Am I (we) deluding ourselves?
I've always found and decided about 20 years ago that the "best" software is always the one you are most familiar with so long as it does what you want! It seems beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I use a combination of Irfan View (for the fastest viewing of raw files), Gimp, Noiseaware and Helic...

K-5 Mk II
Oh I'm certainly happy the option has been made available. I'm not into upgrading this time around, but if I were I'd probably stump up the extra for the filterless version. Lightroom has a moire filter now ( including on grad filters and adjustment brushes )

And to be strict it is not that something is taken out (at least based on Nikon D800E example), just another filter in front of sensor reverts what the first filter did (vs splitting light on other plane as well as with conventional model). We'll see what the camera will be like in real life, but j...

K-5 Mk II
This is about as disappointing an announcement as it could get. US$7,000 for the 560mm and only f5.6 !? As for the K5II and K5IIs - the AF looks superb on paper and I welcome the lack of an AA filter in the s (though whether that is good for birding remains to be seen - it isn't necessarily be...

US$7,000 for the 560mm and only f5.6 !? Look at the bright side. The polarizing filter is included in the price.:lol::lol::lol:

K-5 Mk II
The problem with the K-5 II is that it is still largely going to appeal to current Pentax users. And since it is a minor upgrade, only those with money to burn will upgrade from the perfectly good K-5. After two years it's still only a very small stopgap measure. Looking around the forums, it is obv...

K-5 Mk II
I'm quite interested in the idea of the K5 IIs, as moire is not a problem in most of the shots I take, but I'd really like to know how much more detail is it going to actually give? Also, how easy is it to remove moire if it's obvious on any particular subjects? I see that Lightroom 4 can be used to...

K-5 Mk II
There's an interesting comparison of a 5D Mk III with and without the filter , if it actually makes that much difference I think I will be getting a K5 IIs and forgetting about wishing for a FF Pentax completely. That comparison in the link looks highly suspect to me, given that the shots were made...

K-5 Mk II
this was the original comparison with the D300 (which look like they may have been sharpened as well... not 100% sure) The difference will, of course, depend on the strength of the AA filter. I suspect the difference may be larger in an APS-C camera (as opposed to FF). Not long to wait for rev...

Pixel peeping is OK comparing lenses, but not much use comparing AA filter/No filter. If the image size is being reduced later the software will often blur the image (Gaussian Blur) before reducing anyway otherwise you get problems with a moiré effect or an interference pattern. You would ha...

K-5 Mk II
I want to upgrade from K20D to K-5. The K20D is a wonderful camera that is the perfect tool for most of my shooting, except for the niche that interests me the most: Northern Lights and night photography. The K-5 will probably be more than good enough for my needs, but the K-5IIs also looks very int...

K-5 II vs. K-5 IIs - why the price difference?
Can anyone help me with understanding why the K-5 IIs will be £150 more expensive than the K-5 II, given it has less in it, i.e. no AA filter?

K-5 II vs. K-5 IIs - why the price difference?
I believe (although I may be totally wrong) that all sensors come ready made from Sony with the AA filter in place. It's quite a time consuming job to remove them apparently. As I said though, not 100% certain on that, just something I read somewhere.

I don't remember the details off-hand now but I do remember reading the reason why. If you remove the AA filter then there are other adjustments that need to be made to the camera - you can't just remove the filter and away you go.
