Re: Enablement (and PESO)

Alan is correct about my K5. I also have no complaints about the AF. One thing that I have done with each of my camera purchases (Super Program, istD, K10D, K20D, K7, K5, a K50 for my daughter and a K70 for my wife) is waiting to order until at least a year after introduction, so that most of

Re: Enablement (and PESO)

It is what Mike Johnston, and I seldom agree with Mike Johnston, would call a camera at the point of "sufficiency".   Which is one of the things that are killing the Photo equipment manufacturing industry.  It's got more resolution than most people need, more dynamic range than most people

Re: Enablement (and PESO)

The K5II is what the K5 should have been, had there been adults in the room. It seems to have solved all of the niggly K5 problems that were not resolved during production, such as buttons falling off and the AF being as reliable as a 10 year old Skoda. It is a big jump from the K10, enjoy it.

Enablement (and PESO)

It's been a long time since I bought anything photographic but I recently found a used K5ii at a reasonable price, and it arrived today. This is a big upgrade from my K10D. I went outside and took a couple of photos just after my daughter went to bed but the light was getting a bit low. No

Sorry I've not commented earlier. This is a great shot - sure, it may be less than perfect in the minds of some, but that's life. Life's not perfect. You caught a special moment - what you've got is not a studio portrait but a document of a fleeting moment in the life of a baby elephant and

Yep, I was also thinking that it would have been better to have just a bit more of the mother's foot; that would also have given a better sense of the scale. Thanks! Igor Thu Mar 22 03:38:25 EDT 2007 Bob W wrote: I love that picture. The light has captured the texture of the skin

I just recently purchased a SMC 2x-s Pentax TC. Last Saturday I had a chance to use it at the Wild Animal Park: they had a week-old(!) baby-elephant. Since the baby was tiny, and at a significant distance, I thought it would be a nice test for the TC. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the tripod
