I think persistently what you are not seeing is the improvement of clarity in detail. That's clearly visible to me and to others as well. I see it in the images.

When referring to screens I was not thinking of brightness, which has nothing to do with resolution. High resolution screens show the K-5IIs has improved rendition of fine detail, just as we would expect it to. It can't not do because there's no blurring being applied by the camera.

Large prints also show improved rendition of fine detail. Sharpness isn't the issue, it's all about the finer resolution of details in an image. We can all make our images look sharp, hopefully.

Beg to differ. I can see the difference. I looked again just now on the iPad 4 and it's obvious, so is it something to do with our respective screens? I can't think of anything else that could affect viewing so much.but am open to ideas.

Soligor lenses were mainly a low cost range of the usual focal lengths - 28mm, 35mm, 135mm....there was a higher quality range called Soligor CD.

One lens that was highly regarded was, I think, the 135mm f/2.3 but that was in the days of film and how it would stack up on a DSLR is anybody's guess.

I have a feeling that any Soligor lenses usable on Pentax would be almost certainly be M42 screw thread.

That's a great sort! Seriously, lovely image.

The WR lens means both camera and lens are weather resistant, which would make sense if you are thinking about venturing out in the rain.

A proper two year warranty for £20 extra has to be worth it IMHO. Expensive warranties bought as extras are often not worth it, on the basis that most electronic items that are going to fail will fail within the first six months.

If we had bought warranties for all the camera we have bought, it would have cost an absolute fortune. The actual cost has been one sub-£100 repair to a K10D.

Well done! What sort of image was it?

I think you are misunderstanding what I was trying to say DrO. Your opinion is fine, you don't have to justify anything. That wasn't the point.

What I am suggesting is that you have the means to ask the man. If you do and you get an answer, then there is nothing to stop you telling us about it DrO.

Steady on DrO, contrary to what you are saying I have no unswerving loyalty to any manufacturer. What I am suggesting is that we should keep an open mind. If you think the guy is wrong, take it up with him on his blog. You can post your feelings there and he can answer.

I'm not sure where Pentax came into this, unless you are asserting that he was acting on their behalf. In which case, ask him and see what he says.

However, having said all that I was making a generalised comment and it wasn't specifically aimed at DrO or anyone else. I don't think such a light hearted and fun review style should be taken so seriously. It's rather more palatable than the other guy, Kai, in my opinion anyway.
