I have another camera without an AA filter that I bought as a light-weight jobby for when I didn't want to lug all my Pentax gear around.

Anyway, used it to shoot the Millennium bridge and the moiré in the metal mesh walkway has to be seen to be believed.

I posted (but deleted) the resulting photo on another site to ask if this level of moiré was normal for this particular camera, only to find that when posted the JPEGS showed no evidence of moiré at all.

So, given that the moiré shows when I view both the JPEGS and RAW on my computer, why does it disappear when the images are posted on-line?

(And is this the way to deal with the moiré effects with the K5IIs :lol

Don't panic!

There'll be other suggestions along soon, but try PC Inspector from Convar - it'll recover .jpg's. link

Also try 'Zero Assumption Recovery' link

Please post some shots to illustrate the problem, complete with exif data.

I seem to remember a tip to deal with this; always leave the lens on infinity focus between shots (I think :roll

Really? I thought he'd gone FF with another brand for professional shoots because Pentax weren't offering FF, but was staying with Pentax for personal/leisure use.

If you click on the thumb-nail photo you'll be taken to the full ad, which does have a picture of the mount.

Sorry to put the dampers on this thread, but got this from CamRanger re the prospects of a Pentax version;

"At this point we are focusing on Canon and Nikon DSLRs. We would like to add support for additional cameras in the future, but don't know if/when this would happen. The unfortunate reality of the situation is that Pentax is a much smaller market within DSLRs, but it is possible at some point".

I tried the 'we're WR', 'better togs', 'nice people', arguments, but to no avail.

The march of progress simply enables me to continue to take badly composed shots, etc, at higher resolution and amass more equipment that I'm finding increasingly difficult to store/find time to use/hide from my wife, etc.

Not only do I not throw any of my digital originals away, I'm actively trying to add to them by digitising my collection of film/prints and slides, some of which go back 50 years or so, and all of which have something of interest in them, however badly taken or exposed.

Shots of places I've been over the years - how they've changed; my Dad's 35mm slides - now I know where my bad photographer genes came from; the kids - were they ever so small/cute; the house and garden since we moved in - why did we change that?, etc, etc.

All my stuff is backed up over three external disks for safety, one of which is off-site at my sisters and swapped on a weekly basis.

Welcome Norbert. Pleased to see another addition to our growing International community (basically, anyone who's not from South London )!

Looking forward to (hopefully) seeing photos of Hungary.
