Objective testing by various web sites and magazines have come to the
consensus that there is a small but noticeable difference in sharpness,
at the pixel level with a greater chance of noticeable moire. Since
most of us don't print at the pixel level, I wouldn't worry about it
either way. The K5II has much improved auto focus at lower light
levels. There's also some possibility that Ricoh put more effort into
sourcing better components than Hoya so K-5(( cameras may have longer
trouble free lifetimes than K-5 cameras. That last is conjecture, and
may or may not be important given the shortened life cycle of digital
photo equipment, as the K-5 series is already obsolete as a product.

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?
2. How often and how much of a problem is moire with the IIs body
using really sharp lenses?
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?
