Hmm. That is almost half of what I am used to.

That is not correct. According to DxOMark K5 has a max if 10.5 PDR. K-1 has 11.30.

Where did you get that DXOMark score for the K5?

This page https://www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Pentax/K5---Measurements seems to indicate 14 stops DR (using their system). I don't know what that translates to in real world use at acceptable shadow noise levels. DR seems to be one of those specifications where you can score almost anything depending on how the measurement is done.

I agree. That is why it is not helpful to pop up here and just say a camera has a DR of ## in isolation. It is best to list cameras comparatively from the same DR test or test site.
