K20d or k7 any advice
we all know the K7 is Nigel's love child:D but the K5 series did give improvements over it with the K5 11s probably being the peak of that series as by then you had improved ISO performance which is not just about being in the dark but just being indoors where sometimes you need to up it without cre...

b&h take on K-3ii
Based upon an earlier posting submission (this thread) about what kinds of equipment it takes to photograph a certain subject... It al depends upon: the photographer, their abilities (or lack thereof), camera body, lens selection and availability, and budget. Someone had earlier posted that all o...

k-50 or k-s1
When the K-S1 came out I didn't see a lot of difference between the two. You get a higher res sensor and no AA filter, which is pretty cool. The body looks different and has a weird control layout that didn't sell. Price wise it should be on clearance now so it's quite a bargain really. The K-...

k-50 or k-s1
It's a cheap camera! And an extraordinary quality sensor, AA filter-less, for the money. At the latest price points all else can be forgiven :wink:

Automatic macro extension tubes
If you want a good set of "tubes" that transmit data and action to an 'A' lens, get a Pentax 'A', f 1.7 50mm from that highly disparaged EBay place (dunno why people curse it so). Take all the glass out of it by carefully unscrewing each element. Get a reverse 49mm adapter (also from the never to be...

Digiscoping
I have resolved my problem with the vulnerability of the open camera body when fitted with the digiscope adaptor, by I modestly claim, a stroke of genius! The K-mount/T2 adaptor which you need to fix the digiscope adaptor onto the camera body can be dismantled into two parts, so into this I dropped ...

Horizon correction - what are the downsides?
Okay, I'm reporting back my experience from last night attempting some straight-out-of-the-camera shots. Horizon Correction - forget it. On my K5-IIs it usually seems pretty accurate for single shots but varies a bit between shots and is all over the place when it comes to bracketed (e.g. HDR) a...

K7 - K5 - worthwhile upgrade???
If the Budget will stretch I would go for the K5 lls, same sensor as the K5 so the same high ISO performance, but the removal of the aliasing filter brings so much more detail.

K7 - K5 - worthwhile upgrade???
:D Joking aside, it's well known that I value the superb image capture control aids, handling, strength etc that the K7 shares with its successors, just as much as the sensor performance. I'm still getting so much out of my K7 and am very satisfied with its results, so the advice to look at better...

If the Budget will stretch I would go for the K5 lls, same sensor as the K5 so the same high ISO performance, but the removal of the aliasing filter brings so much more detail. I'd second that view :!: I upgraded rom the K5 to the K5iis and it improved what was already a superb camera into an alm...

K7 - K5 - worthwhile upgrade???
I've just bagged a new AF-540FGZ WRII bargain from SRS :) That's the upgrade funds used for now .... Really though, for my personal 'low-light' photography needs, that 2nd wirelessly controlled flashgun will offer far more image quality improvement than any new cameras higher sensor capability !

K7 - K5 - worthwhile upgrade???
Regarding the aa-filter issue and processing. It mis-represents the realities to equate processing time and effort to the outcomes ... For many people the processing steps will be identical in order to get equal results ... Just a small (approx 30% on average higher sharpening settings, with no vis...

K3 II jpg settings
Only two sharpness controls with the K-01 and K-50. Normal and Fine. No fine2. I'd question why they are even necessary on the K-3 which has no AA filter.

Dust on sensor
I don't think 'dust' is a sensor defect or can render a sensor 'beyond repair'.. Dust bunnies reveal themselves at high f numbers (small aperture) they are more noticeable where there is less detail in the scene to hide them, but they can still show up. I don't think any sensor is unprotected by ...

Dust on sensor
It's worth mentioning that no fluids should be used on the sensor assembly, except to slightly dampen whatever is used as a cleaning device. A friend of mine has ruined his sensor by using liquid on it, which got behind the filter and caused blotches as it dried. Cost of repair was enormous. It wasn...

A Ks1 in blue is available for around £205..... I am tempted..... Uh oh.....
I've got the D-S1 with the DA f2,4/35mm AL from the German retailer (AFA Fotohandel) mentioned at the start of this. When K-S1 came out I dismissed it only on silly looking design. In black it's actually quite elegant in reality, some LEDs even have their purpose beyond the gimmickry. In hands it...

Firmware updates fix known glitches or bugs and make the cameras compatible with newer hardware components. Pentax maybe makes fewer firmware updates because there is less new hardware coming out compared to Canon/Nikon. Firmware updates don't bring any new features, they just make the camera work w...

Anyone for a K-1? !!
Using a "time" filter, in the search engine, fixes that. Brian

K3ii vs OMD-EM1 vs Foveon
I tried to comment on this last night on my phone, the page kept throwing an error. I suspect the pixel shift will be used as much as the simulated AA filter option. In my opinion they are nice to haves, but I doubt they'll get much use by most users. They seem ideal for macro/static product wo...
