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...

I said I would leave this thread, but I have a question :roll: Everything you have said suggests you DO in fact need to do something, whether in camera or later to get the two outputs more or less the same. So how does that make them equal? Surely that proves that the filter-less system is inhere...

Glad to have enticed you back :) When I say equal or equalised I am talking about visible differences to the two images, side by side at high magnification. My testing showed such 'equalisation' at certain stages in the processing chains (as I've detailed a bit above). I also mean that the images ac...

I think we're saying the same things :?::!::? It is exactly for the reason (as you say) that 'inherant sharpness' is not the same as PP sharpening, that we can only assess the effectiveness of each image, or indeed our own need for the filter or not, by running the images through a processing chain ...

Is the AA filter an element that can be removed from any recent Pentax camera? ie can one (if so motivated) opt to create a K5s, or K-30s model by removing said filter component? Or is it a treatment/baked or fused onto another required component? Just wondering, no reason...

[quote:3496ace15f="kh1234567890"]the same scene with the same lens and the same postprocessing /quote] You can't really use the same post processing for both and expect to see comparative results most would be hoping for. I see that request a lot, "I applied the exact same settings to each" etc....

Just as a matter of interest, has anyone got any thoughts on the K-01 in the sharpness / detail department? I have always suspected that this model has a very weak AA filter as it produces sharper images than my K-5mk1 ever did and seems to come quite close to the K-5iis. Also, I've seen it produc...

What I actually meant is whether anyone had seen any difference in normal, everyday shots such as handheld outdoor snaps taken with the kit zoom lens, focused using the camera AF etc. rather than the contrived carefully set up dpreview still life test scenes ? Yes. It gives images a slightly dif...

Personally this reinforces the now relatively small incremental improvements happening in the sensor technology these days. If you you'll see we've not really progressed much in the last 4 years or so on this single particular aspect. (To be clear, I'm NOT saying the cameras have not progressed a...

This thread is less a thread than a cat's cradle. It started with an innocent question, though I'm still a little surprised that the OP didn't hear the snorting of the bull as he dropped his red rag. The differences under discussion are small -- not necessarily unimportant, but not fundamental eithe...

K5 Firmware
I don't have any of the new kit to which the Pentax site refers, I was just wondering if there was anything buried in there that would improve the general performance of my K5........ Roger. If it ain't broke , don't fix it :) Was out with mine today, set the Custom, Option 28, "Degrease lens" t...

K5 Firmware
Was out with mine today, set the Custom, Option 28, "Degrease lens" to "1" for on and the difference was miraculous, almost as if I had upgraded to the MkII and removed the AA filter.[/quote] Precisely the sort of upgrade I was looking for...:shock:......! :D :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D...

Jpeg from camera, All in Camera post processed, Hipster processed from RAW with different exposure, shadow correction and other tweaks, then digital filter applied to make it look like I'm 25 years younger and I know WTF instagram is (needs a touch of vignette) I think I'll just use my p...
