Advice on SR
I leave it on all of the time: it's such a brilliant development and, of course, still works with the cheap old manual lenses I use. I suppose in good light with wide lenses it wouldn't make any difference but together with the K5 sensor's low light ability, it's amazing what slow shutter speeds one...

Presumably Pentax Lenses designed for film bodies would be ok for FF. How do you know if those designed for digital would be ok? That would apply equally to a Pentax FF. Are some FF bodies able to switch between sensor formats?

I collected my Sony A7 yesterday, and so far so good, But I bought it to compliment my Pentax kit, not to replace it, I could of bought the K3 but I don't like the idea of filling a small size sensor with as many pixels as possible, and also never owned a FF sensor camera and wanted to see what ...

Not necessarily expensive and for landscape photography in particular I think most people will agree FF is the preferred choice over a crop sensor Simple analogy to me is that I support a football team and always think of them as number one in my eyes. On occasions though I have had to admit they...

A lot of Pentax users are very interested to see how Pentax lenses perform on a full frame sensor. Surely the level of interest and discussion generated on a forum will help Pentax to gauge the needs of their customers. It's free market research. Many of those interested parties would prefer ...

It's very simple really If I use a Pentax lens on a Sony body does that stop me then being a Pentax user??? Likewise if I use a Sigma lens on a Pentax body does that make me a Sigma or a Pentax user??? So is it the camera body that makes you a Pentax user or the lens, as it cannot be the senso...

Why is it a resolving contest? There's far more to image quality then just the amount of pixels. Fully agree. I'm really surprised at the objections to Full Frame amongst Pentax users. I suspect it's come from years of having to dream up excuses as to why Pentax didn't really need one in it's l...

:wink: I'm really surprised at the objections to Full Frame amongst Pentax users. That's because Pentax don't make one yet. Just wai to see how the views will change once they do release a FF Camera. All do a sudden FF will be great. :) :) Pentax don't yet make a FF DIGITAL camera, but they mad...

Agreed Smeggy, but as always there's more to this than meets the eye (!). A lot of the difference is colour noise which is quite easy to deal with. Also, as demonstrated in the images above, you are seeing a more magnified image due to the higher resolution of the K-3. When making prints at the...

[quote:3496ace15f="Blythman"]I really don't see any point in comparing images of different sizes and jumping to conclusions. That's why I did compare them at the same size. :) You can easily see the differences of those examples I posted viewing the full frame at the same size. I posted the f...

I've no other complaints about the K-3 from what I've seen, I'm sure it's damn good camera and have no complaints about it at lower ISOs where it equals the K-5, but very high ISO performance is important to me. Not aimed at you, but I can't see the point of "purchase defending" by people who don...

Has anyone actually tried a good FF camera and compared real world images against a crop sensor? Not necessarily in a technical way, but looked at them both to decide which they prefer Test charts are fine for advertising and reviews, but not really much help to assess everyday use

I'm not going to trawl the thread to check if anyone has asked the question already, but here goes: What would getting FF give you that a K-3 won't? 36x24 wasn't considered Full Frame until Oscar Barnack came along and when APS (film) came along in the 1990s the manufacturers boasted that the ...
