Thoughts on camera for Alaska?
Lucky you! I agree a K-5 is the way to go, and also that you should take something longer than the 18-135. Whilst you may see whales close up you may not. Ditto bears - you don't want to see them too close up :wink:, moose, caribou and birds - don't forget all the eagles up there. You need someth...

Thoughts on camera for Alaska?
This is a once in a lifetime trip to a highly photogenic location and I would maximise my opportunities for wonderful photography. I too think the 18-135 might be a little short. I have no experience of it but some of the images posted from it put me off completely. For landscapes I think IQ lo...

Pentax Full Frame Comment
Some more conjecture but if it happens all good.:D The specs leaked on Photorumors from Sep. 23 appear to be mostly correct: 24MP Sony sensor, new autofocus system with more AF points, no AA filter, some new RGB sensor for either metering or AF not sure which. Some new tidbits for you to consi...

What Lens Hood
I like the collapsible rubber lens hoods from eBay, as they protect the front of the lens. They screw into the 49mm filter thread and if you have a clip-on cap it will clip into the metal ring of the hood. An eBay search for 49mm rubber lens hood will bring up lots of them at no more than a £ or two...

Views from PU's who have upgraded from K5 to K5IIS - Please :)
I could see the advantages straight away when I reviewed the cameras. Some months on I can offer a bit of lateral thinking. The Ricoh GR shares much of the spec of the K-5 IIs, especially the sensor and lack of AA filter. It also shares much of the characteristics. After using the GR for a whi...

K30 really 'entry level'?
By that definition, is the K30 'entry level'? Compare to the K-x... With technology advancing now so quickly and the incorporation of very high spec features into more and more bodies It does seem to be only Pentax who incorporate traditional enthusiast 'hardware' features into their ch...

Pentax Open Day - 9th October 2013
According to one Japanese contact it will be the same APS sized 16.3Mb sensor, the same as on all recent Pentax DSLR and one mirrorless, (why fix what's not broken?), it will have no AA filter, but it will have one in software should you get Moire in an image, it will be USB3, it will have a headpho...

What will the new Pentax really offer us?
The current top of the range DSLR's from Pentax have "evolved" from a very good core design (the K7), improving in the key areas that many of us wanted (great sensor, better DR, class-leading low-light AF, removal of AA filter, etc.) but from the rumoured specs of the upcoming "K3" (maybe) what woul...

What will the new Pentax really offer us?
The adjustable "AA filter" system is getting a lot of attention. That one appears to be truly revolutionary and certainly hasn't happened overnight. The results will be very interesting so I'm looking forward to seeing how this works out in practice.

What will the new Pentax really offer us?
Don't know when this discussion got split over two threads, but sites dedicated to other brands are running stories about the new AA system: http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/smart-new-k-3-uses-ibis-to-create-aa-filter/ This could be a good way of attracting people to Pentax: with body/sensor per...

What will the new Pentax really offer us?
We don't yet have a clear assessment process for deciding on Moire reduction do we? Yes we do, it's called looking at the image. We can see if there are likely to be problem areas and in reality there won't be many. But that caveat again, let's see how it works at 24MP. I was looking at it only fro...
