I didn't say *new* image stabilized Nikon lenses.  

My point being that there are probably a lot of cases where a K-5 with an 
adapter and the 50/1.4 supertak you picked up with the $10 spotmatic at the 
garage sale last year will outperform a D700 with an image stabilized f/2.8, or 
an unstabilized f/1.4.

Although I may have totally missed the memo about Nikon making image stabilized 
lenses faster than f/2.8.

Granted, if you've got a good tripod and the night skies of the aussie outback 
to photograph, I expect the D700 will still outperform a K-5.  I am rather 
curious to see what Nikon comes up with to replace the D700.  Maybe they'll 
upgrade it with the sensor from their current top of the line.

Well, Larry, by asking a question (quoted above) re the prices of such 
lenses, you made an opening whereupon you could be understood as asking 
about the new such lenses that are offered for sale nowadays...



My point being that there are probably a lot of cases where a K-5
with an adapter and the 50/1.4 supertak you picked up with the $10
spotmatic at the garage sale last year will outperform a D700 with an
image stabilized f/2.8, or an unstabilized f/1.4.


Outperform in which department? I am asking merely to be sure you and I 
are talking about the same aspect.



Although I may have totally missed the memo about Nikon making image
stabilized lenses faster than f/2.8.

Granted, if you've got a good tripod and the night skies of the

a K-5.  I am rather curious to see what Nikon comes up with to
replace the D700.  Maybe they'll upgrade it with the sensor from

I am shooting now both with MZ-6 and MX and I will see how many shots of 
mine are going to suffer from camera shake... I still maintain that for 
most part the importance of shake reduction, although non-zero is still 
way over appreciated.

Zeiss ZK 85mm is what I used. Zeiss uses the utterly nonsensical
1,4/85mm designation officially rather than the correct ratio-type
designation of 85/1.4 or just calling it the 85mm f1.4.

Could certainly be margin of error. The DxO tests are a decent guide
to performance but they seem to be taken as direct gospel by
altogether too many people and some of the tests are directly opposite
to my actual experience (the Nikon D90 was rated by DxO as the top
APS-C camera long after its performance in terms of IQ was exceeded by
others, including the K-x)

Re: DxO results for K-5

2010-11-05 Thread Boris Liberman
Well, I just dialed in K-5 vs K-7 versus Pana GH2. K-7 is rubbish if one 
is to take the numbers and indexes and ratings at their immediate value.


K-5 appears to have 3.5 EV dynamic range advantage over K-7...

Another interesting thought crossed my mind. Pentax is known for its 
lens making. On other hand, the sensor of K-5 is not developed by 
Pentax. I am thinking more in lines of somewhat tweaked sensor that Sony 
produced as per Pentax specifications. It also seems to me that DxO is 
comparing the combination of the sensor as a piece of specially 
processed silicon and all the electronics around it. Pentax appears to 
gradually build up their expertise in electronics side of the equation 
and now they have a great sensor (as per DxO sense of the word 
sensor). This is very interesting even though pretty trivial 
observation - Pentax has dramatically improved its electronics...

In Spanish again but I am sure that Miserere will point you to the offical
analysis page...
http://www.dslrmagazine.com/pruebas/pruebas-tecnicas/pentax-k5-sensor-raw-4.html

I just skiped to the conclusions where thay say that this is the best 
APS-C

sensor ever tested.

Jaume

What I find amazing is how the Kx seems to outperform the Kr.  And at high ISO 
even outperforms the K5 in dynamic range.

If you lose a stop of dynamic range and a stop of SNR for every stop of ISO, 
why not just shoot at the base ISO and underexpose?

Because pumping up the exposure in conversion or post conversion  
generates far more noise and loss of dynamic range than does  
increasing the ISO in camera. Been there, done that. Doesn't work.

Or 3.66m/s depends who's doing the throwing I guess. ;-)
