There are at least 2 supplementary PDF's for the K-1 on the firmware download page. Be sure to get them

I'm impressed with a lot of shots I've seen from the recent APS-C cameras. K-70 and K-P they seem to be a step up from previous models.

Example on Depressing Review.... K-70 + 55-300mm DA HD much clearer feathers than a K-5 would do. Click on original size.

I've always liked Tiffen Haze-1 Filters. They do cut through haze and increase contrast at the edges which are normally soft.

Used to be expensive, but now available cheap on Amazon uk

All sizes seem available select from the drop down box. This is a Tiffen 52mm Haze-1 Filter

More reviews on the US Amazon....

There was also Eric Fishwick's in Haydock. Brilliant shop and their mail order motto was "Dispatched By Return Always" as long as they had it in stock which they always did.

Here's a comparison between a K5ii and K5iiS

https://www.neocamera.com/article/moire_pentax_k5ii_k5iis/gallery

The 2nd set of photos (down from top) show the K5ii to be better

There's something wrong with either a lens or a camera The 1st set with the scaffolding shows very poor/soft results on the RHS of the shot taken with the K5iiS.

I can't see any advantage in having a K5iiS plus you will get more moire in certain situations.

The effect of a well designed AA filter on an image captured with a Bayer array sensor is not the same as a Gaussian blur. It just happens to be cheaper not to have the filter and rely on the sensor outresolving the lens instead.

Read the article! .... It is not about taking or removing moire! .... The title alone says what it's about.... "The Problem of Resizing Images "

It's pointless having sharp originals if they are to be reduced in size. The better software will blur it first using Gaussian Blur and then reduce the size.
