And even without the poll, the chatter on the forums shows that the sensor stain issue wasn't confined to a small percentage.
Why try and keep burying the head in the sand? The issue was real and it was widespread. Pentax made a balls up with their production control, admitted it and made good for those early adopters who had the stains. They fixed the problem, there's no need to hide it now.
well since you and JR disagree, it would appear (by some peoples logic...yours to be precise..) that 50% of the people polled think you are wrong. Therefore you must be only be half right, and if you're half right, then fifty percent of the whole world thinks your head is buried somewhere, and since I think your head is buried in your butt with your logic, then my 50% plus JR's 50% is 50% greater than your 50%, so a 100% of the earth's population concludes that your math is at least as flawed as mine.johnriley wrote:

That's not an accurate statistic, and we've been there before....Around half the owners of early K-5s who frequent pentax forums around the world reported sensor stains

it is fair comment since thus far all the available evidence has come from me, JR and you. and we're only weighing the available evidence.
there fore your head, logically is buried in your butt.
I'm gonna have another Sleeman's Honey Brown Lager, and some habanero wings, as I'm also conducting a scientific study carried over from another thread. that thread BTW is waaaaayyyy more interesting than having this debate again!

Lamb jumping - Clone or not?
I do not condone cloning Lambs, whether they be sleeping, standing, running or jumping.Lamb jumping - Clone or not?
If that lamb is a clone, I cannot tell...
photoshop job doesn't look bad at all.... a little rough around the back of the neck and tip of ear, but otherwise well done.

How about they produce the same (or a similar) effect in the viewfinder electronically.
I use liveview a lot for focus confirm, but I don't like holding the camera like that, and the way it's set up is a pain. At least let us enlarge the central part of the image leaving the rest unaffected, Pentax.
I would hope that a new camera with interchangeable viewfinders would be Pentax's official foray into the EVIL market... one model up from the k5... I'd love the idea of being able to pull the pentaprism off the camera and having two or three different types of viewfinders to attach... a waist finder lcd, a video type evf and your choice of penta mirror or penta prism finders....How about they produce the same (or a similar) effect in the viewfinder electronically.

you just buy the base camera for a low price and buy which ever finders/viewers you want, slide out a plastic cover and slide in you preferred finder.

it is just a snap shot for you guys, but hint: the subject isn't the cat, the subject is the bokeh.....

here is a video clip of what the 85 2.2 soft does as video...

these are the types of shots that can translate directly to Wedding & portraiture. (eg instead of my cat one might do a close up of the eyes of a bride and a portrait shot of a bride in front of a window, bridal bouquet with grooms name, in staed of a single rose, cake topper instead of xmas ornament...) you guys get the idea.... I just put this together in a couple minutes....

could be some custom settings (ca and lens corrections) shooting RAW, or slow memory card...
