Sample K5IIs images

As promised, here are some sample PEF files, XMP files for LR4.3 and JPG output files.

The shots are nothing special. Just some test shots around the office.

I've used almost identical settings for the JPG outputs as I did on the K5 mark 1. A touch of sharpening, and zero or almost zero noise reduction.

The first shot on there IMGP1660 was taken with the DA*50-135, through a window, and it was that shot that made me "Wow" over the mark 2. I had taken a shot at ISO800 with the same lens and similar setup (but not through a window!) that I was very pleased with the resolution and detail - and I still had the image on the SD card to view on the IIs to compare. The texture and fine detail of IMGP1660 was amazing - especially considering it's ISO3200!

I've also added a couple of graveyard test shots taken at f/1.4 on the FA50/1.4. Hugely pleased with accuracy of focus!

Anyway, as I've said - I'm a happy user.
Feel free to download away and have a compare and play!

(I may add some more too...)

Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.

Yes, the DA*16-50 does produce CA & PF, especially at corners (and did this on the mk1 too) - and with strong side lighting as in these shots.

No big deal - I just forgot to apply correction in LR.
That series of three images was there to demonstrate diffraction effects which appear less severe than the K5II. Normally I wouldn't shoot smaller than f/11. You can compare f/4, f/8, and f/20!

Now udpated
