Pentax mirrorless SLR
Excellent link you posted Algi ! .... http://www.thephoblographer.com/2013/10/30/finding-wrong-sony-a7-a7r-far/.... very interesting and informative. I have been hearing so much from other members recently about this technology that I took the chance to try it today in a Currys superstore - a...

Pentax mirrorless SLR
Anyone putting Good Pentax lenses on a Sony A7R would be safer changing the cheap plastic lens mount for a metal one. :lol: Also thanks to Eric for showing how to fix a known light leak on the mount. :shock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2PDpLDa2P0 Be careful not to scratch the sensor :lol:...

Worth noting the A7 was first of its kind. The A7ii has just been announced and has addressed the larger deeper grip and metal mount, among other things, as well as adding inbuilt FF sensor stabilisation. ILC is a better term, meaning interchangeable lens camera. CSC seems to have defined th...

Pentax mirrorless SLR
Indeed. It's no small feat squeezing a full frame sensor into a body that size and hats off to Sony for even attempting it. Doesn't excuse what may be a flimsy mount, but these flaws will be addressed I'd think as the series evolves. I know the Fuji Pro 1 had a number of flaws when it was introdu...

Pentax mirrorless SLR
You can't have a waterproof camera that uses adapters which don't even stop the lenses from wobbling. Lenses designed for one system won't work properly on another. I guess you haven't seen the Pentax 1.4 rear converter. I'll include a link for you This is an adapter that mounts between a le...

Pentax mirrorless SLR
A main prioroty for me is to have a smaller camera and something like the K series only mirrorless is what I'm looking for, but there's nothing that really fits the bill in the market just now. Don't forget the Q-S1, which can deliver amazingly good quality from its small sensor. As for larger mi...

Pentax mirrorless SLR
Interesting perspective about the sizes of cameras such as The Pentax K3's, S1's, and even K01's... But consider this. The S1 is almost as small as they can get with a PK dslr. Sure they could make a mirrorless, but at a bit of a cost. One has to remember the distance between the lens mount an...

K30 upgrade to K3?
Thanks for taking the time to reply Fletcher8, the lens used depends on the rink and my position to the ice but typically be either the DA* 50-135, 60-250, occasionally the DA 10-17 fish-eye makes it way on to the body for a bit of fun. I appreciate the DA* are not the fastest of lenses to focus, bu...

K30 upgrade to K3?
Barrie, in honesty I would say in terms of ISO the Kills & the K3 are very, very close, as the K3 has more MP, the noise is slightly enhanced, but the K3s extra MP and AF make a really big difference. If you go from a K30 or K50 to a K3 you will see an improvement in relation to the sensor, but ...

The K5 is no more...
This may sound odd but I consider my K5 IIs to be in the same category as my *istD and K10D in that they are keepers as far as I'm concerned. Classics in their own right. Best regards Agreed, was the K100d the first to have in body sensor stabilisation? That's a pretty significant step forwar...

The K5 is no more...
I think of the K7 rather as I do the Mustang: a good design which needed a great engine. For Rolls Royce twelve cylinder Merlin, read Sony 16mp sensor. So maybe it's the chip that's "iconic". But I think there's more to it than that. Pentax have produced some lovely DSLRS following on from the...

The K5 is no more...
I suppose it also asks the question of just what we mean by "iconic"? I know the K5 is a great camera, but, as someone else points out, this doesn't per se make it iconic. There are some iconic designs out there that have not necessarily been great cameras or which were not necessarily groundb...

Possible shopping list.
I would not be without my Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM (from their Art line), it is remarkable through from f1.4 to f8 , then it is just great ( really). It's bigger brother the 85 mm is the same. For low light ( +action) photography it is unbeatable and about half the Pentax version, can be used on c...

Pentax/Ricoh at CP+ 2015
Purely speculative but here goes... Long awaited telephoto zoom, plus a top end 'retro' APS-C, plus a new K60/600 using the 20MP sensor from the Ks-1 in the body of the existing K50/K500 Karlo

dilemma
I'd get a K3, the Tamron and the converter, and sell the K5.... Absolutely no doubt about it!:) That's plenty of future proofing with that sensor, plus the converter will have uses on other lenses in the future. More compact as well than carrying the two telezooms.

Resolution question
Hi All, assuming lens parity could you in theory 1) better IQ at base from an APSC sized 16mp sensor than a m43 sized 16mp one? and 2) would you be able to notice the difference? :? thanks D

Resolution question
A good big 'un should always beat a good little 'un but at "normal" magnifications and at moderate ISOs I bet you'd be hard put to see the difference. Some of us are really quite pleased with the results from the12mp sensor in the MX-1 but make a big enlargement and the laws of physics become al...

Resolution question
When the resolutions are the same then it comes down to the effects of the more tightly packed pixels ... the same number occupying a lesser space . I'm no expert on sensor technologies, but i'd point that aspect up as the key one to consider. So, sensor experts ... what is the effect of packing...
