I've not used one, but this looks interesting.
It can scan straight to SD card without a computer.
The write-ups look positive and it seems quick.

Well worth getting a better copy, sharp enough wide open
but really sharp at f/4 onwards.

He'd gone to Tesco's for the Beer!

It's like hi-fi amps.... they are dearer without
bass/treble controls.

I think they replace the AA filter with a more
expensive invisible filter

Just think of it as a sucker tax

Don't forget that you can access the debug menu via PK_Tether
to +/- the master AF adjustments if you have any lenses
seriously out .

Tesco's are doing four 500ml bottles of almost any Bitter
for £5 which is £1 lower than they usually do.

I can't understand why Sainsbury's don't just match Tesco's
beer prices on the shelf. If it's a current offer they do
give a refund voucher, so they have to match anyway,
but because a lot of people don't know what Tesco's have
on offer they go to Tesco's instead I think
Sainsbury's shelf price is £5 for three.

I haven't bothered shopping at Sainsbury's for months,
even though I think it's a better shop.
Very poor management IMHO

I'm quite interested in the idea of the K5 IIs, as moire is not a problem in most of the shots I take, but I'd really like to know how much more detail is it going to actually give? Also, how easy is it to remove moire if it's obvious on any particular subjects? I see that Lightroom 4 can be used to remove moire.

There's an interesting comparison of a 5D Mk III with and without the filter here, if it actually makes that much difference I think I will be getting a K5 IIs and forgetting about wishing for a FF Pentax completely.
Strange that he's gone to all the trouble of removing the
filter and can't focus his camera properly

If you look at the 2 screen grabs the one with the filter
is mostly OOF

If you look at the bushes and top of the street light in the
upper left corner the one with the filter is focused on the
street light and is much sharper than the one without

The Penfolds shop sign on the one without the filter looks
weird?

A great Pentax man right to the very end.
