"Haven't seen the studio shots but I expect no mind-blowing corner performance here." The studio shots are one click after the preview title page linked here -- why write this instead of looking...

Thanks, this solved the too-warm auto-WB! It worked only in P mode, not in iAuto mode, but P mode is sufficient (the G menu is mostly inaccessible in iAuto).
I also discovered the Capture WB as one...

I am new to the Olympus E-PL5 (bought with 14-42 II R kit lens), and I am trying to get it to produce better jpegs out of the camera. However, the auto white balance seems to come out too warm,...

One lens I can suggest *not* to get is the Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5. In my experience it is not a great performer, despite the nice build quality and quiet focus. The corners are terribly soft, and I...

But an AA filter is the thing that provides a blurry mess for you (defocusing before going into the Bayer filter). :)
By the way, I found this page showing LR 4's color moire reducing tool:...

I also think the Ricoh test scene blows the Nikon's out of the water. My guess is that it's due to the Ricoh's two aspherical lens elements -- the Nikon lacks any.

I got the yellow brick + the 40 XS. While the yellow brick has become my main camera over K-5, the 40 XS is just so-so. I find it has very high CA. On the other hand, it's tiny and I like the field...

I love these shots, especially these two! This series make me miss my K10D (which went on ebay a few months ago after ~ 2 years of no use).

Lovely photos. I have the Pentax 18-250mm, which I use with the K-01 a lot, and like, but I have wondered about this newer Sigma. The Pentax focusing is a loud buzz that could wake the dead, so HSM...

Funny, I went in the other direction. First I had the 18-250 and thought it was pretty good, but I eventually upgraded to DA* 16-50 + DA 55-300. After neglecting it for a few years, I actually have...

I definitely agree with you on regret for buying the Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5. It's just not sharp unless stopped way down. I don't know why I went with it instead of the less expensive, smaller...

It doesn't surprise me, since Emmy Photo is not an authorized Pentax dealer -- even if you get the box, it will not have a valid USA warranty. They are most likely selling grey market equipment...

Some evening cherry blossom viewing during my trip to Korea last week (K-01 and FA 50mm f/1.4):

I wasn't referring to pixel pitch on the sensor, I meant pixel pitch in image space -- just the total number of pixels or array size of the photo. As Gerry's comment also said, the same dpreview...

I also agree with the conclusion that this is moire. A Bayer pattern sensor with no AA filter will suffer some moire artifacts, and they will tend to show up when imaging patterns that are close to...

Thanks for the reply. I know just about any lens has some amount of fringing on high contrast scenes, including this FA 50 1.4 I've used for comparison, but it's been nagging at me that my 40 XS...

It doesn't look *too bad* to me, not unusable, but I just wonder how this prime lens could be thought to be the same lauded design as DA40mm 2.8 LTD (which I never tried) and give results like a...
