Hi speed flash
Stuart, This is not a "lack" on Pentax's part ;) The requirement for a digital 'modern' flashgun is because HSS requires the flashgun to pepper the scene with small bursts of light. And this requirement is the same for EVERY manufacturer ;) (Unless you have a leaf shutter) The highest sync...

Hi speed flash
One thing about HSS I don't get is, why is it not possiblle to implement HSS in live view mode as the shutter is fully open all the time? Is it to do with the mechanics of the sensor electronics scanning the sensors diodes ?

pentax k5
I had the K-7 (same sensor but faster burst rate) and upgraded to the K-5iis. What a difference, I was staggered. You'll need a fast lens for motorsport though ,something like the Sigma 70-200 f2.8. It's my go to lens at the kart track. Some for you

Two interesting articles ...
CSCs and compacts are great, but DSLRs just have so much more flexibility, speed, better ergonomics IMHO, and importantly an OVF. I am always puzzled why people ditch their full frame DSLR to go for a Sony NEX7 (or whatever). Why not a smaller crop-sensor DSLR, and get best of both worlds. Or maybe ...

Two interesting articles ...
I sold my K-30 and lenses earlier in the year as the dslr was simply too heavy, with all the kit, to take traveling. I bought a compact 20X superzoom instead. It was a tough decision and having used it in a variety of locations ranging from animal shots on safari, through street shots in cities to l...

Are we going to get Re-Branded John?
It's the line that says "Pentax name will certainly not be disappearing from existing product lines" that's ambiguous to me, maybe they'll go all electronic? Leave the "Traditional"/existing products with Pentax on the front and as the all new come out replace them with Ricoh, so maybe a couple of y...

Wedding Photographer
Smeggy, your points about the IQ differences are very valid, however yet again we are missing the point about what it is that can go into making a great photo equipment-wise. For example, the classic 'pro-look' that non-photographers often identify as special is the typical portrait headshot wit...

Mifsuds are a Pentax Pro Dealer again
I bought my original K-5 from Mifsuds as they were doing a fantastic deal at the time. Never again, when I found out it had the sensor stain problem I had all sorts of trouble trying to get them to collect it. Eventually they did (after I started quoting the SOGA) but when the second one had the sam...

Flash Sync Speed Now & In The Future
What matters more is the specific applications where you might need higher speeds. Am I right in thinking that the main limitation of a maximum sync speed is in bright conditions when you don't want to stop right down but need flash for some fill? The classic example of this would be portraits in th...

Commercial shoot in Doha
Compositionally and technically excellent! Love the tones and white balance control also. :) Nice Set .... So who needs Full Frame then ..... For any output where you need extra resolution or dynamic range, or you need to print bigger than the total image data from an APS-C sensor would allow at...

Commercial shoot in Doha
Thanks for the comments! I can't see that typo, Gwyn, there isn't the word "aerial" where you pointed out a typo? There was another typo in the text that someone very kindly PM'ed me about. Thanks! Compositionally and technically excellent! Love the tones and white balance control also. :) ...

Commercial shoot in Doha
Basically they are both the same. At least one grid is required which is always there with the sensor. Several lines or a single line will produce jagged lines. Dots can also produce moire as can mathematically produced shapes... http://lspwww.epfl.ch//books/moire/kit.html Lots of K-5iiS phot...

LED lighting for portraits etc
Thanks for the comments and experiences. The points about the spectrum of the light emitted really gets to the heart of colour and why we see colours and then how the camera can interpret and balance what its sensor sees. We just have to scroll through the white balance settings to be reminded a...

Are Calumet o.k. to deal with?
I know it's an oldish thread but felt I had to add to my previous comment. I went into Calumet (Manchester) today with a first question being "Will you accept these vouchers?" My concern being they had not been date stamped but the guy behind the counter remembered selling them and knew the occas...

Canon or Nikon?
And there's me thinking "John's going to have his work cut out cleaning this one up!" and then what do I find! Personally I prefer Canon :twisted:

My iST DL can behave oddly with the batteries. Try cleaning the battery contacts and see if that helps.
