Well there are tests done by scientists as well and the
highly respected German magazine Colorfoto which generally
show that the Pentax SR isn't at the top of the list.
It's also possible that at the speeds Steve would have been
using it wasn't actually doing anything.

"Olympus shows that this isn't a principle limitation of sensor-shift by delivering best stabilization for longer focal lengths (as far as I am aware of tests). So, there is hope that a future installment of the Pentax SR system is more useful for long focal lengths."

Perhaps further tests by Steve will answer the question.Quote:
It was poor in the K-5
I don't know where that comes from. There's a clear 3 stop or more advanatge with SR in the K-5, maybe more. I have taken some shots with incredibly slow speeds where necessary, with really sharp results.It was poor in the K-5

It's already been posted several times on here. The K-5
wasn't even as good as the K-01 in these tests..

"the K-01 is actually an improvement. In equivalent tests, the K-5 worsened images by 7%."

Pointless posting then

The SR was improved in the K30 so possibly it has been in the
K5 II as well. It was poor in the K-5
K5 II as well. It was poor in the K-5

It looks like Pentax had a badged version of this tripod as
well see circa page 195 of the K-5 manual for a picure of
one with a flashgun mounted on it.
I use mostly Novoflex ones now, but have a few of the
Polaroids that I used to use for flash as well as camera
supports. They fold flat like a gun Mostly metal
apart from the knobs and camera connection which are
plastic.
If you want one for about £25 let me know.
This is the tripod...

Looks like a copy of the Polaroid Tripod that came out in
the mid-seventies.
Photographers have struggled along without them ever since
That was a hell of a messy setup he had. An Eye-Fi and
laptop is much easier

I've not been there recently, but the tunnels in a glass
museum in St. Helens would fill up to about 6 ft deep in
water if the de-watering was switched off. It used to be
programmed to run on cheap electric during the night....
fingers crossed I suppose during the day

tagged with SR. I think there were four.
Regardless of which site I look at I can't see any saying
that the K-5 is anywhere near the top of the list with
regard to SR or AF speed. I hope they have both been
improved in the K-5 II.
