I think the moment you have to invoke Hitler or argue about him, you lose the argument. Godwin's law. This really has nothing to do with cameras whatsoever.

dptroll also went on about comparing...

Many programs still won't work with K-1 II DNGs without a camera profile for it. For example, DXO Pro Optics, Corel Aftershot Pro 3. I was able to build a camera profile for Aftershot myself. Not ...

Bobthearch, I think you mean FAA, not FFA. There are other countries on the planet which have much stricter policies on LiOn batteries. China is one.

My solution :

Use a Pentax K-30 with AA adapter. Just 4 rechargeable Eneloop AAs, no Li-on batteries.

Or Pentax K-1 II with battery grip, and 6 AA batteries. Leave the battery slot in the camera...

I shot the test images for full frame for the K-1 II that were provided to bclaff, so I can answer this one. Yes, that setting was turned off.

Are you talking about the disappearing red line in the K-1 II ? I thought that was the area where the NR showed a most observable loss of sharpness. Of course, I don't read Japanese, I used google ...

So, how do we interpret those results ? And under which shooting conditions would the NR from the accelerator have the most visible negative impact, in terms of eliminating sharpness that one might ...

Aren't the magenta splotches in the dpreview test at ISO 100 due to purple fringe related to lens differences ?

Speaking of which, is there an ignore button in this forum ? There is at least one user that belongs on my ignore list.

If you do any video, even if you don't publish in 4K, it is still very useful to shoot 4K in order to have more latitude with crops. And >8 bit video would be great too, the same way we like to...

Zero effort in migrating from other programs, though. Migrating from Aftershot to anything is a huge PITA too. Involves lots of exiftool scripts to merge XMPs to JPG and DNGs. And use of the free...

Yeah . I have had dual monitors for several decades. Triple monitors for one decade. Even Paintshop Pro supports dual monitors, though Aftershot doesn't.

And neither LR nor DXO support my new K-1 II also, so they are a no-buy until that's fixed. Can be corrected with exiftool though, but don't want to bother with that if I have to pay for the software.

Paintshop Pro unfortunately does not do any catalogging.

ON1 does. Speed in ON1 is a major problem. Another is lack of dual monitor support. Yet another is that it's so full of bugs, even the...

BlueBomberTurbo, how would AF work on a Sony with Pentax AF lenses ?

OK. Unfortunately, I don't use ACR. I use Corel Aftershot, which uses ICC profiles for camera profiles, not DCP.

Thanks. Not quite sure what to do with a dcp file . Do you have any icc files ?

Ian, Thanks. I can't tell the difference. Would very much be interested in the new profile, still. Right now, I'm using a copy of the K-1 profile in Aftershot for my K-1 II . I could create a ...

What's missing here is K1-II + DxO case . Of course, Dxo lacks a K-1 II profile and can't open any files from it. Unless you mess with the header with exiftool, which I haven't tried.

It's very likely the lens plays a bigger role in the quality of the image from these 4 cameras than the camera body itself.
