to... EDIT: lol you edited yours when I was typing so it looks like I repeated what you said... lol :)

For one reason or the other Flickr does NOT let me upload (or show) the full size image but you should be able to see it in the large size now that it is highlighted. The Original is about 4x the size and is far more visible. The only other way would be to crop the image but I wanted for the image t...

OK here is another to another one where the fault is visible. This is a Sunrise picture and far more difficult to edit in PP. It is a bit of a shame that I can not figure out how to upload the full size picture on to as it is a bit more difficult to see but clearly visible in the full size pictu...

If I set the monitor zoom to 400% I can see the individual spots. I think you should be thinking about sending it back.

I think that Smutje should make prints of all these so that when his camera goes back to SRS for replacement Chris has the evidence. Since these show it quite clearly make another set of prints with the date imprinted on them .

Real Life Sensor Test
I already agreed with SRS that I get a replacement in the beginning of January, so no problem there. I just was up early today to try the interval timer I got of feeBay out (I know the K-5 has an interval timer build in but this one has a few more functions) and it just occurred to me that so far I...

My K5 is going back to SRS next Monday, I decided to give it a run out at the weekend and got some photos of Waxwings. I didn't think I'd have a problem at F8 but I did, on a few of the shots I had to do some cloning to remove a spot in the centre of the frame. I hope my replacement doesn't have t...

Sensitivity Priority Mode- when would you use it?
In terms of affecting the exposure we only have three variables - aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Aperture affects what is in focus - depth of field. Shutter speed affects the appearance of moving objects and is a factor in camera shake. ISO affects the sensitivity of the film/sensor and ...

K-7 V K-5 as a replacement for the K20D
Taking into consideration the VAT increase in the new year, and the current price of the K-5, would the K-7 be an alternative choice? I ask, as, although I love my K20D, it does have some shortfalls compared to the two newer models. I won't consider the K-x and K-r as I do want the three things t...

K-7 V K-5 as a replacement for the K20D
I must admit that the K7 doesn't really have enough for me to see it as a significant upgrade from my K20D - the K5 however has improved Dynamic range, faster focus,improved Live View, improved FPS and better noise handling, a no-brainer for me despite the price difference. The only thing that's sto...

K-7 V K-5 as a replacement for the K20D
K-5 at any time. I was in a similar situation where I wanted to replace my Samsung GX-10. It was either saving up or compromising. In any case, I saved up and never looked back, even so that I have to send it back for a replacement in the beginning of January. Believe me, I will miss my K-5 till I...

K-7 V K-5 as a replacement for the K20D
I upgraded from a K100D to a K7 when I was made redundant in the spring this year so no K5 available. My initial reaction to the K7 was disappointment as it seemed very difficult to get good results from it compared to the K100D. I have stuck with it despite the arrival of the K5 & Kr and I am...

Greatest Feature of a Pentax DSLR
For me it was... 1st, the K Mount. All I needed was a PK adaptall 2, and almost all of the lenses that I had been so happy using on my Nikon FA went straight to work on my K100D 2nd, Sensor SR. All lenses benefit from the sensor based SR. At first I thought this to be a bit of a gimmick...
