Oh, cool. I'll have to google that to learn more about these beautiful birds. ;-) Matt

Thanks for showing us a beautiful pair of ... M

Well, that's something, isn't it? Thanks Dean. Always wondered if a lot of digital PFing isn't caused by the AA filter. The K5IIs may be the first camera where there is any significant user base...

Just curious if anyone has any lens designs like the FA* 24 f/2 that suffer from poor border resultion / PF on a conventional digital bodies like the K10d or K5 and has also tested them on a K5IIs...

My Pentax K10d DSLR did something similar to what you are seeing here, but it was more pronounced at high isos and the left side was green and the right was magenta. I rarely frame my main subject...

Does the problem get more sever at higher iso? If not, probably caused by the lens. If so, it's a problem with the sensor. Either way... run away, run away! This will haunt you!!! M

Oh, the horror. (thinks of all those years struggling to get the white balance right on his k10d and never succeeding) M

Looks like someone else also applied to be a writer for dpreview and got shot down... ;-) They didn't even reply to my message! The gall! ;-)

Hi Eric, thanks very much for this. Say, ever happen to test an NX100 under similar conditions? If not, what's your feeling - does the NX300 beat the NX100 for autofocus speed, and if so, by how...

I agree, that's why I did so this morning. John W has been registered at dpr for a sum total of 5 days. Matt

Hi John, "Joined on May 16, 2013" Welcome to the forum. You've really chosen to dive right in! Matt

Thanks, Dan, that sounds promising. I am no longer active on that forum after a bad experience with twits over there. Don't like the tone of the site's owners and a few of the members they have...

I think I'd personally call this a PR failure, not a marketing failure. And I do have a bit of professional experience in marketing and PR, so I'm not so sure I can accurately be referred to as an...

Hi Jakob, The K-01 did not get the positive reception Pentax hoped for. There were even plans to develop special k-mount lenses that take advantage of the lack of mirror box in the camera and stick...

If the trip is any good at all and your main purpose is not photography, I'd take the K30d +17-70 and forget about it. Seriously what do you need the 21 or 40 for. They're just going to be extra...

I don't know if it will be FF or not. I'm most curious to know what the next rumored camera above the k5 will be or, failing that, the K5's replacement. Or they could release another mirorless for...

The DA 50 I did forget. I suppose that one kind of baffled me a bit because they already have that focal length +/- 20% covered by about 5 other lenses. DA 40, FA 43, FA 50, DFA 50, DA* 55, and...

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm about ready for some Pentax news. I got all excited for Photokina in September, which was a letdown to put it mildly. Then PMA came and went. Then there...

Sure you can if you'd like -- I don't see anyone stopping you. Or forcing you to read this thread... ???????

I think that is in line with general expectations at this point. I personally suspect the camera is under development. Smart move! That market is getting taken over by phones. For the image...
