FULL FRAME OR APS-C
It's an interesting question/conundrum that I see a number of people pondering. I shoot exclusively APS-C and couldn't be happier. Whilst I recognize some advantages of the larger sensor K1 it doesn't tempt me one bit. I know I don't want the extra size, weight and cost. I'm certainly interested in ...

FULL FRAME OR APS-C
I wonder why anyone would not move to full frame if thinking of upgrading. Do you print ? If printing at a size of 24"x16" or larger the 36MP sensor has distinct advantages. If you have a large collection of FF older lenses it is nice to use them on a format for which they were intended, otherw...

FULL FRAME OR APS-C
It really depends on what you want. The K1 will give you better image quality, a bigger VF and the originally-intended field of view of older lenses. You pay for that in size, weight and burst rate plus size, weight and cost of lenses to go with it. Personally, I love my K-3 and would love to g...

FULL FRAME OR APS-C
Thanks to all regarding this topic. As you will have guessed I am just an amateur photographer and can't imagine me needing to print "poster size" pictures. I have a number of pictures of my own work on the walls in my house, requested by the wife I hasten to add. These are a max size of approx 20" ...

FULL FRAME OR APS-C
If I had to choose one area of photography to concentrate on it would be landscape and from what I read a FF is best for this type of work. Hence my question. It does seem though that an APS-C sensor has all the attributes I need. I was starting to examine the possibility of upgrading to the K3-lll ...

Anyone have a clear grasp on the K3.3 crop function
I believe that when shooting 4K video the camera only uses part of the sensor (so it applies about a 1.4x crop) so maybe that’s what the viewfinder overlay is for ? (FYI- I’m doing lots of research on the new K3 iii, but I’m still on the fence on whether to invest…… I really want to stick with...

Anyone have a clear grasp on the K3.3 crop function
I think the crop function is not just about reduced file size but also provides a very nice built in focal length “extender” So shooting with a DA* 300mm yesterday it became clear that whilst the normal crop factor associated with the APS sensor results in an equivalent image size of 450mm Foca...

Anyone have a clear grasp on the K3.3 crop function
But doesn’t that just mean your are using a smaller area of the sensor which gives the same result as cropping in post processing? Yes, you are correct. The focal length of a lens is a physical property of the lens and does not, and indeed cannot, change if the size of sensor the image circle is ...

Anyone have a clear grasp on the K3.3 crop function
Well, there is only one reason for a crop sensor, it makes it cheaper. It has no advantage whatsoever except price. It does not increase the focal length of a lens. If you have a full frame sensor and post process it to about 2/3 of its size, you have the same effect. Say you have a 300mm lens an...

Anyone have a clear grasp on the K3.3 crop function
Well, there is only one reason for a crop sensor, it makes it cheaper. Or to put it another way, there is only one reason for a full frame sensor rather than medium format, it makes it cheaper... :? :? :? :!: :!: I think there's more to having different sizes of sensor than just price. Steve

Anyone have a clear grasp on the K3.3 crop function
Of course you are right, It possibly has to do with the size and weight, but technically, the smaller the sensor, the less expensive. the larger the sensor the better the quality, Even if all the sensors no matter what size, had the same amount of pixels, the larger sensor still has a better pictur...

Anyone have a clear grasp on the K3.3 crop function
The discussion regarding focal length, image circle and recording medium size is largely true, and has been since the days of film (5x4 v 6x7 v 35mm etc.). The issue as to recording medium size is a bit more complicated. The sensor consists of a certain number of photosites. You can have a "ful...

Viewing L/V on Laptop
Yes, a field monitor would do the job, too. It's probably the most convenient option for macro 'in the field' (smaller, mountable on tripod etc.). I chose the laptop route because it was cheaper (having already got the laptop) and would only be used for 'table-top' macro. Worth noting that for bo...

K1/1 playing up
I have similar problems with mine but it seems to be worse. The first few shots when using the K1ii are blank images if the camera has not been used earlier that day. Doesn’t matter which lens is attached. The shutter sound is not normal when this happens (seems a shorter noise as if mirror not...

Hi Guys, Just wanted to ask has anyone had any dealings with the Pentax authorised repairer's J Pye Auctions ? I have a K1 with a faulty shutter. (not clearing the sensor). I had heard on the grapevine the can take a while for a repair, and can be very expensive. But after contacting several other, ...
