It's been higher....

As I also have a D7100 as well as the K-3 I can agree with that, that's why the D500 is only 20-21MP - the D7100 is good in some areas but lacking in others. But there is some magic in those 12-16MP sensors that the higher MP sensors can't replicate.

Not done anything with Valda but Doug is ace....Check out Charlotte Gilliatt's work.

I enjoy your images, very different indeed.

I'll buy the K-3ii off you for £5

It would be wrong to call moving from the K-5 to K-1 an upgrade. I would call it an extension...K-3ii is the logical upgrade.

The reason for this is that you're going from APS-C to FF demands a different style of photography. If you do wide views and need the resolution then get the K-1 - but don't bin the K-5 which is an excellent camera.

To get the best out of the K-5 (and K-1) there is no harm in looking at your technique to see if you can make any improvements that will help make your images stand out more. You only have to look at Nigel's photos, and what he can achieve with the K-7 (which is considered inferior by some).

Tried everything, the focussing ring moves freely when the AF switch is disengaged (ie pulled back) - the screw moves only so far. It just feels like there is a physical jams stopping the mechanism moving....also doesn't feel like it's small debris either, the ring is smooth.

was checking my Z-1 before sending it off to its new home at Hampton Court yesterday and boy could anything focus - no - oh I thought the camera was broke. No, the AF switch was in manual, turned on AF and still no focussing...

turns out the focus of the lens is between just before infinity and infinity - all mechanical efforts are in vain.

Is this unique? has anyone else had the same issue? Does not help that the 16-50 is in for repairs already so I am currently without a mid-range zoom for next weekend. So when I collect one lens the other gets dropped off....

Let's hope it lasts until my Mastercard payment goes through on the 14th. I really do want that 150-450.

Might have to comtemplate selling/p-exing the K-5 to help with the funding for that and a K-1 - having a broken DA*16-50 and FA*28-70 doesn't help matters much at the moment.

seems to be more appreciated on TalkPhotography.... now sold there.
