I forgot to mention that I learned a few other things about the K-5 last night.
When it is doing the noise reduction dark field exposure, it displays a countdown in the viewfinder until the exposure will be done. It may also display a notice about the two second mirror up as well. I've always avoided ball heads for landscape tripod work. Once I find level, it's a pain in the butt to reset it if I lose it, but with the electronic level on the back display, it's trivial to reset, and ball heads are much better for photographing at high angles. When I tried a few shots with the 16-50, I expected them to be darker than at f/1.8, but they were much darker than I expected, especially once the exposure times got higher. I eventually determined that as amazing as the low light sensitivity of the K-5 is, it does not actually work even if you leave the lens cap on. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
