I wouldn't have thought so...

Is the mkiis the image on the right?? Looks a tad sharper?

I recently sold my three / four year old Tamron and upgraded to a da* 16-50 and noticed a significant improvement in image quality.
More than I was expecting actually.

So are the comparisons on Imaging resources and DPreview irrelevant and useless?
Not useless, but not a real world comparison. I would rather see some comparison done at extreme low light conditions with some side by side focussing speed comparison videos...

Shooting comparisons in studios is all well and good but how many of us actually shoot inside a studio? Studio conditions are not exactly pushing the extremes...

I may be ordering a mkii tomorrow...

If you can do without the zoom range the DA* 300mm f/4 would be an easier option.

I would rather hear from someone who owns all three versions of the k-5 or even just mkii and mkiis.

Thanks Cabstar,

In no particular order:

Weight and size, image colours, in built SR, weather proofing, 7 fps, little things like the one click green button, Tav is nice, 14.1 dynamic range, great ISO noise, -3 evs to name a few.

As a business I can buy three K-5 II to just one 5D Mk3, the lenses are cheaper and better made.

But mostly to be different and not following the herd.
My friend has the 5d mkiii and like you I thought of all the pentax kit I could buy for that one body....

That's very different, welcome to the forum.

What made you change systems?
