But I bet if I did 5 shots instead of two, the blur would be much nicer, more like actual bokeh, less like funky double vision... :-) -Matt

Hi Phil, Yes! Well, not automatically using the in-camera multiple shot function (unless you are extremely lucky and hit right on the exact pixel you need, which is impossible), but if you take...

So basically a stereoscopic image that actually converges in the center. :-)

Some more thoughts on the typical landscape situation:This technique might work best with a vertical offset between the cams when you've got objects in the lower portion of the frame that are OOF...

Guten Morgen, Phil! Just a real quick reply, maybe more later when I'm fully awake: -If you have the right angle (i.e. not a right angle, and in front of cams, not in back), IR from 4 meters should...

Seriously people, wait for the actual product photos. I'm sure the cam is dead sexy. And really it's not so far off from the k5 at all, which has consistently been praised for its looks. This is...

The option I'm missing here is: "I'm gonna wait until the K3 is released for the price of the K5IIs to plummet then score one of those instead right before they're discontinued and the price climbs...

At this point, the only thing I can possibly think is happening is that their lens factories are busy making a whole bunch of new lenses that have yet to be announced or put on the lens road map....

This guy is a true master of content marketing. And I like his content!

And then, once you've got that working for two-shot pairs, you start rotating the pole... now we have narrow dof panoramas, Zucker-style. :-)

These are really cool shots, thanks! The remind me a bit of double exposures (and I guess that's what they are, but temporally synched). Phil you also mention applying this technique to taking...

Yeah, they clearly have been reading Photorumors and DPR, and this thread in particular. It's all cyclical, the rumors may even all be coming from the same source... So multiple sources reporting...

Several of their recent releases actually did just that, the k10d, the k-5, even the k-30 was a fantastic deal. Those cams were the best bang for your buck for a while when they were released. The...

Hi James, It seems so. The 645D uses the exact same telephoto lenses as its analog predecessors AFAIK, possibly with exception of the new 90mm macro, but is that truly a telephoto? Not sure. The...

I don't know about you, but despite having done paid photography gigs and sold prints in the past, I have zero illusions about being some sort of professional photographer. I also doubt there is...

Cool, I didn't know it was an active program. I suppose there aren't exactly thousands of photogs signed up for it, which might explain why you don't hear about it. Matt

I remember when this was announced, like back in 2008. But was it for real? Did they really follow through on it? Has anyone ever heard of someone who used the service? I seem to remember someone...

Hi James, Yes, I think this must be what is going on at the moment. It appears now that I was incorrect to classify the cameras as pre-production models, they are apparently final hardware...

Yeah I don't think you're going to see Pentax bet the farm on a retro-style DSLR any time this decade. It's not that they wouldn't want to, it's just too niche for what they're trying to do. If you...

:-p
