Re: K-1 review rehash

Stan -

Using the K-3, I shoot RAW+JPG.  I keep an Eye-Fi card in slot 2.  The 
card in slot 1 gets the raw files and the Eye-Fi in slot 2 gets the 
smallest JPGs the camera will generate.  The JPGs transfer fairly 
quickly to my iPad for initial review when I'm not near a computer.  The 
JPG quality is good enough for a quick social media post or to quickly 
send off in an email.

Re: k-1 review lenses and other gear

2017-03-15 Thread Mark C
Interesting summation of your experiences with lenses on the K-1. Thanks 
for posting this and your other K-1 reviews.


I'm using the same zoom setup that you are using - 28-105 Tamron 28-75. 
My first impressions are that the lenses both are excellent. Maybe I got 
lucky with my sample of the Tamron, but if I had to choose between the 
two I'd probably pick it. It seems to be a little sharper than the 
28-105 and of course infinity better at f2.8 (and other apertures) that 
the 28-105 does not support. Both lenses outperform the APS-C zooms that 
I was using (DFA 18-55, 16-45 and 17-70) and none of those lenses were 
bad at all.


After a couple weeks I can say that the DFA 50 and 100 macros seem to be 
outstanding, as well as the A*200 macro and fa50 f1.7. My Sigma 70-200 
f2.8 is very good but a bit short of excellent. I need to test the FA 
20-35 some more - seems to be very good at 35mm but not as strong at 20.

lens selection and reviews:

At the moment, most of the lenses I can’t afford on my wish list are 
made by sigma. If sigma were weather resistant and sold their entire 
line for K-mount Ricoh might sell a lot more bodies and fewer lenses.


28-105
I picked up the 28-105 so that I'd have a weather sealed standard 
range zoom for use outdoors. Years ago I got a lens in this range and 
it pretty much covered all of my needs at the time. It seems to be 
reasonably sharp.


When much of my photography is in challenging light, I end up using 
primes or my 28-75 far more often. Due to lack of space, while we have 
nice weather, I've taken it out of my camera bag.


In not as nice weather it is my daily driver outdoors lens.

Tamron 28-75/2.8
This is my moderate light daily driver. Not weather sealed or as sharp 
as the 28-105, not as much range, but a lot faster.  If I had the 
money for the 24-70 I’d probably have one.


15-30
The 15-30 is a nice lens, but it is huge.

DA 35/2.8 macro
This lens nearly works as a FF lens, there is some slight vignetting 
in some circumstances which can be alleviated with a slight crop.


DFA 50/2.8 macro
I expect that I would use this lens a lot for a single walk around the 
woods prime.


DFA 100/2.8 WR macro
Very sharp, very nice, bought one to supplant Tamron 90/2.8 macro 
because a lot of my macro work is outdoors where it can be wet.


FA 50/1.4
In many ways this lens works very well. It is much better on FF than 
on APS. However, it seems to show a bit of weakness in the coatings.


DA 55/1.4
This lens needs a sunshade that is meant for FF use. It seems to 
impinge on the corners of the image.


Rokinon 24/1.4
I wish this lens had autofocus, or at least that the live view worked 
better. It’s a great lens, particularly for astrolandscape photography.


18-250
While this lens is great on APS, it has an internal shade that makes 
it always crop to the APS sensor.


55-300
This lens works well at the wide end and at the long end, but crops in 
the middle.


50-500
My old sigma 50-500 is still reasonably sharp on the k-1, and still 
has nervous bokeh. It also lacks weather sealing.


FA 80-200/2.8

31/1.8 ltd


77/1.8 ltd


Sigma 20/1.8
Much more interesting on FF than it was on APS. Since getting the 
Rokinon 24/1.4 as a fast wide lens, I wasn’t using it as often and 
loaned it to a friend.


Lens wish list:

Camera bag:
My fastpak 350 is nearly the perfect bag for my APS kit, but doesn't 
seem to work so well for full frame.  I have not yet figured out what 
my standard kit is, or how I want to carry it.


Flash:
My Metz 58 flash stopped working properly with the K-1 until I 
upgraded the firmware.

My current F 70-210mm is more Varifocal than the previous.

2017-03-15 Thread P. J. Alling
That says it all.  Either there was a focusing problem with all my 
previous Pentax DSLRs or the sample variation in this one particular 
lens is huge and bizarre.


I never noticed a large difference in focus at 70mm and at 210mm on the 
two previous versions of this lens that I've owned, (there was a very 
slight change with the second one I owned), but this one is quite 
noticeably out of focus, if focus is set at 210 and the lens is then 
zoomed to 70mm, without refocusing.


Testing it I find a small but magnificent focus correction if I auto 
focus both before and after a zooming operation.  It's kind of annoying 
that it's not as able to hold true focus through a zoom as the Sigma 
Zoom 70-210mm f4.0~5.6 UC-II.

What I miss in the K-1

2017-03-15 Thread Dario Bonazza

1) A buffer size that is appropriate for K-1 files
2) A writing speed that is appropriate for K-1 files
3) A way to see the live view image in low light with rather high speed and 
stopped down aperture (e.g. a dark studio environment when shooting with 
flash units at say 1/200 F8). Just amplify that signal as you used to do in 
the K-3, instead of simulating an underexposure that won't happen!
4) A useful and comprehensive top LCD panel, just like the one on the K-3 
(that's more useful to me than the multi-dial thing)

5) Dust Alert image. Where has it gone?

All those features were present in the K-3 and lost in the K-1. Why?

find the K-3 interface better conceived, straight and effective.
However, the best one is the K-5 series, where all controls are direct

all, why swapping the Play and LV buttons over previous models in the
K-1? Whichever of the two (either LV or Play) you press by accident when
looking through the viewfinder, you get the screen on in your face. Is
Play any better than LV in that event? I don't think so.


Actually, play/review is much better because all you need to do is 
lightly tap the shutter and it goes away. As I mention elsewhere, I 
don't trust the Pentax metering and frequently chimp the histogram.

k-1 review lenses and other gear

2017-03-15 Thread Larry Colen

lens selection and reviews:

At the moment, most of the lenses I can’t afford on my wish list are 
made by sigma. If sigma were weather resistant and sold their entire 
line for K-mount Ricoh might sell a lot more bodies and fewer lenses.


28-105
I picked up the 28-105 so that I'd have a weather sealed standard range 
zoom for use outdoors. Years ago I got a lens in this range and it 
pretty much covered all of my needs at the time. It seems to be 
reasonably sharp.


When much of my photography is in challenging light, I end up using 
primes or my 28-75 far more often. Due to lack of space, while we have 
nice weather, I've taken it out of my camera bag.


In not as nice weather it is my daily driver outdoors lens.

Tamron 28-75/2.8
This is my moderate light daily driver. Not weather sealed or as sharp 
as the 28-105, not as much range, but a lot faster.  If I had the money 
for the 24-70 I’d probably have one.


15-30
The 15-30 is a nice lens, but it is huge.

DA 35/2.8 macro
This lens nearly works as a FF lens, there is some slight vignetting in 
some circumstances which can be alleviated with a slight crop.


DFA 50/2.8 macro
I expect that I would use this lens a lot for a single walk around the 
woods prime.


DFA 100/2.8 WR macro
Very sharp, very nice, bought one to supplant Tamron 90/2.8 macro 
because a lot of my macro work is outdoors where it can be wet.


FA 50/1.4
In many ways this lens works very well. It is much better on FF than on 
APS. However, it seems to show a bit of weakness in the coatings.


DA 55/1.4
This lens needs a sunshade that is meant for FF use. It seems to impinge 
on the corners of the image.


Rokinon 24/1.4
I wish this lens had autofocus, or at least that the live view worked 
better. It’s a great lens, particularly for astrolandscape photography.


18-250
While this lens is great on APS, it has an internal shade that makes it 
always crop to the APS sensor.


55-300
This lens works well at the wide end and at the long end, but crops in 
the middle.


50-500
My old sigma 50-500 is still reasonably sharp on the k-1, and still has 
nervous bokeh. It also lacks weather sealing.


FA 80-200/2.8

31/1.8 ltd


77/1.8 ltd


Sigma 20/1.8
Much more interesting on FF than it was on APS. Since getting the 
Rokinon 24/1.4 as a fast wide lens, I wasn’t using it as often and 
loaned it to a friend.


Lens wish list:

Camera bag:
My fastpak 350 is nearly the perfect bag for my APS kit, but doesn't 
seem to work so well for full frame.  I have not yet figured out what my 
standard kit is, or how I want to carry it.


Flash:
My Metz 58 flash stopped working properly with the K-1 until I upgraded 
the firmware.

k-1 review notes and questions

2017-03-15 Thread Larry Colen

K-1 review revisited  14 March 2017

Nutshell review:
While the K-1 has some nice additions and features over the K-3 II, if 
it wasn't for the full frame sensor angle of view and performance, I'd 
be a bit disappointed by it. Then again, that is like saying that if a 
Ferrari didn't have a V-12 engine and performance, I'd be a bit 
disappointed by it.


The raw performance of the K-1 is very impressive but it takes a fair 
amount of knowledge and skill to make full use of that performance. My 
feeling, however, is that while the K-1 seems to require taking a lot of 
control to get the best performance out of it, the UI feels like it is 
optimized for people who shoot directly in JPEG in full automatic mode.


Some points will crop up in more than one place in the more detailed 
comments below, that is because some issues will affect more than one 
aspect of camera use.


Notes:

They have expanded EV compensation and bracketing range, can bracket up 
to ± 5 ev in some situations


Features that I'd like to see:
I'd like arca swiss mount ridges as part of body, with removable caps. 
This way, rather than having to buy tripod mounting plates, they would 
already be there, and would be much more secure than if they were 
screwed on.


I’d like them to replace the monochrome LCD on top of the body with a 
color display even if only vga resolution.


I’d like to be able to choose between different auto exposure 
algorithms. I’d like an expose to the right mode that optimizes exposure 
for not blowing out highlights.


Finding the celestial object you want to photograph in astrotracer can 
be a challenge. If I could reliably mount my cell phone to my camera 
pointing parallel to the lens axis, google sky map would be a big aiming 
aid. Even better yet, would be if they incorporated it into the camera’s 
software, and showed the google sky map image on the rear screen, even 
better yet would be if they could combine it with live view.


I’d like to be able to transmit the preview image via wi-fi to a 
computer or tablet to facilitate real time reviewing of the image. 
Currently, in theory, I think this can be done by shooting raw on one 
card, jpeg on another, and transmitting the jpeg data over wifi. I don’t 
want to play games, I want RAW images to go to the card and would like 
to simply transmit previews (or jpegs) over wifi.


I’d like to see an off camera flash that uses the same battery dli-90 
battery format.


I’d like to be able to use wifi to control external flashes, as long as 
it’s in the camera anyways. I’d like that control format to be a 
published standard.



Questions:

Does high iso noise reduction work on raw or just jpeg?

What does ISO auto options actually mean?  With numbers?

In additive multi-exposure, is there a noise advantage of doing multiple 
short exposures versus one long one?  Doing two 30 second exposures 
wouldn't trigger darkfield image like a 30 second exposure.



Tethering in lightroom, via USB does actually store the files on the SD 
card.


Lousy options for the fx1 button

Why do they waste a four way button on jpeg processing nonsense?

I need to figure out what user modes to set and use

What is this multiple white balance? Does it work with RAW? Difficulty  
with selecting focus point in live view, it may be set to face 
recognition, couldn't find the menu to change it.

k-1 review performance

2017-03-15 Thread Larry Colen

Sensor:
The sensor is pretty much the point of the K-1. The 24x36mm “full frame” 
sensor restores the full angle of view to legacy Pentax glass. Since the 
APS lens lineup is rather thin in fast standard and wide lenses, this 
can be a big thing for low light photography. Even on a per-pixel basis 
the sensor out performs the K-3 and K-5 sensors, so on that basis it’s a 
better APS camera either of the other two. I don’t know how it compares 
in APS mode with the newer APS bodies (K-P and K70).
At 36 MP its pixel pitch is a bit larger than the 24 MP APS sensors, 
giving up a little bit of reach when cropping telephoto shots, however 
at 50MB per frame in raw, the same pixel pitch would give 48MP frames 
using up 75MB per shot.


iso invariance:
One of the major characteristics of the K-1 sensor is that it is 
ISO-invariant, which means that modulo clipping you will get nearly the 
same result if you shoot at a high ISO as if you shoot at a low ISO and 
brighten the image in post processing.
So, why not just shoot at ISO 100 all of the time? That would pretty 
much make sure that you never clip your highlights.  For one, it makes 
it nearly impossible to review the photo you took to check for problems. 
 Another issue is that Lightroom has very limited range for correction, 
only about five stops.
I also expect that if post processing did allow more correction the 
delta between theory and practice on ISO invariance would show up as 
noise, and possibly posterization in the shadows



It would be nice to be able to underexpose raw, but compensate on 
previews... photographing musicians with colored backlights


Bracketing ISO effectively does nothing.  While I prefer shooting Tav 
mode, in Tav it only brackets ISO, it would be nice to set the bracketed 
variable separately from the exposure mode.



Wide and standard full frame lenses work so much better:
My FA 31ltd and FA50/1.4 are great lenses, but they never really 
inspired me on APS. On full frame however, I really quite enjoy using 
them. I always had mixed feelings about my Sigma 20/1.7. Sometimes I 
hated it, but only used it because it was the only fast lens I had in 
that angle of view, but sometimes it really worked quite well. On full 
frame it really became quite an interesting lens, although once I picked 
up the Rokinon 24/1.4 I’ve rarely used it.



focus points:

They have increased the number of focus points to 33, which is a big 
improvement. the narrower angle that each one operates at seems to also 
help prevent the camera from focusing on the wrong thing. However, they 
do not cover nearly enough of the frame. When photographing people, I 
often want to compose the shot with the person's eye well out of the 
area with all of the focus points. This means I cannot autofocus on the 
face and eyes if the person is moving around.


The K-1 is a lot better at focusing on a musician rather than the 
microphone in front of them, quite likely because of the smaller active 
area of each focus point. By the same token, if I’m not careful to make 
sure the focus point is on the person I’m photographing, it can do an 
excellent job of focusing on the wall behind them.  I should experiment 
more with the select-9 autofocus mode.


Selecting focus points is not as graceful as I would like. I have heard 
that on other systems, the UI for focus point selection works better.


When using manual focus, the in-focus indicator is very helpful at 
focusing the lens. It works great, but for some reason, it is limited to 
the center focus point. There is no reason to do this, and it makes 
manual focus lenses less usable for anything but landscape work, and 
even then there are problems with focus and recompose.  Since there is a 
very limited selection of full frame lenses available right now, and 
many, if not most, of the people in a rush to buy the K-1 right away 
have a large selection of legacy manual focus glass, Ricoh should drop 
this restriction in the next firmware update.


One can get some reprieve from the focus restrictions by using live 
view, but it is so slow to take a photo in live view, even with the 
focus locked, that it is unusable for any sort of dynamic scene. This 
has been alleviated somewhat with the firmware update that implemented 
electronic shutter.


Auto focus speed and accuracy:
When the autofocus works, it seems to work pretty well. Not nearly as 
well as Nikon.  Sometimes though it just won't lock focus. This might be 
due to the narrower range that each focus point uses now.  I should 
probably experiment more with the "auto 9" autofocus mode.


In order to photograph action, I pretty much have to prefocus and lock 
out autofocus with the AF button.


Bus speed
The K-1 biggest shortcoming seems to be its bus speed. Saving files to 
the SD card takes far too long, and using fast SD cards doesn’t make a 
difference. I think I’ve seen that after about 40 Mbps, there is no 
advantage.


buffer size
The buffer size is woeful

Re: K-1 review rehash

2017-03-15 Thread Stanley Halpin
Speaking of SR, all previous Pentax D-SLRs AFIK, including the 645Z, would 
automatically turn OFF the SR if you  were in one of three shooting modes: 
Self-timer, Remote control, or Mirror Lock-up. Makes sense, in any of these 
modes you would be shooting from a tripod and everyone says to pretty much 
always turn SR off when on a tripod.

However, there were those rare occasions when I might want to have SR on even 
though I was using a tripod and Remote.
On the K-1, thank you Pentax!, there is an option to bypass the default auto 
shut-off of the SR.

Speaking of the top dial, I miss the large top display which I was used to 
checking when adjusting settings while the camera was on a tripod. I keep 
telling myself that there must be a valid use for that dial but haven’t yet 
found a way to incorporate it into my “style” of shooting. Mostly I have it on 
+/- and then use the dedicated +/- button anyway for adjusting exposure comp.
I have had no issues with inadvertent changes in the top dial setting nor with 
the Movie switch.

I have mentioned before that I occasionally unknowingly hit the edge of the 
4-way control with the heel of my hand, just the way I grip the camera. I 
recently went back and dug into the functionality of the  Lock button. It 
solves my problem! I had avoided it, thinking that too many controls would be 
locked and that I would be frustrated with the need to futz around every time I 
wanted to adjust a control. It turns out that it is well designed, relatively 
limited scope.

The strange decision to switch the location of the LV and Image Review buttons 
took a long time to get over, but I am finally at the point where I most often 
hit the right button. It validates my decision to sell all earlier-generation 
Pentax D-SLRs - I don’t think I could cope with using two bodies with 
mirror-image controls for these two functions.

Some time ago I found that I could use my Apple watch as a remote control with 
the cameras on my iPhone. I used that once or twice. I decided I preferred 
hands on. I have not explored wifi etc with the K-1, partly because I can’t 
imagine why I would care, and partly because I assume that the bandwidth/speed 
would be too low to be useful. I could change my mind if I heard someone’s 
story of how they have used it to good purpose...

Looking forward to your eight-months later thoughts Larry...

It's interesting to see how my perception of certain features has 
changed in the intervening time.  When I first got it, I thought the 
third control dial was really awesome, but now I rarely use it.


A dedicated ISO dial would have been nice, if all the controls were 
pretty much dedicated.  Unfortunately, Ricoh went for looks and 
flexibility, so it's a do lots o' things dial, which a lot of which most 
photographers probably don't do that often.




It's also interesting to be reminded of all the features that I 
thought would be great that turned out to be useless duds, like wifi 
and tethering.




Part of the problem with tethering is that it's useful in a studio, but 
then you might as well use a wire, you're better off at any reasonable 
frame rate, as wireless just doesn't have the bandwidth to handle big 
image files.  WiFi is great for sharing low res images.


Another issue is that from every review I've read of every camera that 
offers WiFi, camera makers just don't do WiFi applications very well.


You might use WiFi more if the connecting apps were better or the images 
lower resolution, but why then are you shooting with a high res DSLR and 
not your phone?

I'd be interested in seeing your review.

I can't say that I use the new dial much bu it doesn't seem to cause me 
any issues. The only interface change that has been driving me crazy is 
the switching of the LV and Play Back buttons, compared to the K3 and 
other prior models. I am always turning on LV when when I wan to check 
recent shots.

Re: K-1 review rehash

2017-03-15 Thread Dario Bonazza
Never used that new double-dial thing, intended for features I never use 
(except ISO, which already has its own button) . That said, I find that dial 
more annoying than useful, being often turned by accident when taking the 
camera out of the holster bag. The same happens with the photo/video lever, 
often turned unintentionally from photo to video. I find the K-3 interface 
better conceived, straight and effective. However, the best one is the K-5 
series, where all controls are direct and you can access them by touch with 
you eye at the viewfinder. Most of all, why swapping the Play and LV buttons 
over previous models in the K-1? Whichever of the two (either LV or Play) 
you press by accident when looking through the viewfinder, you get the 
screen on in your face. Is Play any better than LV in that event? I don't 
think so.

Cheers,
Dario

Subject: K-1 review rehash

Eight months after I started it, I sat down to try and finish up my K-1
review.  I thought I sent it to the list, but it seems that the email
monster ate it.  If it never does show up, and people are interested,
I'll give it another try, I'd certainly like to get some other
viewpoints on some of the things I've noticed, or possibly answers to
some of the questions still hanging.

It's interesting to see how my perception of certain features has
changed in the intervening time.  When I first got it, I thought the
third control dial was really awesome, but now I rarely use it.

It's also interesting to be reminded of all the features that I thought
would be great that turned out to be useless duds, like wifi and tethering.

I found what the hangup was, I just got a note that it is awaiting 
moderator approval because of the size.


Hmm that means that people won't be able to reply without trimming.
Maybe I should edit it into several smaller documents.

Eight months after I started it, I sat down to try and finish up my K-1 
review.  I thought I sent it to the list, but it seems that the email 
monster ate it.  If it never does show up, and people are interested,

It's interesting to see how my perception of certain features has 
changed in the intervening time.  When I first got it, I thought the

It's also interesting to be reminded of all the features that I thought
