K10D for IR?

@ petrochemist are there advantages in using a mirrorless camera for conversion? Yes, several. With a filter fitted to the lens the viewfinder still shows the scene - my camera is full spectrum converted, so I usually have a filter fitted many of which you can't see through. ... I've seen refer...

K10D for IR?

I've seen reference to the different types of conversion, so are your filters used to bring the full spectrum conversion into one of the other ranges? Exactly, with the exception of any UV influence, I can do any of the standard conversion types. UV might be relevant for the 'superblue' conversion, ...

Pentax K3iii what & when?

Hi all, I'm not disappointed with my K3 and find 24 mp brilliant for cropping wildlife even with my 300mm F4 and tele adapter. After all a quarter of a frame is still 6 mp, good enough for printing. On the low light issue I find it different to compare given the resolution is 50% more than my old K5...

K1 in crop mode. How is it for you?

I did some comparisons K1 in crop mode with my K5II. Very little difference (unsurprising I suppose because the pixel density is very similar). If anything the K1 was very slightly better, maybe because of the lack of AA filter.

K1 in crop mode. How is it for you?

Well there's no AA filter, so not quite the same as a K5ii and the dynamic range is slightly higher on a K-1, but only marginally so there are differences. Why not compare the images at http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/pentax-k1/pentax-k1-image-quality.htm and http://www.imaging-resource.com/P...

K70 Review

I was glad to see a good review, though they continue to focus on camera aspects which are less important (focus tracking, number of focus points, weight, lack of mega-expensive lenses, video) and ignore or down-play more important aspects such as build quality, interface, controls, SR, availability...

A discreet, understated accessory.....

...this is NOT. Circular filters are 145mm, rectangular filters are 6.6inX8.5in. Dave Filter system for UWA lenses. Sorry about the image quality.

A discreet, understated accessory.....

Whoa! That's some substantial kit Dave. I'd love the k1. Bit then I'd have to get the 15-30 :D. And then I'd need to get a filter rig like this :D:shock:. So one day, but not now. Be great to see some images with this setup.

A discreet, understated accessory.....

I can see now it is different to the Lee Filters, and the round filters are probably more manageable than the square type. I see that Pentax is introducing an ultra-wide angle prime lens in 2017 which, if it is around 20mm, might take a smaller filter rig and will definitely be in my wish list.

Shots with the new Pentax 55-300mm PLM lems.

Already they look much better than those taken with the older Tamron 70-300. Better focus and no purple fringing. I can only assume that the new focussing technology in that lens is making a difference, so it looks like it was a good choice. I still rate the Tamron AF70-300 Di LD highly, but not ...

K3 v KP

Why do we think a magnesium alloy body is mid-range? This is a fundamental feature of the flagship line, and I've lifted this set of features from the wex description: New flagship APS-C model aimed at advanced-enthusiasts 24.3MP APS-C-size CMOS sensor New generation CMOS sensor and high-perfor...

TCSTV Review of the KP

I think John has hit the nail on the head here regarding price rises. Aren't Canon, Nikon, Olympus and Fuji products manufactured overseas? The Sterling depreciation will hit all equally so relative value should remain the same when comparing Brands. That makes it simpler for us! All we need to ...

First DSLR, K5, shutter count...

I have had a lot of experienced buying cameras and in the early days bought a number of them used. After the writing was on the wall in regard to Olympus abandoning the DSLR I decided to have a second system available to me and tested the water with a used Pentax K-20D. I can't recall the shutter ...

K10D newbie question on storage cards.

I would go for class 10 and I wouldn't bother going bigger than 8g, 4 g if you can get them! The file sizes on the k10 are not that big and you'll probably find a couple of these will be plenty for now. If you have too big a card it tempts you to not download your pictures often to a safer medium, ...

Where to now? Upgrading my K5

The K3II is a likely good fit for you. All the bells and whistles, plus physical controls like the K5, but with higher resolution and pixelshift, AA filter simulator and more! I think there's a 'Flu-card' for remote viewing with the K3II. The newer KP could do the job very well as well, plus...

KP review in Outdoor Photography

I have a K-S1 too. Tiny buffer. Plastic, no weather sealing, battery door will snap off eventually etc Lightweight in a bad way. Stunning IQ. Actually cool LED light in the grip which countdown for group shots. 20MP, no AA filter. Lightweight in a good way.
