Re: Why would you buy a Pentax FF camera?
I think I'd actually be more inclined to buy a Pentax FF DSLR if it were 24mp than 36mp. Especially if Pentax worked the same magic with that sensor that they have with the 16mp sensor in the K-5. A 300 dpi, image would be 13 1/3 x 20 in size if you printed the full frame. Assuming a high definition screen of 100ppi, (yes I'm sure there are higher resolutions but the math is easy), a 24mp image will create a 40 x 60 image for display. The Diagonal on that is roughly 72 How many even commercial and scientific venues have larger displays? I'm not going to say who needs it, someone might, probably does, but I'm pretty sure I don't. What I am more interested in is greater color depth and exposure latitude. I'm still using a K20D, (hey times are tough and I can't justify, even to myself, replacing what is a to me a four year old camera that still does it's job), and lower noise. The larger sensor with larger photo-sites would make those goals much easier to achieve. On 2/7/2013 7:48 PM, Mark C wrote: I'd probably buy a FF body just because I've been itching to buy a new Pentax DSLR for a while now But the rationale really depends on the specifications of a new FF DSLR. *IF* the sensor resolution / pixel size was comparable to the K-5 and the image image quality was just as good, then a FF Pentax DSLR would be an automatic for me. I could have the advantages of a full frame DSLR when I needed them and crop down to APS size and still get something as good as the top APS C DSLR. Of course, that would call for a sensor in the 36 megapixel size. If the sensor resolution was lower - like a 24 mp FF DSLzR it would be harder to rationalize. Since I do a lot of macro and telephoto work, the crop factor of the APS sensor comes in handy. For that kind of work it is better to use a smaller / higher resolution sensor than a larger / lower reoslution sensor. I would probably still get the FF camera just to use lenses that I like and don't have in the APS format - like fast normals (less than f 2.0) and the FA 20-35mm f4. But I am sure that some of my old FF lenses will not but up to snuff on a digital gear. So - 1. A 36 megapixel FF I'd buy ASAP. It owuld replae my K-5 for virtually all shooting since I could crop down to K-5 image sizes with the same resolution. 2. A 24 megapixel FF I'd probably buy, but I'd alternate between the K-5 and the the FF and probably do a lot of work with the K-5 still. (Maybe this path would get me to buy a K-5IIS also.) 3. If Pentax came out with both a 24 megapixel FF and a 24 megapixel APS body I'd provably buy the APS body. Maybe come back for the FF later.

No, I'm saying that the focusing screen was unusable for manual focusing when the camera was not powered up. No matter how you turned the focusing ring the viewfinder seemed dark and unfocused. Once power was turned on the viewfinder brightened and manual focus was possible... Well mostly, the finder was bright and /everything/ looked to be in focus, what was in or out of focus was very subtle, to put it diplomatically.

Lisa's not on call but we want to be prepared in case whoever *is* on call can't get in to the hospital. Of course, we're only 2 miles away so it would probably be quicker for her to walk - we just bought showshoes for a hiking trip in two weeks so we're really prepared! It's really coming down thick now. -- Mark Roberts - Photography Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

A little later someone from HR shows up in my cube with a $25 card for the cafeteria. The woman from HR, once again, thanks me for being so cooperative. I, once again, point out that it's very easy to be cooperative when six people are pointing guns at you. So, in a nut*shell* your local PD tends to err on the safe side... The question is - do they ever err on the unsafe side???
