No it's not... It's optimized for kit lenses with variable apertures so the viewfinder does not darken when you zoom in, and as such is pretty useless for manually focusing fast lenses and old...

From memory, Samsung prevented dumb flash firing since the NX200. You have to plug a Samsung-compliant flash...

Another solution would be to go mirrorless...
For the price (and size!) of the sigma 8-16 alone, you can grab a samyang 8/2.8 (sharp!) and a mirrorless body to go with it (say, a samsung NX1000, or...

Well, the K5 does have a built-in PC port (see http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/pentaxk5/5), if that satisfies your need (seems like it should, from what I understood of your current setup)...

Any way to send one to France?That's not even the price of the 16mm alone!
-
Okay, first test batch is done, and results are a little strange...I've started by the test involving only one lens, with the aluminum foil and halfway mount tricks.Purpose of this test is to see...

I have the 18-55WR, a Tamron 28-75/2.8 and its big brother the 70-200/2.8, so I'll be able to do some comparison tests...I'll throw in my other lenses as well (sigma 30/1.4, FA 50/1.4 and Samyang...
-
No, I think the issue with K5 and bounced flash is purely a software bug, as it shares a lot of components involved in flash control with the K7, so should not produce vastly different pics when...
-
A partial culprit here is the focus screen...Yeah, I already see your left eyebrow raising up in a "WTF?" manner, but stay with me a little moment longer here...The metering is done by a cell...
-
Well, in my case, further tests in low-light situations with various lenses still show the same old front-focus problem...Test case: get your subject under a low-light situation where the green...
-
With the Sigma 530 super, I don't have overexposure when tilted up... Seems like it affects only Pentax' own flashes...

Samsung NX200 with the 30mm pancake...

Indeed, in my thread from last year we found out that using a manual lens solved the problem...One easy test I intend to run tonight : cover the electrical contact of my 30/2 and see what...
-
Seems like Samsung really blotched things with their 20MP sensor... I noticed right away that my NX200's RAW had nearly nothing to give in the shadows, and any attempt at recovery was often...
-
Mmmmh, the 600$ quote is for the canon-to-nex speed booster, with built-in AF and aperture links (meaning that your Canon lenses will actually autofocus and close their diaph)...The dumber Leica to...
-
425€???? Holy schamoly! That's half-price from what we can have in France!!!EDIT : Amazon seems to sell them at 620€ right now...
-
Not Autofocus! Metering can be affected, but autofocus is not impacted by the focus screen!
-
Have a look to the USER modes... Just make one called "Birds" with all your preferred settings (say, P-mode with Program line set to Action, auto-iso on Fast, metering on spot with a +2 comp,...

If you are using mainly fast lenses (under f/2.8) or legacy lenses (m42 and K/M), then I've found out that using a blank Canon EE-S screen is waaaaaay better, for the following reasons:- it's blank...

Well, I have a good selection of fast FF lenses lying around for my K5, and also a Samsung NX200 as a carry-around cam (the 30/2 pancake is extraordinary, BTW!)...So, being able to get back this FF...
