Perhaps leave the filters off - why spoil whatever quality it has by adding more glass?

That's odd jules, as many on here have said the quality of the 16-50mm is sublime. Some even claim it rivals the 31mm.

It can be hard to reconcile and make sense of totally opposing viewpoints, although to be fair they are all subjective I suppose. There's no substitute for trying a lens for ourselves.

It's mostly the photographer that makes the images. 12MP is enough to satisfy technical quality up to A3. I've even used the MX-1 and Q cameras in competitions with success.

The more expensive cameras score in other ways - the ability to crop, extra features, weather resistance, and so on.

We still use the K-5 and will continue to do so until our hand is forced by them reaching the end of their operational lives.

No, only JPEG files.

All the images are hugely under-exposed. I would check the metering pattern. It may be that you are set to Spot metering, in which case change it to centre weighted or Matrix. If you under expose images will be dull and noisy regardless of the settings, so this may be the source of your problem.

Also check that the exposure compensation is set to zero.

I think the logic was that they were comparing the kit lens options, the 17-70mm isn't one of them.

I'm sure you'll have a great time with the K-5 IIs, it's a brilliant camera.

Sorry, no linking to competitor sites.

PS the OP asked about monopods, not tripods.....

There is a specific properties tab in the menus, but also the info appears in Bridge (the Photoshop browser) if we highlight any thumbnail.
