K10D , manual lens and macro.
The M 1:3.5 135mm works well with a Raynox clip-on macro attachment. I use the DCR-150 which gives a working distance of about 7" and is easy to work with - especially with flash, the DCR-250 will magnify more but will give a correspondingly closer working distance and be harder to use. If you'r...

Pentax 54MP FF DSLR
Random thoughts time: In the 'old days' of 35mm film, was there ever any in body image stabilisation? Just wondering, as suspending a sensor obviously ups the size all around it, as it's now wider than just the sensor on it's own. Are any brands doing in body stabilisation of a full frame sen...

Can you help moi (re) K-5IIs question
There are no problems with real world photography and the K-5iis, moire is almost a 'non-issue'. Do not worry about this being a problem for you, it won't be. I've had my K-5iis for a year now and never seen any moire, I also have a K-3 with the anti-moire simulation filter turned off and it has n...

Can you help moi (re) K-5IIs question
This thread is of particular interest to me because a couple of weeks ago I spent a few hours with the K-3 trying to achieve moire so that I could see how effective the two stages of anti-aliasing filter simulation are and what effect they have on image sharpness/detail. I tried lots of fabrics of t...

I think that's an point of note about the simulated filter feature, in that you have to turn it on at the point of capture. Thus the best you can hope for is to recognise situations where it may be an issue, and presumably take some photos with and without it turned on.

Its so new its not made it into the guidebooks yet - I can just imagine a new chapter in the 'Digital Photography for Photographers' book and its like .....

Can you help moi (re) K-5IIs question
I must say that when I had moire, I was almost always able to get rid of it with the "fake" anti-aliasing filter (except one time, where some residual moire was left). Since I've had the K3, I've learned what type of situation might cause moire, so I turn on the anti aliasing filter before the sh...

I did a test as soon as mine arrived and the difference in sharpness is amazing. Like the old K5 had grease on the lens. There are some occasions when the IIs seemed too sharp and I suspect the filter would have helped - fine sea spray in my case, but on those rare occasions, you can always soften ...

It does seem that moire is less likely with larger and the most modern sensors. Presumably thats why makers have started to offer the aa filter-less options. Also there have been reports here of other factors coming into play apart from the filter - such as focal length and aperture, distance from t...

Very useful link! All of you folk have more experience than me in PP as well as shooting. I use Aftershot Pro, PDCU occasionally, and PSP latest version for any afterthoughts. I am rarely going to print to A3- A4 more often than not- so the normal ii seems the best option, and I save about £80 ...

I'm another in the K-5II camp. I just couldn't see enough difference to justify the £150 (at that time) premium. I see it's now £80 so maybe I would be more inclined to pay but I have to say the increase in sharpness can't be attributed 100% to the lack of AA filter because my K5II is a lot bette...

Here's a section of the conclusions section of my testing ... as you can see I consider the question to be not so much about print sizes (although any image degradations caused by sharpening work will be amplified the bigger you print) but rather about the style and selective application of detailin...

... Moire? What moire? Now if I'm not mistaken these are bird feathers and no moire! I have had my 5iis for over a year now and witnessed it once! Moire occurs so rarely it is not worth bothering about. It sometimes looks like you have it, but when you zoom into the picture it's gone. Get the 5...

Moire tends to be an issue related to resizing also, as illustrated above by the comment that you think you have it (when viewing a scaled down picture) but it's not there on the full sized picture. It was much more common in the earlier days of smaller resolution photos from 6MP sensors etc, than ...

It may be that the new choices offered by the camera makers are as much about marketing as anything else. I mean, they don't want to scare off people, but need to allow the more modern technology to fly. It sounds like very few K3 users consider the aa-filter simulator to be of any use at all - a wa...

It would be easy reading a lot of this to think we were talking about completely different cameras, with different sensors. Of course we're not - its exactly the same sensor and an identical camera, with one exception - lack of aa filter in front of one sensor. This only changes one element - it ...

McGregNi, that long post was one big contradiction. I'm saying you don't need to process the images as much which has numerous benefits, especially for people who don't want to fanny around with the images. If the raw image from the sensor is sharp because it hasn't had a filter (of dubious worth...
