Smeared greens/yellows from K3
The aircraft window is not only part of the optical system, but also smeared, abraded and maybe or maybe not clean. It's not an optically perfect view and it's a bit like using a filter of unknown properties and quality on the front of the lens. We know that some lenses don't like filters very mu...

Smeared greens/yellows from K3
I've added the post I put to David Storm's query on my thread in the Classifieds here as it's probably a more appropriate place for it than the Classifieds section.... David, I'm still trying to get my head round some of it, and will post more detail when I have. I think I'm dealing with effect...

Smeared greens/yellows from K3
Well as Steve has chipped in claiming no knowledge so will I :) I just wondered if this could be a different issue to do with cabin pressure causing issues with the 24mp sensor that it doesn't in the 16MP sensor of the K5 or GR? Have you tried the simulated AA filter switched on? It might have...

Smeared greens/yellows from K3
Have you tried the simulated AA filter switched on? It might have a positive impact you weren't expecting. Kind regards Pete A That's a good idea, I'll try it out.

Pentax K-3 versus Pentax K-5 IIs
Steve's right, either model will give you a significant improvement. The K3 is newer and gives a higher MP count and the option to turn on the AA filter (if you require), plus the price differential is becoming less - when I was deciding the K3 was significantly dearer (nearly double), although I do...

Pentax K-3 versus Pentax K-5 IIs
Here is my two pence worth. Both the K5ll and the K3 are great cameras. The ISO debate depends on what and how you shoot and any minor noise issues can be cleaned up in post. The K3s tracking is far better than the K5ll. However you have to set this up specifically to different situations and ...

How tough is the K5
I can't top that, but I can say that the old Spotmatic is pretty tough. I accidentally dropped my wife's Spotmatic onto a stone pavement (the shoulder-strap broke while I was carrying it). Flattened the lens hood, cracked the yellow filter, but it was still working fine 30+ years later, when we last...

Upgrade from K30 to K5iiS
The K-5IIs will give you significantly more dynamic range than the K30 does. If you shoot landscape, or a lot of images that have high dynamic range then yes, it will bring benefits. Also, as you probably know, the K-5IIs doesn't have any anti aliasing filter, so will produce images with a little ...

Upgrade from K30 to K5iiS
This conversation closely resembles one on recently. The 'problem' here is that K-30 is actually very technically capable, and shares much in common with the more expensive models. There are clear differences between them, but the 'guts' are very similar. The K-30 has less external dials, but...

Upgrade from K30 to K5iiS
I don't know what lenses you own but one option to "improve" or introduce more variety into your images, might be to spend the money on a "better" lens, or one which encompasses a wider, or longer, range of focal lengths. If you only, or even mainly, view images on a computer, then you may not se...

New Pentax K-S1
Video has gone :shock: I saw the video, it seems the handgrip leds show how many faces the face recognition caught and also self timer countdown. wi-fi via flu card.. and red/green led at shutter shows video or stills mode . shares the AA filter effect via SR as the k3. it seems like a really ...

New Pentax K-S1
From Dpreview " Final Thoughts While the somewhat bizarre LEDs on the K-S1's front grip will likely garner the most attention, under the hood it seems like a quite capable DSLR. On the spec side, you get a 20MP APS-C CMOS sensor, a selectable AA filter, built-in image stabilization, and a max...

New Pentax K-S1
I agree, it seems they can't win :roll: I'm of two minds with statements like this. Consumers need to keep it real with their assessments of products, but they are also entitled to a view. I'm only a supporter of brand loyalty where both parties are getting something from the deal, otherwise it's ...

pentax k3
Pentax Ricoh need to do three things as regards the K3 Two of which are actually relevant to the conversation here!:) 1: Make sure that the supposedly coming 100ish to 300 and a lot-ish, and the 70-200, and indeed any lens after that has a motor in it and is able to focus quickly, IE, shorten the ...

Upgrade path
My K5 has done about 15,000 actuations and I still love it. I'm spending spare money on lenses for now. 300 DA * F4 for example. My son has the new K3 (upgraded everything) and a good friend has the in between K5 IIS (better LCD and moire filter removed but same controls). The newer models will ...

Full Frame So They Say
The k5 is still staggeringly capable in low light. One of the things it retains (in my recent tests) is colour saturation. The images soften at 6400, but are still very pleasant. I find that the lack of AA filter is a bonus with noise because you don't have to sharpen as much, so the noise isn't enh...

Tried a K-S1 today...
K50 is two years old, I fully expect it to be upgraded! If they bung the new sensor in it I'll no doubt try one, I reckon it would be enough camera for most? Agreed, quite exciting to think the K30/50 replacement could have a 24MP sensor minus the AA filter, with all the benefits such as a weathe...

Not sure it'll have the 24Mp one Richard, I'd say the 20Mp one out of the K-S1 is more likely but you never know? Gives a bit more differentiation between the models, I think we got a bit spoiled with the K30/50/500/5/5II,all with 16's. Now they're putting the anti aliasing simulator in Mid range (B...

Agreed, quite exciting to think the K30/50 replacement could have a 24MP sensor Is a 16MP now not enough? Are we just being fed upgrades to sustain the business?? I wouldn't say no to some extra cropping ability, but mostly I was interested in the lack of AA filter now being offered almost stand...
