Some here said you could tell by some qualities of the photo if it's a Pentax or not so this a test if you can. Although nothing scientific.
Most members do know which one is the Pentax though, that does surprise me a little but the numbers are close.

yes me too, John knows a lot about lenses but he said there are the same in quality so that's where my understanding ends.Anvh wrote:

I trust his judgement, as I have great respect for him when it comes to Pentax lenses.Danny I've no idea what you read in Johns comment though that make you want to trade.
If it was the DFA WR then of course the build quality is something to upgrade for.

Same here and I've read it's very nice to use the manual focus as well and that also get me tempted, if only the quality of the optics improved a little bit now I find it hard to justify the expense...I find the D-FA 100mm quite flimsy which is why I rarely use it, I wonder if the new W version is better made .. that would be enough for me.
Let's hope Oggy has some good comparison photos

Hmmm no help yet since I don't have a metz 48 I can help you fully but first some questions.
Does the Metz flash in wireless since I can't make that out of your comment.
If not a simple things to do is set the flash on the camera and turn the flash on and set it to wireless.
Then turn the camera on and select in the Fn menu also wireless flash, in the top display you will see CH 1,2,3 0r 4 those are channels and if it's correct the flash automaticly picks that up now.
Press the shutter and remove the flash and then it should trigger the flash with the help of the build-in flash.
ps. you can set the build-in flash to control in the custom menu, then it wouldn't contribute flash to the photo.

I agree they would not be 100% the same hardware wise since the motherboard would be different but performance wise they should be equal and that for me makes it hard to say the Mac pro is worth to be 30% more expnesive.
Just something within me says it's wrong and that I could better spend that money I save on a better processor or even a new lens. But everyone their choice.
As for the OSX like I said Apple hasn't fixed the user agreement yet so you are allowed to install it on a PC not according to Apple but according the law, well at least for sure in the Netherlands.
Ah yes design is certainly worth something and Apple are quality products I don't question that but a Mac or PC will be standing next to me on the ground under the desk so no need to look fancy I just want performance from the thing so silent as possible.
Of course a laptop is another deal, I need to buy a Macbook for my studies.
I hope they've update to intel i5 by then with the new nvidia card, those look impressive for the laptop. When you don't use them they don't go idle but totally shutdown. You can even pull them out when the notebook is still running.
If Mac would be an open system like windows I'm sure the prices of the Apple products would be more comparable and hopefully put some pressure on Apple to keep the hardware more up to date.
I don't think it would be bad.

Depends and what you find important, for studio or good light photography the K20D and K7 give you the most quality although with low light the K-X win.Strange, and sad, isn't it. How their flagship dslr has been undercut by the k-x.
It's quite hard this because it are two very good lenses, I even needed to check I picked the right one so yeah I cheated
If we include me, 15 have voted and the most have the correct answer including me so the correct score is 7 vs 7

Kris you could probably put it on the bill for the archaeology that you do, you know such a shift/tilt lens would be very handy photographing sites and artefacts

Sorry Oggy didn't mean to offend you, I'm not so graceful with my words as you guys are. No harm at all intended but would love to see some prove, I hope you can post them because from the comparison that I've seen there is not much between them but would love to have another reason to buy this lens.

I say nothing
Little more info can not harm though
Both taken at 85mm
f/2.8
1/125
ISO100
And from what I can read, white balance is the same.
ps. for the 5 that have voted the majority have it correct.

here is a screenshot, looks like a new UI

Do you see the line between the comments, with the buttons on the right side, that follows your mouse, does look nice though.

I ain't the only one link
No problems in Chrome btw, I think they are testing something new on the youtube side
