Q at ISO1600
So lets factor that lens interchangeability and RAW file feature and double the price.... £360 for the Q and I wouldn't be complaining. And don't forget the build quality, the SR, the build in ND filter and the leaf shutter. And uhmm IQ... you based that on these small photos? It's not even tak...

Q at ISO1600
....the build in ND filter.... I had a Panasonic FX01 that had the ND filter in it rather than a proper aperture adjustment, you could see it flip down when it got brighter and the camera would report an aperture of 7.1 or something, but there was no real change in the aperture, depth of field etc....

Q at ISO1600
Some lenses have an real aperture and the Q has on e-dail like you find on the K-x, Kr and the likes. The toy lenses have a fixed aperture and no ND filter or shutter but they are pretty cheap. 80 pounds for a lens, you can't really complain right if it's fun to use that is and that what it needs ...

Pancake 40mm or FA 50mm f/1.4?
The DA 40mm has a hood that is integral to the design and can be left in place unobtrusively, which I think really amounts to the same thing. The only reason to remove it would be to fit a filter.

Hands-On Q in AP
The fastest aperture to the Q standard lens is 1.9, the fastest aperture of the TX-5 is 3.5. How many stops different is that Stefan? Yeah and so? I said what about a differnt zoom setting. The Sony TX5 has a maximum aperture which varies from f/3.5 to f/4.6 across the zoom range. How many...

Pentax 18-55 WR Lens Hood
I think its so you can turn the polarizing filter , if you are using one. Exactly, most modern Pentax hoods have this feature. Another example of Pentax being designed for photographers. Davex.

Pentax Q and other bits of info.
It could be the very same person ambient. Currently they only have two reps covering the whole country. At least they are taking the promotional bit of Pentax seriously now. Have you got the link to the DPR post as it would make interesting reading. Anyway a couple of other snippets that I have ...

Pentax Q and other bits of info.
Anyway a couple of other snippets that I have remembered from lunch, mainly to do with the Q The sensor is covered by a filter in front (bypass possibly) so no dust will get near the sensor at all, as it is a sealed unit. - Good thinking All DSLT sensors have a filter in front of them don't t...

Pentax Q and other bits of info.
Yes they do, but normally just in front of the sensor. This is placed well away from the sensor, flush with the mount, and making a sealed unit. It might not be a bypass filter, just a protective window that is easy to clean, yet has no effect on the IQ, it even seemed to have some sort of coating o...

Stop-down metering on the K-5
It's a lot easier Chris just to photograph a white or grey card and read off the RGB value in any editor. A piece of tracing paper over a filter will also work. Generally your meter should read right at f/5.6 and then you will need a +/- constant applying to the exposure. I've just checke...

K-r Noise Reduction Settings
I generally find the default NR settings on the K-r are adequate for most purposes. Its not like high ISO noise is an enormous problem with this camera anyway. I do get noise in my shots, especially when using HDR processing of bracketed shots, but I generally find it easy enough to deal with the no...

Engadget Q review
Not being privy to what happens at Pentax, it's early days yet for the new ownership. It will also take time for investment to filter through as budgets will have to be agreed and allocated. However, there is a good deal of stuff that may well be already on the drawing board or even further down ...
