The Best DSLR for Everyone
Without wanting to make any assumptions about individuals, I have been pondering what aspects of a camera may be more likely to appeal to different photographers. It can't all just come down to price alone - manufacturers must surely consider different types of user in desiging their range and decid...

The Best DSLR for Everyone
Not extravagent for him personally - but thats different to it being ideal, assuming the aim is to quicky be able to take great shots and get plenty of enjoyment out of doing that. Maybe our assistant was too quick to make assumptions about our mans capacity - or maybe his capacity is not releve...

K3 does not recognise focal lengths below 10mm
I am extremely disappointed and extremely p*$$"d off that Pentax/Ricoh haven't addressed this problem yet, which was also a problem on the K5. It's ridiculous that they have come out with a new camera that won't recognise the focal length on lenses that were manufactured long before they came out wi...

K3 First Impression :-)
The only slight downside I've found with the K3 is that the RAW files seem slightly less tolerant to extreme processing than the K5's, introducing a bit more noise than I got with the K5. However, the increase in resolution is worth it, even though that was not really in my considerations when I bou...

Pentax FF: Less MP more Image Quality ?
Pentax have left FF too late, they have limited FF lens options available, the only real market for one would be current Pentax users and many of us have too many DA lenses to make the change now anyway. That said, I don't see the future being FF anyway. Sensor manufacturers will always prefer la...

Lens hood and polarizing filters
I use polarising on my DA* 16-50, 50-135 & 300 lenses (and others). These have the cut-out and I seem to cope fine with them. I will always set the filter to the approximate position and then tweak using the opening. What alternative way is there?

I've just bought a K-5IIs :) hehe - after the long drawn out "discussions" regarding the (really tiny IMO )differences between AA fitler or no AA filter I never thought I would. However I always did say I could do with better low light AF that the K-5 offers, and with that in mind I've been l...

I've just bought a K-5IIs
Well, I must say I am using my k5IIs more than my k3 and there are some differences that I can see but don't quite understand yet; when I can put my finger on it I'll share a comment; the area of " raised eye brows" which is the best way to put it relates to colour rendition on the K3 which as of y...

I've just bought a K-5IIs
Actually, there is a logic to it, so it doesn't have to be such a shock - the price issue was always going to become less significant over time, and if you're not overly concerned about subjects that might show moire (you said that LR could sort it if needed), then I remember from my testing that in...

I've just bought a K-5IIs
Hi Smeggy I haven't commented on much of the debate over the sharpness issue with/ without AA filter; however have followed the debate and the banter - with some amusement! Enjoy the new toy - having gone from K-7 to K-5ii, the af is so much better in low light (and needless to say the IQ is m...

I've just bought a K-5IIs
Well, congratulations on getting your K5IIs. I bought mine when they first came out, partnering a K7 after dropping off a K 20 D. I must say I can only talk in superlatives about that camera (K5IIs) which was clearly quite a step up as a usable tool to the K7 which again is a great camera. However...

Which new body?
My input would be to think more about other features of the K3 than just image quality and here are some of the points to consider: 27 focus points, 3 of them flux array 2.8. Better control of focus and more accurate. The tracking is also far better on the K3 compared to the K5ll/s. Three leve...

K5 just isn't really cutting it in low light
Just a reminder that this is Pentax User and advising on which Nikon or Canon to buy is off topic for the forums. You need a Canon or Nikon forum for that. The grass is not always greener....it depends very much on the lenses chosen, but people very successfully take images of fast cars, wildlife...

Smeared greens/yellows from K3
This may be a long shot and way of the mark. With aircraft windows being made of polycarbonate (Perspex, Lexan etc.) I'm wondering if they have some optical properties that can distort the the light waves and in effect filter some colour frequencies. I know some grades of polycarbonate have chemi...
