I take the K5 out when its raining, or at the track. Otherwise I prefer to use the X-E1 or X-Pro1.
Each has a specific use.
And no it isn't a Sony sensor!....
OK?

If you live in the UK. Then you will appreciate that the Pentax K5 and kit lenses are water resistant... It's worth it just for that. Which is why I will keep the K5 and the two WR zooms, along...

You may pick up the older Tamron 52B for a very reasonable price. It was the sharpest lens I own until I got the 35mm F1.4!
But it's only 1:2 (FF) so about 1:1.5 on APS-C. Yiu need the matched 2x...

X-E1, + Spare bateries, 14mm & the Zoom. I would take the 8mm, but tha'ts just my bent.
Spare camera:X10 (will be cheap now and give you the extra reach)
Tripod: If small, light and versitile is...

In Manual mode, just press the centre of the command dial it acts as a instant zoom. The contrast is also enhanced to assist in focusing. (Page 43 of the manual).

ISO 1000... What does it matter?
Using film one bought, Say Tri-x at Iso 400, and then by processing with diferent developers and times resulted in a range of ISO's 100 to 3200. So long as one...

18-55 +14 +8mm on the XE-1
And you can travel light.

I've just come back from Budapest using the 35, 18 and 8mm on the X-Pro, along with the X10. I would say that half the images were on the X10, mainly because the zoom was so useful. And with the...

It prbably means they introduce some form of ND filter in the light path from F8 onwards. Why not just say that rather than this advertising speak...
One cannot change the laws of physics.... ...

I personaly don't think the XPro-1 uses a Sony sensor. i've examined the pin outs on both types and they are quite differentBut It realy doesn''t matter who makes it as the intrinsic,...

Here is the Pentax 50mm F1.4 mounted on the X-Pro1. The lens is roughly 30 years old, as It was on the LX I had at that time. I don't get any colour casts and the lens is sharp from F5.6 (sa are...

I agree.It's likely that a DXO review produces similar results, as both are new lens designs.
-
I appreciate that the Sigma is a FF Lens. (Well done Sigma!). But it would be interesting to compare the performance on APS-C with the Fujinon. Thoughts?
-
The only raw conversion which is any good is in camera. I've given up - just use the excellent JPG output.I'm expecting Fuji to release a firmware upgrade which offers 16bit TIFF output as a...

I think Samyang make this lens. Its very neat; quite heavy for its size and sharp beyond F5.6. Manual Focus - but that realy isn't an issue with Fisheyes.

I think the permanent discount is now very likely. The X-Pro1 has just appeared in the fuji refurbished camera shop at £799http://shop.fujifilm.co.uk/refurbished-digital-cameras?price=16%2C50Always...

Looking at the DPReview comment on the D600 dust problem, I thought it time to check my six month old X-Pro1, after approx 5000 images.
My Pentax K5 makes dust location this easy, and there is a...

First, Dabbler is wrong. Whilst the X-Pro doesn't have an AA filter it does have an Infra Red filter. so any dust is stuck to a glass surface not silicon.I've had my X-Pro 1 now for about six...

Here are some real world examples I took todayhttp://thomapg.piwigo.com/index?/category/791-11_15_4_quarries

I've always had Ultra Wides and Fish-eyes. So the chance to get the Samyang lens on the X-Pro1 couldn't be missed.Here it is:-As you can see it is very small and neat. It's machined entirely from...
