Hi All,
I have seen some wonderful examples taken with the new Pentax k5 and so I decided to get a test unit and some lens. I was mainly shooting Nikon D3's and wanted to find a small body and a set of small primes.
I do have a little soft spot for Pentax and have tried the K7 but just found too many aspects that in my opinion were not ready for professional use.
So I have the k5 and 35 2.4, 70 ltd and 100mm WR. What I have found is a real mix bag of AF performance, as in just the focus area not where I aimed! I have tried looking at the images to see if it is front or back focus, I have also tired to do some micro adjustments per lens. The end result is that a large % of images are not not in focus. Also the write speed for RAW is pretty slow.
Can anyone advise the best setup or if this is the nature of the beast? I am using the single AF point in Aperture mode in single shot mode.
Regards
