My K-3 has just arrived and to answer your question, it's better than the K-5. Would still need a very slight correction, but not far off. That's after deliberately holding the camera quite a bit off level.
The problem with the K-5 was that you'd hold the camera level but the image was quite a bit off! That's using the automatic levelling feature - I need to retry using the indicator and getting the level from that.

Thanks, I'll investigate.

I think the only flu cards you can get in the UK are from the doctor.

Which version are you using? Check on the Faststone web site to make sure it is the most recent.

I agree, the gallery images look just fine. There's nothing drastically wrong. Nothing that a tweak in Photoshop or whatever program you use wouldn't sort out. You could probably teach us a thing or two!
If you think they're soft (not that they look it) a bit of sharpening should sort that out. Some cameras add that in camera, as can the K-5 but you'd need to turn the sharpness up. Most DSLRs presume you'll work on the image after you've taken it, not just Pentax.

You can upload images right into this thread if you wish. If you do we can discuss them and hopefully sort out the problem.

Hi and welcome to the the world of Pentax. Sorry to hear you are disappointed so far. Could I ask in what way you are disappointed and also how you have set your camera up, ie which setting are you using; auto, AV, P etc?

If you have any examples you can upload them to the forum so we can see and hopefully help.

Regards,

Maybe a FF prototype? That'd be a bit more special than a teleconverter.

The weekly LEGS competition doesn't even say that! Looks like anything goes.

The M 75-150's were well regarded when first released. I got one to replace a stolen Tamron 70-150. Still got the Pentax one but it isn't so convenient with digital having to set the focal length (same applies to any manual focus zoom of course) so it doesn't get much use these days having a DA55-300 as well.
For the price these M 75-150's go for at the moment they are a true bargain. If and when the FF comes along perhaps it will have some fresh outings!
