K-5 IIs sensor cleaning
"Ahhh a bit of stubborn muck ....this emery cloth should sort it!" Pink Windolene usually makes a job of it My favourite method to clean stubborn marks off the sensor is Vim and ScotchBrite ;o)

K-5 mkii focus testing
I think the only difference is down to the focus accuracy rather than any difference in sensor or firmware. I have to admit nearly all my shots are keepers now with the better autofocus and there is no more blaming the focus for frustrating use. I am seriously considering getting a second one it ...

JR K5 IIs review
Thankyou John - I see that comparisons are possible with images other than the lens specific ones. I compared two images of the half timbered building and have to agree that the KIIs is sharper. On the other hand looking at a comparison of one of the white balance pictures, I found it much more di...

Interesting review! It's hard to make a really meaningful comparison, owing to the slightly different shooting conditions and perhaps not the best lens choices to expose the resolution which the sensor is capable of! But I can see differences - I found the comparison between the 18-55 / 18-1...

JR K5 IIs review
The deciding factor for me was on a professional basis. Shooting people and weddings the chance of moire on wedding dresses was to big a risk for me. I've downloaded the three sets of RAW files from DPreview. Obviously not a real scenario - but it makes interesting comparison. Ran the three through...

Why the fixation with sharpness ? Because it's £130 extra for the K5IIs :P And because people notice the difference when I print large format :D It's also relevant when aggressively cropping. I'm also interested in hearing from real-world examples of using the K5IIs - but it's a tricky one si...

do you have a K-5 to compare it to? I have the K-5 now... but it's going in for exchange with SRS's deal ;) That said, I feel I know the K-5 mk 1 pretty well now after 2 years and lots of large format prints :D So, on the basis of several thousand images I should be able to give a feel for the diff...

JR K5 IIs review
An amusing verbal sparing session... really a great read :) Having read John's very nice review I see two key problems on the evidential side. 1) To avoid any doubt both camera bodies need to be tested along side each other at the same time under the same environmental conditions with the very...

JR K5 IIs review
I'm late catching up, but it's good to see an actual field test of the two cameras rather than speculation about the differences. John's review was too late for my buying decision, though it does support my thinking (a K5IIs, faulty unfortunately, arrived from SRS a couple of weeks ago). My rati...

My K-5 IIs arrived this morning :D TOP service from SRS as usual!!! :D Wow! :shock: Initial thoughts: * The new rear LCD is brilliant! But it's not 'creating' the perception of increased detail. Comparing out-the-window shots from the IIs to the shots that were already on the SD card from t...

JR K5 IIs review
Comments and images now lead me to believe that rather than upgrade to a K-5 IIs, for image clarity, I should buy either a Limited or * Lens. (and for that Mondrian effect - carry on using the kit lenses) In other words, for high resolution camera I should spend my pennies(!) on quality lenses, ...

Ok... I've had a couple of days shooting with the K5IIs. All good :) * Focus is much, much more definite. The Mk1 was kind of "ooops, back a bit, hang on, forward a touch... yeah", whereas the Mk2 is "ziiip, focus". It knows where it's going and doesn't usually fiddle about ;) Obviously there...

My K-5 IIs arrived this morning :D TOP service from SRS as usual!!! :D Wow! :shock: Initial thoughts: * Detail for landscapes is mind blowing (compared to my Mk1 with the same lenses). BUT the RAW files and JPGs are hovering around 30MB for detailed images! I'll dig around and see if I can ...

Hyperfocal distance on a DSLR
Hi all I have recently bought a number of manual lenses for my K-r. When I used film I often used hyperfocal using the distance scale and aperture markings on the lens. I presume this is possible with a DSLR and manual lenses if you take in to account the smaller sensor as compared to film?...

Hyperfocal distance on a DSLR
THe other way round. If I set F8 on the camera- I would use F11 on the distance scale as the sensor is smaller than film. Does that mean if you set infinity at f16 the DOF will only be between the f11 marks

Why do Pentax lag with autofocus?
Nope I think all manufacturers dumb down entry level cameras to hit a price point the k30 is no exception slow cpu with insufficient memory but passes the overriding criteria .....cheap. . -------------------------------------------- I'm not sure where you get the idea that the K-30 is some thi...
