It should be soon now. But there's no actual date, and knowing that in the past Pentax often missed expected availability by a few weeks, it's hard to tell whether you be able to get the K-5 II in...

I generally don't worry about the consequences of changing lenses, so primes are my preference. Moreover, I find changing lenses is a good thing since it slows down my photography. To avoid...

The fact that you can indicate a single post as the correct answer to your question. That avoids readers from having to go through the entire thread to find the answer. Wim

Indeed! Once you've been to the real place there's really no comparison. I have... ;-)Wim

Sure, but last times the themes were more varied: beach scenes, doll houses, ... The main purpose is to offer colourful shooting targets. It just struck me that there was much less variance this...

The jungle theme was hardly original. I think jungle related exhibits were featured in at least 4 of the large booths. Next to Sony, there was Panasonic, Zeiss, and I believe Samsung had a small...

It's much larger and heavier than the DA15 of course, more comparable to the DA14 in size though possible somewhat heavier, mainly due to its excellent build (as far as I remember, as I used the...

Just back from Köln (visited Photokina yesterday).Most people on the Pentax stand were OK in terms of knowledge (though some knew more than others), taken into account that most were interims,...

I agree with previous posters that the K-5 IIs will be the more popular if Moiré turns out to be a non-issue and there is a noticeable difference in resolution to be seen.This would be similar to...

Hi Ron,So it is. The guy doesn't say much more than what's already known about this. He does mention that it's indeed mounted using the new adapter and there's a glint in his eyes when he quote the...

I'm not sure about trees, since these do not really exhibit repeating patterns, do they? Man made patterns for sure though.Indeed, noise will not be sharpened and as such become less visible. It...

Moiré effects would be more likely, esp when shooting fabric and man made patterns. Practice needs to show the degree in which this can manifest itself though. In the D800E it seems rather rare to...

Last Photokina there were a few prints behind the counter showing the (then) amazing difference between the K-7 and the K-5 at ISO6400. One had to ask to see them though. If Pentax doesn't show the...

24mm on APC-C = 36mm equiv. With T/S this is a very nice landscape lens. I'm looking forward to this one! Perhaps a nice one to couple to the new Pentax K-5 IIs. Seems this could make a great...

I'm currently intrigued by the new lens that Samyang announced. It's a 24mm f/3.5 Tilt/Shift lens (=36mm equiv), and it will be available in K-mount making it the widest T/S lens available for our...

Practical use will have to indicate whether the changes are significant or not. A giant leap ahead in AF performance could make a gigantic difference in daily use.How can we judge a new LCD when we...

Isn't that always the case? I most strongly remember the K20D which was as the K10D should have been, but even the K-5 itself was as the K-7 should have been. However, the fact is that both the...

I am beginning to think I might just as well bury my long glass wishes...Well, the K-5IIs may offer more resolution without additional filesize. Thus I might get away with cropping some more. And...

Agreed!And if the K-5IIs will result in higher resolution with the same file size, it's even better.One small caveat though. I remember similar statements when Pentax went from the K20D to the K-7,...

Apparently a press release might be published tomorrow? Which in itself is also a rumour... ;-)Wim
