The fact that Pentax sold twice as many Q's (No: 8 ) in Japan
last year (2012) as Olympus sold OM-D EM-5's (No: 12) shows
what nonsense this poll is.

The K-30 (13th DSLR's) and K-5 (14th DSLR's) both
individually sold more than the other
two (15th & 20th)

That's true Andrew.... I am amazed that Imaging Resource
have taken loads of test shots with what looks to be an
out of focus camera Possibly it could be a faulty
lens/camera?

That's the grip for the K-5II which is a more expensive camera

On the D800_E_master.tif

Right side shot is sharper

K-5II_s_master.tif

Left shot is back focussed by at least half of the bottle.
So no valid comparison possible

Pentax lenses don't focus properly under tungsten and
the lights usually get too hot for gels and they cost
about £6 each. It's also hot for the model.

Flash is a better bet, check the exposure regularly
with a cordless flash meter.

The Pentax one isn't the same and the IQ seems poor.

It's a good job that some of the cameras aren't made
in Japan and others made in Vietnam

For more detail in landscapes I would actually put
a Filter ON (Tiffen Haze-1)

I wonder if Pentax are clearing out their stocks of K-5 components readying themselves for the next body, it has to happen soon.
You mean the new K-5IIS-XR3i-Turbo-Nutter-Bastard
