You can adjust the amount of noise reduction performed by the camera—our tests were done using default settings.
Surely the test should compare the optimum results, not he default settings which are clearly near enough to be considered statistically identical!You can adjust the amount of noise reduction performed by the camera—our tests were done using default settings.

A square sensor would produce an image suitable for a 10 x 8 print with very little cropping needed, it would be very close to the same shot taken full frame that would have needed the sides cropping.

My K5 arrived today and it defiantly ROCKS! Cant get over how mush faster AF is and how much quieter than the KX it is, not too mention how more intuitive it is to use

As much as I always liked film, there's something about being able to take a high quality image digitally and have it displayed / printed / circulated just seconds later if required.

It wasn't immediately obvious that the acquisition of these lenses was by a dealer. I thought that most dealers had their own sources to find values for their specialism and not have to ask punters on a user forum.
Perhaps SRS should ask us what they should sell their K-5's for!

I'm sure that would be appreciated by the whole forum and especially from the members that helped the seller to get such high prices by availing him of their valuable time and expertise on this thread and others.Perhaps the seller intends to donate a percentage of the proceeds to the forum

Hi, i have an old lens from my Ricoh, a 50mm 1:1.7 Rikenon, and was wondering if i would see a great difference if i changed it for a new AF 50mm, apart from the manual side. I don't use it a lot as i usually have the 18-55 kit lens or my 70-300 Sigma on.
I presume you have overcome the problem pin that can on occasion cause old Ricoh lenses to get stuck on Pentax mounts? If you've tried it and all is well, so be it. If not mention it here before trying.Hi, i have an old lens from my Ricoh, a 50mm 1:1.7 Rikenon, and was wondering if i would see a great difference if i changed it for a new AF 50mm, apart from the manual side.
