K-5II vs K-5IIs

The two statements "reduces detail resolution" and "Capture stunning landscapes and scenes with maximum depth of field and clarity." would seem to be contradictory, so which is right, if any? If you read the rather convoluted sentence carefully, especiually noting the semi-colon, what it is saying ...

K-5II vs K-5IIs

It's a good job that some of the cameras aren't made in Japan and others made in Vietnam :shock: :roll: For more detail in landscapes I would actually put a Filter ON :mrgreen: (Tiffen Haze-1)

K-5II vs K-5IIs

Maybe people find it hard to accept that Nikon and Pentax are deluding themselves by offering variants with no AA filter? As far as I'm concerned I expect that they have enought comptence to sort this out and it's more a matter of quantifyiing the difference for different applications. This will ...

K-5II vs K-5IIs

Maybe people find it hard to accept that Nikon and Pentax are deluding themselves by offering variants with no AA filter? It would seem so. Even to the extent of disregarding the actual pictures produced by each model and/or speaking in extreme hyperbole like "significant differences", "much more de...

K-5II vs K-5IIs

"Does anyone have some simplified thoughts on real world pros and cons on which body to choose?". Get the K5IIs it's the top model and produces the best images? Any other issues (no AA filter :roll:) are of no 'real world' concern. The 645D has no AA filter - and that really is the top model...

K-5II vs K-5IIs

The point is a simple one - the evidence shows that it is difficult to see any differences between images from the II and the IIs, even when viewed close up at high magnification, so they are unlikely to show in Dave's (the OP's) photos when viewed as would a normal person, and no-one has yet produc...

K-5II vs K-5IIs

That image looks very clean for ISO 3200 Daz and the colour rendition is great. I doubt whether my K-5 with AA filter could equal that for ISO 3200. Maybe everyone's been focussing too much on whether or not the IIs is sharper than the variants with the AA filter? Maybe there are other 'real worl...

K-5II vs K-5IIs

I think we should look at this another way - the AA filter has always been there to compensate for sensor technology limitations, ie: the production of moire under certain conditions. On the most modern and larger sensors (APS up) available now, technology has improved to the point that moire produc...

K511

Still the great unanswered question though - K-5 II or IIs? Isn't it odd that Pentax charges more for a camera that has a bit missing? :lol::lol::lol: Did they have to remove the AA filter, hence incurring additional labour charges, or did they just not put it in in the first place. If the latter...

K511

I would think the sensor came with the aa filter attached, which they then had to remove, making it a premium product which attracts a higher price.

Problem with k5

You may need to post a photo to show us exactly what you mean. If you use a polarized filter it can create banding at wide angles. Regards George

Banding/ spot

Thanks for your help guys - correction OFF seems to have worked. However I have another issue.... I took this shot of The Nobbies (I know, great name!!) Phillip Island, Victoria, Aust this week using my K30 with my 15mm f4 and a B+W ND10 filter on the lens and got this strange line across the bot...

Banding/ spot

Square or round filter?

Banding/ spot

It's not light leakage that has caused this issue - it is too defined and uniform. If a square filter was used it looks very much like the filter was positioned incorrectly. Other than this, I can't think of anything else that would cause this effect. Regards David

Banding/ spot

Yes a square filter bottom seems like the clear explanation doesn't it, but no.... it was a circ polariser and circ ND. :-(

K-5 IIs sensor cleaning

..Just a thought Would the cleaning of the K-5 IIs sensor be more complicated now it doent have a filter on the sensor...

K-5 IIs sensor cleaning

I doubt that it makes any difference as I'm guessing the sensor will still be protected by the IR blocking filter.
