Happy with the K-5IIs
Yes, I know there is not so much difference overall, compared to the plain K-5, but the improvements in AF (both its precision with tungsten light and its much extended sensitivity to low light) make a huge difference for me and the kind of pics I shoot. As per the difference between K-5II and K-5IIs, in most cases the sharpness is the same (other factors such as minimal motion blur and subtle difference in focusing being more important than AA filter or not). However, when all winds blow in favor, the difference is more than noticeable. Moiré? After 3,000 shots with the K-5IIs, I spotted it only twice. One was a grid of an air conditioner (lost in the distance on a balcony within a cityscape) and another one was a fabric in a still life I setup on purpose to generate moiré. Not a big problem for me. This I wanted to share before sinking into lurk mode because I am late with deadlines at work.

Re: Happy with the K-5IIs
Glad to hear you are happy with your K-5iis, Dario. Being disappointed in a purchase is never any fun. Found this post over on dpreview forum interesting. This guy went from a Sony NEX-7 to a Nikon D600 to a Pentax K-5ii and he is *now* also very happy. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/post/50892332 Funny, when you find people on this forum feeling they need to move to one of those two very cameras. I think that sometimes we just fall prey to the need for something new and then rationalize the why after the fact. But as long as you have the money and are happy with the decision afterwards, more power to you. I just don't think there can be much argument that the K-5/K-5ii/K-5iis represent Pentax very well at the summit of the best all-things-considered cameras available. That combined with the largest selection of lenses available for any DSLR (when you include all the older Pentax AF mounts, the manual focus K-mount and m42 stuff you can use) still make the choice of a Pentax a no-brainer in my book. Throw in features like the in-body SR and stuff you can't even get on any other system (like the O-GPS1) and Pentax deserves to be the envy of the owners of the other brands, rather than the other way around. I'm very glad that I bet on Pentax when I chose my first DSLR, a K200D, 7 years ago. They've improved their position considerably in that time, although not fast enough for some. I just love using the screwmount lenses (Takumars, Flektogon, etc.) and that reason alone would keep me from ever going to a Nikon. (An adapter with an optical element is necessary to achieve infinity focus, as I'm sure you all know). -- 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.

In this case, however, I had the opportunity to test those cameras (K-5II/K-5IIs) against my K-5, and the difference when focusing in very low light convinced me very easy. At first attempt to shoot performers in very very dim light, I no longer had to struggle with trying to focus while actually hunting, and I could get back thinking about shutter speeds for getting a given effect, compositon and timing for pressing the shutter release. A big step for me and my typical shooting conditions, and some kind of grinning, seeing a D600 user in trouble having to shut off the damn AF illuminator, very banned in that circumstance.

The K-5 doesn't have quite as many as my Nikon P7100, but almost everything is well laid-out and I have no complaints. The one thing I'd wish for is that the 4-way controller be a wheel in addition to a joystick, it really makes going through the P7100 menus faster. OTOH, you mostly shouldn't need to use the menu once you have everything set up, and I love TAv mode. -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6http://rule6.info/ * * * Perhaps God rewards martyrs, but life seldom does... --Ulrika O'Brien -- 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.

Re: Happy with the K-5IIs
From: Darren Addy pixelsmi...@gmail.com Glad to hear you are happy with your K-5iis, Dario. Being disappointed in a purchase is never any fun. Found this post over on dpreview forum interesting. This guy went from a Sony NEX-7 to a Nikon D600 to a Pentax K-5ii and he is *now* also very happy. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/post/50892332 Funny, when you find people on this forum feeling they need to move to one of those two very cameras. I think that sometimes we just fall prey to the need for something new and then rationalize the why after the fact. Keep telling yourself that. Just because you don't see the reason to move or change doesn't mean there aren't valid reasons. Just because this guy went the opposite direction doesn't mean much either, other than that he must not have tried before he buyed (bought). Otherwise why would he have not made the right choice for him first time around? I'm so stupid because I have a NEX-7 and a D800. Next thing you know I'll sell my Subaru's and Toyota and get Smart Cars. But as long as you have the money and are happy with the decision afterwards, more power to you. I just don't think there can be much argument that the K-5/K-5ii/K-5iis represent Pentax very well at the summit of the best all-things-considered cameras available. That combined with the largest selection of lenses available for any DSLR (when you include all the older Pentax AF mounts, the manual focus K-mount and m42 stuff you can use) still make the choice of a Pentax a no-brainer in my book. Throw in features like the in-body SR and stuff you can't even get on any other system (like the O-GPS1) and Pentax deserves to be the envy of the owners of the other brands, rather than the other way around. I'm very glad that I bet on Pentax when I chose my first DSLR, a K200D, 7 years ago. They've improved their position considerably in that time, although not fast enough for some. Yes we all like to justify our purchases, don't we? I just love using the screwmount lenses (Takumars, Flektogon, etc.) and that reason alone would keep me from ever going to a Nikon. (An adapter with an optical element is necessary to achieve infinity focus, as I'm sure you all know). -- 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.

Happy with the K-5
Hi Aahz, I am extremely happy with my K-5 + the DA 18-135 WR bought from Henry's Toronto for CAD 1108 shipped. CAD is almost equal to USD. I find it easier to push the Playback Button with the left thumb while still holding the camera with both hands. Also I have set the display time to 3 sec in the menu instead of the default 1 sec And in case I wish to close the display earlier, I just touch the shutter button. I have set the rear eDial to 8X zoom to see the sharpness of the photo or the eye of a person. I couldn't figure out what you meant by I think I've figured out the best way to do post-shot image review: immediately turn the back wheel to zoom in during review. Please do clarify. Regards.

Re: Happy with the K-5IIs
I've been looking at the D600 off on. It doesn't appear to be the camera for me ... YET. For me, what the D600 really represents is a *MINIMUM* that Pentax has to beat in a full-frame DSLR. As far as the D600's sensor stain problems, if memory serves, the K-5 had problems with stains when it was first introduced there was a lot of dissatisfaction regarding what some perceived as Pentax's lackadaisical response. Seems to me that at this point Nikon's response is no better, no worse. From: Tom Cakalic From: Darren Addy pixelsmi...@gmail.com Glad to hear you are happy with your K-5iis, Dario. Being disappointed in a purchase is never any fun. Found this post over on dpreview forum interesting. This guy went from a Sony NEX-7 to a Nikon D600 to a Pentax K-5ii and he is *now* also very happy. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/post/50892332 Funny, when you find people on this forum feeling they need to move to one of those two very cameras. I think that sometimes we just fall prey to the need for something new and then rationalize the why after the fact. Keep telling yourself that. Just because you don't see the reason to move or change doesn't mean there aren't valid reasons. Just because this guy went the opposite direction doesn't mean much either, other than that he must not have tried before he buyed (bought). Otherwise why would he have not made the right choice for him first time around? I'm so stupid because I have a NEX-7 and a D800.

Re: K-01 now on the official discontinued model page
I have no regrets at all regarding purchase of the K-01. When it first was announced I contemplated getting one and replacing my K-7 with it. The K-7 is just a backup for my K-5, and sees virtually no use. I am beginning to think that the k-01 could fill the backup role *and* provide value by being the go-to camera for macro work. It certianly will be the main camera I use for snow flakes and I am sure it will be outstanding for spring wildflowers. (Yea! No more mud on the face from scrunching my eye to the finder on a camera mounted at ground level!) What remains to be seen for me is if the K-01 will work with insects. I can't wait to test that out, but that will be a few months off. For general shooting, the K-01 seems to be fine, but I have not tried to use it outdoors in the bright sun. I would, however, say that if a DSLR body had live view that supported focus peaking, I would have no need at all for the K-01, though even then the price might tempt. - Mark On 2/20/2013 10:55 AM, Darren Addy wrote: http://www.pentax.jp/english/products/others.html BH still has the bodies in your choice of colors for $299.

Re: PESO: Hidden Waterfall
Yes, there are a number of nice waterfalls on the way to Hana, then even nicer ones in the National Park, that can be reached by walking 30-45 minutes.

Re: Happy with the K-5IIs
Thanks for that summary. It seems clear that the K-5IIs is a step up. While I don't do much AF shooting in low light I do shoot with lots of extension at times, and I assume the that low light focusing would apply to a macro lens with a bunch of tubes on it just as well to a genuine low light scene. The K-5 is a great camera and I amd glad that Pentax Ricoh decided to upgrade it. In a sense they are showing off improved technology that we will see in future cameras and they are also making a statement that they are still in the game. RIght now, I'm holding off on acquiisitions in hope that a FF body comes along. If I were to know that it will be a while I might go for one. Mark On 2/20/2013 3:08 AM, Dario Bonazza wrote: Yes, I know there is not so much difference overall, compared to the plain K-5, but the improvements in AF (both its precision with tungsten light and its much extended sensitivity to low light) make a huge difference for me and the kind of pics I shoot. As per the difference between K-5II and K-5IIs, in most cases the sharpness is the same (other factors such as minimal motion blur and subtle difference in focusing being more important than AA filter or not). However, when all winds blow in favor, the difference is more than noticeable. Moiré? After 3,000 shots with the K-5IIs, I spotted it only twice. One was a grid of an air conditioner (lost in the distance on a balcony within a cityscape) and another one was a fabric in a still life I setup on purpose to generate moiré. Not a big problem for me. This I wanted to share before sinking into lurk mode because I am late with deadlines at work.
