There are infinity focus adapters with a flange to hold the
pin in. Someone on one of the MF forums used to make them.
Also one of the big accessory companies do one.

The green button metering on the K-5 is pretty good, but
you have to know about any variations that occur due to
what ever lens you use especially vignetting and transmission.
Most lenses meter OK at about f/5.6 though to f/16 and then
start to go off again. The metering also changes from it's
setting with different lens types K, FA, Da etc.
Metering between f/1.2 and f/1.8 is usually inaccurate
with any DSLR. I don't know how the Oly gets over that.

I've since looked at other images on the BBC site, it seems standard practise to watermark all the images, so possibly just their standard method.
Example: E Type Jag......

I can't see any point in this test because it's
done on an small Olympus MFT camera and not on a
Pentax APS-C. Bokeh especially will be different.

The BBC use a lot of Getty images with the Getty watermark still
visible. I wonder if they pay?

It's what is in front of the lens that matters.....
a sharp lens isn't necessary for good photography

Council policy means that the panel can't take what I've been doing into account, it all rests on the interview!!
