Im considering selling one of my lenses and buying a K5 II or IIs with
the funds but I am undecided because I dont know a couple of things
about these two bodies.
1. How much real sharpness difference do you really see between the II
and IIs when using a really sharp lens?
It's noticeable. I wouldn't say it's huge, but the difference is there.
If you are using really sharp lenses, consider a K3 instead though.
2. How often and how much of a problem is moire with the IIs body using
really sharp lenses?
I can't speak to the K5II, but I am also using 16mp Fujis that don't
have AA filters, and moire is rarely a problem.
I've found that if it is, simply increasing camera to subject distance
slightly will cure it.
Any guidance would be appreciated, and thanks in advance.
P.S. 3. Could someone remind me what is the difference between a K5 and
a K5II?
The K5II is what the K5 should have been except that Hoya made the K5 as
cheaply as possible, which caused a lot of problems. I don't think the
K5II has the severe AF problems that the K5 had, and so far I haven't
heard of the common K5 problems such as buttons falling off.
