ND Fader or Filter Kit?
For a number of years I used grad ND filters from a UK company called Kood, 85mm format, soft and hard edged. They are priced similarly to the Cokin range, and fit their holders. As far as I can determine there is no visible colour cast. I recently changed to a 100mm system (more flexible for ...

Aww the K-5 ii.....
The sensor in the K-5 and K-5 II is better than the one in the K-3 in all aspects except resolution. I have the Fujifilm version in my X-M1 and it produces noticeably better IQ in low light than both my K-3 and the X-T20, which has the Fujifilm version of the K-3 sensor. By Fujifilm version I mean...

Update on new APS-C apparently
They now claim to have a reveal slated for some time in September 2020. Somewhat official i suppose. On a personal note i am not expecting a whole lot for the new Pentax aps-c camera. The last few news bits officially from Ricoh were more or less about aesthetics. 105% ovf coverage due to better ...

Pentax 645Z still rated one of the best
I think DXO still doesn't analyse Fujifilm cameras that have their unique colour layout of pixels on the sensor, so bear in mind that all of their medium format cameras won't be represented on the list. I imagine that if they were, they'd be rated very highly too. I think most of them use the same...

Pentax K-3 Mark 1 vs Pentax KP ergonomics
Hi folks, I have a K5 which has served me well over the 10 years I've had it, but is starting to get a bit, well, er used I suppose - lens change button has popped off for example. So off and on I find myself thinking about a replacement rather than spend for repair. I have a mix of DA, DA*len...

Pentax K-3 Mark 1 vs Pentax KP ergonomics
I've got a K-3. I've only had a play with a K-P in a shop when it first appeared, but I much preferred the handling/ergonomics of the K-3, but that could've just been familiarity I guess. My Fuji X100 has a built-in ND filter... :)

Pentax K-3 Mark 1 vs Pentax KP ergonomics
A (happy) K5 user here with no experience of the K3, but just to add that your most wished for camera feature has been invented: I have a Canon G5 with a built-in ND filter. Very handy when out and about in bright sunlight and you've forgotten to take a filter with you .... A thought regarding a ...

Pentax K-3 Mark 1 vs Pentax KP ergonomics
I use a KP now for the majority of shots and I think it is an excellent camera - you can read about its potential and performance in many on-line user-reviews. Whether its ergonomics suit you is a matter of personal choice so, if you can, you should try handling one for a while, before making a d...

Pentax K-3 Mark 1 vs Pentax KP ergonomics
Most wished for camera feature not invented yet - in camera ND filter ! Thanks Not sure about the K3 or KP, but with K3ii and K1, you can simulate built in ND filter with the composite shooting function set to 'Average'...

Just to add......the Pentax Q has a built in ND filter :)

Pentax K-3 Mark 1 vs Pentax KP ergonomics
Just to add......the Pentax Q has a built in ND filter :) To be precise, it's only in the non-'toy' Q lenses, not the camera itself. So it's not really an in-camera ND filter. :wink: Steve

Pentax K-3 Mark 1 vs Pentax KP ergonomics
Having a built in ND filer might not be much help. Just ask your self what strength should it be? Everyone will have a different answer! True, but it might sometimes be ideal, or at least something I can work with. That'll never be the case with the built-in ND filter on my K-3... :)

K3 vs K3 ii
I think the Mk2 had Pixel shift as well? Correct, pixel shift as well as a lack of AA filter

K3 vs K3 ii
Neither the K3 nor K3ii has an anti-aliasing (AA) filter. That filter seems to be a thing of the past for modern cameras. The K3 does not have pixel-shift, the K3ii does have it. It featured big in the initial marketing of the K3ii. Who actually uses it now, though?? Steve

The Pentax K-7 Designers' Story (article, 2009)
On May 20, 2009, Pentax announced the K-7 (available from July 2009) as a replacement for the K20D. It introduced an updated version of the Samsung CMOS sensor, but with an entirely new compact design. Notable new features included full metal body construction, a pentaprism viewfinder covering 100% ...

KP vs K1 Image Quality
The Pentax-F 28-105 is an awful lens so I doubt if the done up version is any better. The F 35-105, on the other hand, is an absolutely wonderful beast, although they often have damaged plastic filter rings (take the glass out of an appropriate old filter and screw the metal ring in to strengthen it...
