Fullscreen F11 in my Firefox menu..... but I use a small
Cherry keyboard that only goes up to F10

The workaround is [Fn Key] + F1

First two for me... the staircase looks really impressive.

It actually states on the Pentax K5-II site......

SAFOX X can work with luminous flux based on F2.8 levels in addition to that of F5.6.
This increase the AF
accuracy drastically when using with very fast lenses.

Strange that no one seems to have tested this accuracy with a lens of less than f/2.8 ...... say FA 50mm f/1.4 .... It's the 1st thing I would have tried if I had a Mk, II
The K-5 AF doesn't impress me it's probably within the DOF, but no better.

It's possible that the early one's didn't include the pouch.
The green wart only appeared later as well. Most of the
magazine tests were done using the early model when it
trounced the CZ 50mm Strange that people now
think the CZ is worth big money

Is this the model prior to the one with the green wart
on the side and was it supplied without a leather case?

Seems a lot of work..... several shots at each ADJ
value It's cheap though at £20.

I wish I knew the algorithmn they are using. It could be
largest file size, but unlikely and it isn't that
accurate.

There is a fully auto program (UK made) for Canon, been
out some time. link The software is able to control the camera

Maybe they have bought a cheapo Chinese "Junior Plumbers Outfit"
and it says on the box "Suitable for 8-12 %$&*^? "

i.e. "8-12 years old" written in Chinese and your not
very bright neighbours think it means "Time"

If the K-5II does contain f/2.8 high-precision AF points
it should have been picked up by the reviews It is
after all a major improvement.... maybe the trap in focus
will work more accurately now I've not read them
so I don't know.

My 96 year old Aunt has been asking Pentax for this for years!
She will be pleased

I'm quite sure Gareth hasn't got a Sigma 50mm f1.4 prime....
he did have a 50mm FA 1.4? In fact I've never heard of anyone
owning a Sigma 50mm f1.4

I could understand someone using just a 35mm lens on a wedding but
you couldn't do group shots with a 50mm unless your in the middle
of an open field and can move right back and what if it rains?
