The world has many many shallow people who might see benefit from theft of web images.

Bless them all.

Don't waver too long as it's officially discontinued at B&H.

Alan,
The K5 IIs is a "must have" as far as I'm concerned. I just didn't realise it until I bought it. Image quality is a step up with finer detail and super low noise at the higher ISO's. I still feel that the 16Mp sensor is at the crest of the APS-C curve with the K3 just over onto the +ve, lower side but having slightly different qualities.

The K5 has served me very well but it just doesn't have that final edge when compared to the IIs.

If we had jumped from a K5 to a K3 without the IIs then we wouldn't have known any better and missed a small bright star that is actually starting to get brighter and brighter.

At today's prices it's as good as its ever going to get.

Best regards

I didn't consider a K5-II or IIs as I wrongly assumed that they were just gap fillers. I did buy into the K3 early and was impressed with the metering over my K5 and general ergonomics. After seeing results from various quarters and listening carefully to comments from those I respect from a professional viewpoint, I bought a K5 IIs. My K3 does not better it in all areas, only some.

Both great cameras.

Best regards

Impressive animal and well photographed. The DOF works very well.

I'm wondering if that's due to me crunching the file size? I'm in the office at the moment and don't have access to the original files (shooting RAW + JPEG). I will have a look later today though and see if I can sort that out. Thanks for the heads up.

Probably why Darkmonk left his files at a much larger size?

I can now only wonder what shooting 5x4 format or larger would be like.

Best regards

Good call. Just re-checked and will get there around 2PM, just means less time in the pub before getting up to the abbey.

Drink plenty of fluids, I've heard it's a tad dry out that way.

Best regards

So I have now put three on Dropbox.

Open the image, right click and download original.

Hope these work?

Good comment Algi, I loaded them this morning from the office via Explorer. That gave the options of various sizes up to original. Now through Google I just get a mag glass with + inside so it must be the browsers characteristics.

Anyone in the know out there?

A quick cheque on Flickr seems to indicate that they limit the size to 2048!!! as it the "best image size".

Best regards

Not too long now until it's time for me to be at Whitby for the last sunset of the year, as last year.

Sunset is due at 4:48PM so I'll be up at the abbey.

Where will you be?

Best regards
