I've noticed over on the other forum that the K-5IIs is said to show less/no PF when compared with the K-5II.

Anyone with a K-5IIs care to comment?

I would imagine it's down to the individual lens to determine the mount of PF, just like the amount of CA

I would expect to agree with you, but it appears that the lens, scene and lighting are common, so the only change is the body, the suggestion being that the AA filter seems involved in the production of PF.

Returning to the thread in question, (link), a few more views have been posted, suggesting there's a little more to the IIs than first thought, in addition to this alleged reduction in PF, i.e. that it's SR is good for an additional stop, although it's not clear whether this is against the K-5 'Classic' or II.
