Good luck Alan

Yes and no.
But the 645D is a MF camera and not a 135 format although it seems to be a mud blood to quote Harry Potter.

I think with the first page they look at the highest sensitivity of the sensor and the graph shows the measured sensitivity.

Strangely enough ISO 50 on the Canon and Nikon appear to be the same as ISO 100.

If you look at the graphs you need to look at the print results.
There the pentax just wins with the noise, tonal range and colour sensitivity.


if you want to see a strange graph look at the ISO of the MF cameras.
The phase one is 1 iso stop off and the hasselblad is a constant ISO100

Hopefully i can have my K5 this week, got an email to call back for a job

It's just in the menu for you to turn it off.

It isn't that much of a deal for most, most leave it on for any type off photography and only on a tripod you should turn it off and when you use the shutter delay or an infrared remote the camera turns the SR off automatically.

I don't believe it gets turned off with a cable release since with a cable release you can leave it in normally shooting mode.

Only with the delay or on infrared remote the SR gets turned off, so if you want to use a cable release without SR you can set the camera on infrared remote.

Here it is compared to the 3 high-end 135format cameras from Canon and Nikon.

Compared to 2 MF that cost ate least 2 times as much.

Seems Ricehigh is the only one that trust Google bablefish, have you ever try to read the translations

They are pretty expensive and with the added charge of P&P it isn't that fun any more.

I've seen a couple of reviews about these on the USA forum and they are often considered good www.focusingscreen.com
The K-3 screen is roughly the same as the katz-eye screen another good screen is the Ec-B, that one is smaller then the K-3 so it might fit better for APS-C cameras.
And with smaller i mean the split screen part.

Here is a comparison off all the screens link
And here is the price list for the *istDS link

Only one day left after this one.

The K10D only has something like 3FPS, the K7 has 7FPS so it can fill the buffer in almost a second, that doesn't leave a lot of time for the processor to process and write the photo to the card.
I think the biggest lack off the K5 and also with the 645D is that they didn't upgraded the processor.
