Re: first day review

Ok, seems i may have been to quick's on the draw here. I usually open my files in Preview to quickly look at them and see what i have, which is what i did with my plowing match photos, and my Model A shots etc. In Preview everything looked way under expose. Having just loaded the file into LR ver

Re: first day review

Right PJ. Pentax cameras prior to the K-3II do not support the new electronic AV control and no firmware will be available to allow them to do so. J Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 22, 2016, at 12:17 PM, P.J. Alling wrote: > > I'm pretty sure the K-5 doesn't work

Re: first day review

I'm pretty sure the K-5 doesn't work with the electronic aperture lenses. That would require a firmware upgrade, and the New Richo/Pentax isn't Fuji. On 7/22/2016 8:33 AM, Jack Davis wrote: I'm not aware of the version designation. Check any included info and chase it on the web. I'll take a

Re: first day review

A sluggish aperture would probably cause over exposure, as the lens wouldn't be fully closed down when the shutter opened. I have noticed that the K-5II, (and all earlier models of Pentax DSLR I've owned), grossly underexposed when using the green button on pre A lenses in dim light. Long

Re: first day review

Dave, What mode of metering were you using? (center) spot? matrix? center-weighted? You probably know this, but just in case: If you are using a matrix or even center-weighted, and you have lots of bright sky in the frame, that can lead to underexposure. From your description of the scene, it

first day review

So i used the 55-300 at the plowing demo yesterday. Hot humid and dusty day. The unit itself focused quite nicely, it fits well on the K-5 and my hand zoom barrel stiff but thats fine. Barrel fully extended makes for a bit of a shaky hand held. IQ and sharpness seem decent enough. Only thing and
