Well yes, there are lots of wishes for all these but I can see the logic of what they did once they had a high quality FF: either a standard zoom (28-80mm) or a prime in the standard 50mm ...

Now THAT is something I would be very proud of, Peter!

Very nice! No. 5 took me by surprise so to say.

I used my FA 50mm f/1.7 for almost all of my pictures on my Mz-5n film camera, and I use my FA 35mm for 95% of my pictures on my (APS-C) K-01. So it must be my favorite focal length. If I ever buy ...

Diffraction is like a garden hose that you squeeze. Too much water has to go through a small hole and it diverges, giving a fountain of water at the other end.

Thank you for the thoughtful comments, Carey. May I point to a small issue with the scene images: when I select a different ISO for the K-1 II image, the other ISO's do not change.

... and you can compare the filesize of the JPEGs. Especially if there's a clear pattern, the one with the biggest filesize (most detailed) would be your first candidate.

That could very well be, because the print blurs it. But viewing prints may not be the norm anymore in a few years time.

That is so true, Roland. Especially if you publish for such a wide audience, it should be the first thing before writing far reaching conclusons: make sure that the test is standardized. It's too ...

Only in the UK, and only if you can prove that the defect was there from the start. See you in court!

Hi Klaus, I agree with all you say: in practice most of us do NR at high ISO anyway; this NR on RAW is of high quality; and pixel peeping is different from printing -and even then. But I have ...

"Don't believe everything you read" is an excellent advice. Now that the dust has settled I conclude that (a) there are too many setup differences -the lens, but also various shooting parameters, ...

I'm disappointed. I was convinced that my next camera would be mirrorless but I have my Pentax lenses collection and so there was still some uncertainty. Just two days ago I noticed that the new ...

That's the spirit, Madbrain!

See here: http://silkypix.isl.co.jp/en/release-note/latest/ds8/ So they do support the camera. DNG versus PEF should not matter, as Alex mentions. (Pixel Shift Resolution is supported with some ...

Hi all, background : Silkypix is the engine used in the Pentax raw converter, delivered with every Pentax camera (as far as I know). I have never used it but when I bought my K-01 I got a copy of ...

Especially the reds.

Wenmei Hill made me buy the Lensbaby Velvet 56mm because of the inspiring pictures she made with it. She obviously likes this type of lens and the style of photography it is designed for; she just...

But people will compare the Pentax also with the price of the similar/identical Tokina. I think they can charge 1300 USD if the Tokina is >= 1000 USD.

It seems you can't have it all.
