If the Ricoh pin is rounded so it looks like a ball bearing
it's not usually a problem.

AWB should work OK on the K-5.

To WB the RAW file the scaffold tube should be neutral grey.
You may have to try several points on the tube because it
does vary quite a bit.

The whites are burnt out and you are not really going
to recover much from that picture.

If you have the designers it costs as much not to design
a lens as it does to design one Unless you put the
designers to work sweeping the floor in which case it costs
as much to sweep the floor as it does to design a lens

I saw it on the Pentax K-5 II spec. but it doesn't impress
me enough to make me upgrade from the K-5

The same would probably apply were Pentax to produce a full frame camera
That's too big and heavy!

Did I mention too expensive as well at least it takes
£1.35 batteries from the far east

Samsung have FULL HD on their cameras

I would expect a legal challenge HD is probably a trademark :

Why not call them iPod coated or just Digital

in front of the car

I notice Samsung have FULL HD written on some of their
cameras.... That must be better than Pentax's HD

The RH site does have a link back to the original PF post
in which they think it's faked pf_link

I can't understand why they have used HD for the name of the
coating. I thought that was a trademark of the movie companies?
It's not going to attract any attention anyway it's so well known.

Pentax did patent such a beast.. and there were photos of the prototype 560 that did appear to be collapsable... so do not rule it out yet..
It's shown here collapsed and the pics came from
the same forum that now says it doesn't collapse and it's
not shown collapsed on the latest photos?
