K3ii vs OMD-EM1 vs Foveon
Not sure if my thread on a replacement for the Bayer filter is relevant here but again just in case :D.

K3ii vs OMD-EM1 vs Foveon
Not sure if my thread on a replacement for the Bayer filter is relevant here but again just in case :D. Very interesting (I'd missed the original thread, Gwyn). As might be expected, the paper itself carries some caveats that are not prominent in the journalist's summary; but even so, the possibi...

I just found out.
That's exactly why I use a plastic lens cap - it's a 51mm push fit (goes over the outside of a standard 49mm filter ring). The metal push fits off Takumars are just as good but they could scratch the monitor surface. ......... I like the mirror-up suggestion

I just found out.
Okay, I decided to do a couple of tests. I think the results may persaude more people to cover the viewfinder. Of course, when you shoot hand-held you normally cover the viewfinder with your eye and the exposure time is short anyway. When I'm shooting on a tripod I always try to remember to at ...

Used camera prices.
Hi, I think usage is a factor as all are fine cameras. My K5 when I traded it in to SRS required a superglue tidy up of grip rubbers coming away, has one or two control levers starting to feel loose and paint rubbed off mag alloy around corners. 15,000 exposures over three years. Functioned fine th...

K5IIs versus K5
just wondering - did anybody upgrade from K5 to K5IIs? How do you find it? Would there be noticeable increase of details due to missing antialiasing filter? I found some quite mixed info on web and can't make my mind. I do like K5, especially its dynamic range is great for landscapes. I like shooti...

K5IIs versus K5
I still have my K5 as a back up, or the wife uses it, I suppose I noticed about a 5% increase in detail re the lack of antialiasing filter, for me thou, the low light focus and IQ is better. I also think the autofocus is marginally quicker as well, whilst of no use on landscapes

K5IIs versus K5
When I was looking into it, though in the end I bought a K-3, the most important difference between the K-5 and K-5II was that the mark II fixed the focusing problems in certain light that a lot of people complained about. I don't think the removal of the AA filter is such a big thing. My photos...

K5IIs versus K5
I recall interminable discussion on this subject. I upgraded recently from the K5 to the K5IIs as my K5 is very well used so I wanted an insurance policy and K5IIs don't come up that often. Is the K5IIs better? Imo, yes. Is there a noticable difference in resolution without the AA filter? I...

K5IIs versus K5
Someone may have pointed that out, but unlikely they were able to prove it or demonstrate it. Of course there's a technical difference between the two outputs., without the slight blurring from the AA filter, but really, it's what happens after the image is captured, during each individuals uniq...

K5IIs versus K5
The fact is, the AA filter was applied to create blur which would prevent the fabled moire (that's the moire that so rarely appears it's not worth bothering to prevent) that post process sharpening was then needed to correct. I have a K-5iis and had a loan K-5 from SRS (my K-3 needed repairing) and...

K5IIs versus K5
Agreed, and the debate about whether an AA filter is now required is a different one again. It seems that the latest and highest resolution sensors reduce the occurrence of moire in many situations. The old question and debate was about a very direct choice we were given with two camera versions...

K5IIs versus K5
Anyone who tries to claim a K-5iis is not inherently sharper than a K-5 needs their head examining. It has no AA filter. AA filters create blur, there can be no disputing this. End of story. Cheers David :D

K5IIs versus K5
Since the K-5 IIs many camera makers have also taken this on board and today the lack of the AA filter is quite normal. It does have benefits, but the essence of sharpness and resolution needs to be understood. For example, a Panatomic-X negative film (ISO 32) will show the same detail as a Tri-X...

K5IIs versus K5
I have to smile at the reigniting of this ancient controversy. It's perhaps the photographic equivalent of asking how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. There will be no consensus, no 'right' or 'wrong', unless the question is drawn so narrowly as to be scarcely worth the asking. The per...

K5IIs versus K5
You're right to phrase it as a ' starting point', and noting David Storms post above where he said 'end of story' ... Well I'd say no, the sensor/AA filter configurations are just the START of the story.... That is why I have constantly approached this from a workflow and processing viewpoint, an...

I would say you're looking at it exactly the same as me Kris, which is to put it into a wider context. Taken in isolation, the presence or not of the AA filter on a modern DSLR is going to be of far less significance than many other factors.
