Very nearly returned to the fold this week...Or HOLY BREXIT BATMAN!
I am still more than happy with my K-5IIs. I bought a K-3II and grip a few weeks ago but apart from focus adjusting a few lenses on it I haven't even taken it out of the back garden. I hear ya there Mike, that 16Mp sensor of Sony's hit a sweetspot and no mistake, of the 24's I've tried, the K3 is ab...

Very nearly returned to the fold this week...Or HOLY BREXIT BATMAN!
Certainly is Bill, glad I entertain! :twisted: These days I don't get nearly as twisted over gear as I used to, I would never really buy a K1 as it would never leave the house if I had something smaller and lighter, nice thing it surely is but impractical for me but I can still admire it right? My...

Sorry about your health Jules, it is a big factor when the camera bag gets too heavy. I thought this interesting on Pentax Rumors as it might mean smaller lighter gear on the way... Best wishes to you, do keep popping in. The 2016 Photokina show starts next week and so far I have not heard any...

KS2 Tehering
Doesn't the K-S2 have time-lapse built in? It is called "Interval shooting" and is one of the several available drive modes (see p. 35 of the Start Guide). I have never used it with my K-S2 but it appears to allow one to set repeating shots at intervals settable from 2 seconds to 24 hours, with an...

K10D for IR?
Hi all I appreciate IR conversions have been touched upon in other posts, but I've a couple of specific questions I'd appreciate any thoughts on. I have an old K10D in pretty sorry state after my wife went a*** over t** in Brecon whilst carrying it round her neck a few years ago. Luckily, t...

K10D for IR?
Great, many thanks John and Derek both - I'll look to get a screw-in IR filter and give it a go! Some great images there Derek, btw. I've only got older K series 50mm lenses but I'll be shooting full manual, so can easily manually stop down - I might keep an eye for an a-series 28mm in the upcom...

K10D for IR?
@ petrochemist are there advantages in using a mirrorless camera for conversion? Yes, several. With a filter fitted to the lens the viewfinder still shows the scene - my camera is full spectrum converted, so I usually have a filter fitted many of which you can't see through. AF works from the...

Highlight and shadow control in settings
There is something about it in the K30 review on DPR and how it is used to expand the DR of the camera/ sensor

Best Pentax DSLR / lens combo for Wildlife photography
Hi Paul I am currently restarting wildlife's such as I just have not been making the effort to use my long glass but intend to. I apologise if any of the below seems condescending, it is not meant to. Birds in flight are a bit odd as even with the fastest af systems a lot of shots are awful...

Best Pentax DSLR / lens combo for Wildlife photography
You're sounding like Jules tonight, following his footsteps! I suppose a D500 is a bit of a lorry by comparison to a smart K-1 (larger camera with a smaller sensor.) According to a certain camera comparison site that is regarded as a downgrade. :wink: http://cameradecision.com/compare/Nikon-D500...

Pentax K3iii what & when?
Jak wrote [Thought they just did, they call it the K-1. It doesn't have to be used as a full frame camera, just set it to APS-C mode and upgrade it instantly to full frame when you're ready at no further cost. Two cameras in one![/quote] Whilst the K1 can be used in crop sensor mode its crop mo...

Pentax K3iii what & when?
Whilst the K1 can be used in crop sensor mode its crop mode pixel count is just under 16 Mp whereas the K3 ii is 24 Mp, so you are losing quite a bit of extra resolving power. Additionally the K3 family can fire away at just a bit over 8 frames/ second. This combination of resolution, frame rate &...

Pentax K3iii what & when?
Hi all, I'm not disappointed with my K3 and find 24 mp brilliant for cropping wildlife even with my 300mm F4 and tele adapter. After all a quarter of a frame is still 6 mp, good enough for printing. On the low light issue I find it different to compare given the resolution is 50% more than my old K5...

Pentax K3iii what & when?
I would echo what Bill Barnes has said in the post above, I'm not disappointed with my K-3 either. Whilst it may be slightly behind a K-5iis in the noise department, I can't really see much difference in my images. Granted, I don't go above 3200 ISO. I do think the K-3 will be replaced soon tho...

Pentax K3iii what & when?
On the low light issue I find it different to compare given the resolution is 50% more than my old K5 so you will see more of what is there good and bad. I don't use above 1600 ISO but didn't on my old K5 either. Perhaps Sony could provide a 20 mp sensor as a good compromise for APSC? This is a shot...

K1 in crop mode. How is it for you?
I have used a few DA's, because I'm not keen on buying a 15-30 that doesn't take filters (without scaffolding).. The 10-17 is fine from 15mm. The 12-24 is fine from about 18mm. Also the 35mm f2.4, 50mm f1.8, and 70mm f2.4 all seem fine. The Sigma 18-35 f1.8 is supposed to be ok from 24mm. My 300mm a...

K1 in crop mode. How is it for you?
Any DA lens will work on the K-1 the same as on a K5iis at the same resolution and will, by default, use them as APS-C lenses. However many DA lenses cover a larger area than an APS-C sensor and the K-1 can be made to over-ride the default APS-C setting and use them at either full frame or 1:1. So...

K70 Review
Well that's more pro's than con's. Got to be good! Also, "Raw image quality that is among the best the APS-C sensor size has to offer...... the K-70 trumps both its mirrorless and its DSLR competion." Sounds good too, and that's from DPR who are notorious for knocking the brand. The review also ...
