Class A

I just posted a report, sharing my experiences using Cactus LV5 laser triggers.-> http://www.flickr.com/groups/strobist/discuss/72157632760360555/72157632779101422/

Pentax K-5 II (leading the DxOMark APS-C ranking, and beating some FF models) not available as a choice???

From the K-30 review from Imaging-Resource:"Pros: Pentaprism viewfinder is bright and accurate; Weather-sealed body can handle direct rain; Twin control dials make exposure control a snap; Solid...

It is nice to see that user feedback here has led to many error corrections (thanks Lars).

However, if small typos like "viewo" are fixed, could someone please add "two control dials" to the...

Regarding "Video": Nicely put, Dan. :)Regarding "Nice job":If only we also could say "Nice job, Lars, for responding to our valid question."

You and I, and probably most people that shoot Pentax go and actually read the review, ignore the overall score, deciding for themselves what is important and what is not.The majority of buyers,...

Hi Lars,maybe my question got lost:Why are the two dials are not mentioned as a "Pro" point for the K-30? Why are they not once mentioned in the Conclusions, even thought this is a rather unique...

Thank you very much for your response. Your point about the 78% score is well taken.I do would appreciate an answer to my question as to why the two dials are not mentioned as a "Pro", though.Is...

Thanks for the review which does a good job overall, butI'm very surprised that the two-dials are neither listed as one of the "Pros", nor are mentioned anywhere in the "Conclusions" at all. Why...

First of all, thanks for what you are doing to promote Pentax. I'm not going to correct every mistaken statement made in this thread but I'd like to comment on the following:That's bad advice.Any...

Well, I don't think the verdict can be made that easily.Capture sharpen the images from the K-5 (II) a bit and they will look the same. In particular in situations like your studio scenario where...

New K-5s should have a shutter count of zero (it is reset after testing in the factory).B&H must get returns every day but their "open box" category web page never featured a K-5 whenever I...

Judging from my experience no AF will be quick enough if band members move really fast.For quick motion, I prefocus and hit the shutter when the band member gets into the right spot / position.The...

I'd find it hard to not have a top LCD for the following reasons:1. Easier to read than the back display because of its positioning when hand-holding. 2. Easier to read in bright sunlight. 3....

Is the "Hands-on preview" video supposed to work?

I get a message that it is "private"?

BTW, Richard I understand your frustration about focus-peaking not being available in video. But there is...

Hi John,is there a particular reason for the overhang of the flip-up arm?Is it there for the simple reason that the top flip-up arm would have looked very angular if it had been cut off above the...

You are not the first who wants to sell this argument. But ask someone who wants to buy a DA* 50-135/2.8 now whether they agree.At the end of the day, the money I'm parting with when I get a lens,...

As you have noticed, Pentax USA has changed its price policy, raising lens prices, in some cases to ridiculous levels. That was an unfortunate move and the intended benefits have yet to...
