Re: Pentax M-E Mirrorless?

Want to bet that retro design like the MX-1 means the same thing as no 
built in view finder electronic or otherwise and no provision for one 
either.

Re: K-1 Autofocus

2017-01-14 Thread James King
jtainter wrote on Sun, 08 Jan 2017 17:22:24 -0800

 "Question: How is the K-1 autofocus, as compared to say, a K-5?"

 Thanks to Hoya, the K-5 had quite poor autofocus, especially in low light. 
On 
 the other hand, the K-5II and IIs (I have both) have excellent AF.

 I have used my K-1 only a little so far, but my impression is that it 
hunts 
 more than my K-5II and IIs cameras, and has more trouble finding focus in 
low 
 light. That is not to say that the K-1 AF is bad, just that it seems a 
step 
 backward from the excellent AF of the K-5II series cameras. I never used a 
K-3.

 If you are using a K-5, you will be pleased with the K-1 AF.
 
 On all my cameras, I use only central point autofocus.

Joe, my brief experience (2 weeks) with the K-1 and DFA 28-105 suggests that 
its autofocus is better than my previous bodies, but I use the nine point AF 
array.  Have you tried it?

Regards, Jim

PESO: cake

2017-01-14 Thread Philip Northeast

A birthday cake for a 3 year old fan of Thomas the Tank engine stories.

Pentax K1 and Sigma 35mm f1.4 art lens.

The Autofocus system got a work out with fast moving kids at close 
range.  I had the AF focus pattern set to normal auto, that is using all 
the sensors. In combination with depth of field not all the shots were 
focused as I would have liked. Principally two cousins riding their 
bikes close to the camera, I only seemed to get the central one in focus.
