My K-5 IIs is still getting regular constant use and to be honest I prefer its IQ over the K-3 somewhat except in the best light. At night that camera is a handheld beast though I will concede that the SR is a little better on the K-3. Still I can get down to 1/6th or more pretty easily depending

Compare to the GFX. In 2017 Fuji released 6 lenses for the system. And that's not even counting all the other lenses they have released in the past year from X mount to cinema lenses. Pentax designed 2 whole lenses for the K-1. The 100-450 and 70-200. And it took them over 2 years just to come up

Re: K-s2 vs K70?

The k-70 has a MUCH better sensor than the KS-2. It is a better sensor than even the K-3 has. It also gains 14-bit raw. I would pick the 70 over the S2 any day. It does lose GPS FYI. On Tue, May 16, 2017 at 2:04 PM, Sandy Harris wrote: > I'm not a remarkably serious or

Nope. AF is so slow in video i don't see the point anyways. On Tue, May 16, 2017 at 4:02 AM, Immanuel wrote: > Hello folks, > > Is there any way to use continuous AF with the K-3 while videoing? > > Thanks! > > Immanuel > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List >

Re: Up periscope! (for a question)

In pittsburgh right now! Yeah knob and tube wiring is very common here still. It is mostly safe as long as rodents stay away from it. Blown insulation is bad because if the wire overheats the heat has nowhere to go. And those wires were designed to cool by the surrounding air. So yeah, that's a

Re: Up periscope! (for a question)

I have gone through two 16-45s and the floppy lens barrel kills them every time and causes misalignment. I think it has awful build quality, but that's me. The 17-70 in either pentax or sigma flavor would be worth looking at if you have to go the precision route. You could replace a 16-45 I think

Re: Pentax sighting in product photos

I guess you get what you pay for. The fact that the L-plate is not from a single piece of metal gives me a lot of pause. It also lacks the precision to be screwed together square which says a lot about the quality of workmanship. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net

Re: Ricoh to cut back camera production?

Pentax has enough history that someone will at least want the name. I don't think Ricoh will give up Pentax just yet. They only paid $125 million for the company. That was pocket change to them really. The theta sells like wildfire currently and they seem intent on investing in that further. There

Re: Digital Slide scanners

It would be nice to come up with something for medium format that doesn't cost a terrible amount of money. Right now I'm thinking that a light table and a slab of anti-newtonian glass would be best. On Sun, Apr 9, 2017 at 9:58 PM, Bill wrote: > On 4/9/2017 1:56 PM,

Re: Hybrid hard drives, anyone?

You would have to be really starved for RAM if that made more difference than adding an SSD. My old i5 laptop took at least 5 minutes to boot windows 10 into a desktop on a 5400rpm drive. An SSD only takes about 10s. A massive difference. On Thu, Apr 6, 2017 at 11:11 PM, Bill

Re: Why did my K1 not go automatically to DST?

Yes it would use UTC most likely. I must add that none of my cameras have ever transitioned to DST automatically. Maybe I am using it wrong somehow? Ok. I just looked at my K-3 and though it was set to Chicago as the city it never changed. It does have DST highlighted though next to it so I'm

Re: PESO ISO 51,200

One thing I don't like about smart previews is that if you go to 100% magnification it loads the raw and renders it all over again. That takes some time. I actually don't use them very often because of that. Just working with the raw directly seems a little faster in develop mode though if work

Re: PESO ISO 51,200

If I have a huge set of photos I just import them and build 1:1 renders at import. That way I can flip through them and cull pretty quickly. Thing is though that the previews are only really used in the library in lightroom. As soon as you go to develop mode it rerenders the raw. Another thing is

Re: Pixel Shift: Any advantage to NOT using motion correction?

I think its just doing a simple pass looking for ghosting and substituting the information from a single frame much like HDR software does. It doesn't seem perfect, but it is impressive that it even works at all to be honest. You can easily extract a single frame and use that to correct any left
