It isn't the focus that is the problem. The JPEG compression is clearly visible as squares all over the photo Door handle is the way the best shot IMO. but it also looks way out of focus.

Something that is really annoying is that it is illegal to pick wild plants for propagation! For example, British bluebells are getting rarer but you are not allowed to pick and propagate. Spanish bluebells, and invasive species, you can buy at any garden centre and help make the problem worse for our native species.

It seems to be exactly the same panel type, just a higher resolution. They may be coming off the same production line.
Also depends whether you want a 16:9 or 16:10 ratio screen.

Rather than get bogged down in specs and technical details, how about the idea that a Dell 2209WA does the job very well for a fairly modest £250 or so?
Perhaps purchase on Amazon (if available I haven't checked) so that you have a 30 day return policy and you've nothing to lose.
Same from me, the improvements you will see will be small compared to how much you will spend. That is the main reason I didn't get the 2408WFP PVA monitor.Rather than get bogged down in specs and technical details, how about the idea that a Dell 2209WA does the job very well for a fairly modest £250 or so?

The cactus v5 can also trigger the camera since it has a remote function so what will happen if you do that and use the other V5 with flashes?
I don't think the camera is fast enough to capture the flash though...
I don't have the remote release cable. I didn't know if I'd use it so left it.Tyr wrote:
Definitely syncs fine to 1/180. Got a set of 4 and love them. Sadly cannot go higher as Pentax cameras block the hotshoe at higher speeds.

Some people turn the camera upside down to sync at a higher
speed, if it's outside it shouldn't show a black band because
it's the sky
Pentax cameras you can't even get black bars there is no way to fire the flash at higher speeds as far as I have been able to fathom.Thanks for that info... I'll probably get the cactus v5 when the two

From playing with RAW samples from DPReview and DXOMark I'd say 1/2 to one stop better noise control on the K-5. Which is quite touch to achieve. So ISO1600 shots on the K-5 should look like ISO800 on the K-r.
Where the K-5 really shines though is with the dynamic range on top of the low noise and ability to bring back shadow detail with minimal noise.

Once you have insurance, transport, equipment reinvestment, postage, materials, utilities, petty cash items, stationary, etc. you still need to add proper labour costing on top of that. It all adds up very quickly.
As the local market is my packages are about the middle of the road. I prefer portrait or other studio sessions as they are more fun and relaxed.
