Upgrading from a K-r
As I said, not everyone shares my views ! :D Steve, I take it then that you would regard the revolutionary new 'aa filter simulator', bought to us for the very first time by Ricoh & Pentax, as a waste of money? :wink: Certainly not, in the earlier post it mentions the one occasion that it would have...

Upgrading from a K-r
I agree with Steve. I've just sold my K-5 Mk1, not because it is a bad camera (quite the contrary, it is capable of taking superb images), but mainly because it was variable at focussing with my most used lens (DA 17-70) and also because after using a camera without the AA filter (K-5iis) I simply ...

Upgrading from a K-r
.... is the iis worth the extra money? What would people recommend? That's the original poster's question. The first point to any sensible answer must be 'not necessarily for every person'. Its a bit like Johns point about the extra pixels not automatically being an advantage. In the case of the K5...

Upgrading from a K-r
It's all relative and it depends on what output size (print/web, etc) you need. The non-AA filter cameras are crisper.

Ephotozine K-3 review
I don't see why moire is such a high priority. The moire issue has been debated to death on filterless cameras and the general conclusion is that it is a non-issue for most real world shooting. Plus the K3 has a filter to deal with it anyway. Given that AF and in particular tracking is a tradit...

Ephotozine K-3 review
Plus the K3 has a filter to deal with it anyway. Exactly, and it's a major unique feature that deserved attention. This is a first for Pentax and others will be looking at it with keen interest. The AF tracking needs a suitable subject to try it on and no doubt others will in time find such subje...

Ephotozine K-3 review
John, what was behind the decision to include shots at f22 in the review? And why test the AA filter at 1/6400 when Ricoh themselves suggest it is better at slower than 1/1000?

Ephotozine K-3 review
John, what was behind the decision to include shots at f22 in the review? And why test the AA filter at 1/6400 when Ricoh themselves suggest it is better at slower than 1/1000? The shots at f/22 were lens test shots, so that was shot at open aperture, f/8 and f/22 to show the usual rise and fall ...

Yet more K-3 v. K-5mkii questions
I think its fair that anyone can make a comment, and then of course that comment is open for discussion - thats what the forum is all about, so I'll say what I think as I would like to help, and I've taken a great interest in the matter. The K3 is clearly a great camera. Most of the debate on IQ ...

Yet more K-3 v. K-5mkii questions
I think the ability to turn the aa filter on and off, together with 27 focus points alone makes the K3 very, very attractive. The AF for moving subjects is defiantly better on the K3 than the K5ll, as I own a K5lls and a K3 and used both of them over 3 days photographing the RAC Rally, I ended up...

Noise Reduction Settings
I always shoot in RAW so I am right to assume I wouldn't need them on as I can sort any noise during PP? ---------------------------------------- Yes, in my opinion. Depends to some extent what programs you have at your disposal. I have a free version of Helicon Filter which I like because you can ...

Noise Reduction Settings
Pretty sure the nr settings have no affect on the raw files, they'rr for the in camera raw processing to make the jpg. Helicon filter sounds interesting, I will take look.

DXO K3 Scores are out
I have not made much of the K3's obvious advantages over the D7100 amongst others... like what ? Shoots Faster Not half made of space plastic (No debate it's been done to death!) HDR RAW Three-motor mechanism which allows independent control of the mirror, shutter and diaphragm (It just doesn't s...

DXO K3 Scores are out
A quote: "With a 23.35 million-pixel sensor and no anti-aliasing filter the Pentax K-3 produces fantastically detailed images, and it doesn't disappoint. The camera comes close to out resolving our lens chart, at a resolution of 38lp/pm, almost matching the Nikon D800/E , which did out-resolve our c...

Advice on SR
I also leave it on regardless of shutter speed / focal length. I have not seen any testing to suggest that the effect is limited to any particular maximum focal length (unlike the new AA Filter Simulator, which I believe is only effective up to 1/1000sec?). I recently shot loads of telephoto imag...

Moving to full frame
:wink: I'm really surprised at the objections to Full Frame amongst Pentax users. That's because Pentax don't make one yet. Just wai to see how the views will change once they do release a FF Camera. All do a sudden FF will be great. :) :) Pentax don't yet make a FF DIGITAL camera, but they mad...

Help me to decide. K-3 or stick to K-5 ?
Sea Change indicates a major step forwards of some kind, something that's more than just an incremental step. The detail is in all the reviews, but in essence the K20D to K-5 saw a step up in resolution from 14.6MP to 16.2MP, the move from Samsung to Sony sensors, a vast improvement in focusing ...

Help me to decide. K-3 or stick to K-5 ?
but I want to see K3 shots that blow away what I can do with my K5, so far I haven't seen any. I don't think you'll see many, for two reasons. One, someone would have to be quite good with their K-3 to do better than you can do with your K-5, in the styles you tend to adopt - it still comes dow...

Steve have you used the k-5 mk-ii and mk-iis side by side? The K-5 and the K-5ii have the same resolving capabilities as they both have the AA filter.
