FSF: Pentax K5

I’d like to sell my K5. It looks great. Hasn’t been used in several years. comes with all the accessories and instruction manual in the original box. Strap, cables and charger were never used. It’s missing the plug for the battery grip. $250 or $300 with the battery grip -- PDML Pentax

Re: Upgrade from K5 to KP???

My KP arrived. I'm impressed by the image quality and the many many options. I think I'll permanently mount my DA35 macro to the KP and no more crawling in the mud for macro's with this combo. Toine On 7 July 2018 at 01:20, Zos Xavius wrote: > Oh yeah. SR works in movie mode on the K-5 too. Tha

Re: Upgrade from K5 to KP???

Oh yeah. SR works in movie mode on the K-5 too. That alone makes up for the lack of manual mode IMO. For the most part you can get away with autoexposure and exposure locking when appropriate. The files are huge and it only records for 5 minutes, but 80mbs is much better than the 18 or so the K-3 i

Re: Upgrade from K5 to KP???

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 o

The recent cash back action made me wonder if I should upgrade my 6 year old K5 to the KP. Full frame is not what I need since most of my glass isn't full frame. Which results in the K3-II as the only other option. What I don't like on the KP is the small new battery size and the m

Re: If I upgrade from my K5 ...

Sure, but with some caveats. If you have zero movement in your scene, then you are golden. If tree branches sway in the wind, water flows, grasses move, people, etc, there will be some issues. The K-1 has some software that helps with this when it processes PS files, but the k-3 never was upgraded

Re: If I upgrade from my K5 ...

I had the K-3. I sold it (them) and moved from APS-C to the K-1. But if/when I decide to revisit APS-C, I would absolutely definitely choose K-3 over K-3ii. Two reasons. I still haven’t become convinced of any real world advantage to the pixel-shift gimmick. Second, the K-3ii ditches the pop-up

Re: If I upgrade from my K5 ...

The K-3II either has a different sensor or slightly different sensor masking, as it has a slightly higher pixel count. Not enough to, by itself, make a "real world" difference in image quality, but it's not exactly the same. Just very close in pretty much every respect. On 1/9/2017 10:49 AM

For the purposes of general photography not much. On the other hand, the K-3 is actually selling for more NIB than the K-3II is where it's available*... *A phenomenon I've also noted about the K-5 vs later Pentax cameras as well. I suppose a NIB K-5 would be a nice collectors item, or not,

PDAF systems in particular MUST know absolute lens focus setting in order for the AF systems to work. Without it, there's no way to calibrate the system. G > On Jul 17, 2016, at 9:11 AM, Larry Colen wrote: > > I wish the lens mounts would return focus distance to the camera body. > If they can

Charles, Had a problem with the door on my *istD (My dropping it). Repair was $200+ on the weather sealed door. Hope they have improved design since then. Repair had to take apart a large part of the shell to fix it. I should have just used black duc tape after the super glue failed. Regards, Bob
