Fun with the Pentax K5

I sold my K5 before I took delivery of the K5lls, but I do have the K-01 which some say has a slightly improved image over the K5. The K5lls shows a significant improvement over that. It is definitely crisper. But the color also seems better to me - better tonal variation. You don't have to pixel peep to see the improvement, you can see it even with 1000px images.
My 18-135 is my favorite zoom. With the waterfall picture in the K-01 thread I did the same shot with my 70mm Ltd and the difference was not obvious to me. The new sensor improves all the lenses. I am not surprised because as I have mentioned before, the Ricoh sensors that have no AA are also really good, both 12Mp and 16Mp.
I took my first pics in sunshine today with the K5lls, so I am making my way through them - I'll post a few more if they deserve it

Got a break from the clouds today so I finally got a chance to get out with my K-5 IIs in decent light (even though it was mid-day ). It's hard to tell with web-sized photos but the level of detail in these is fantastic.
All with K-5 IIs and Zeiss 25mm Distagon ZK.

+1 what Keith said :thumbs:
One thing though, it's allowed to post 1200 px max per side, Neil.
All the best.

Mmm, now let me see: if you say mine are let down by the AA filter and you have been doing this as well and yours, apparently, are not let down, then that leads me to this conclusion: you already got the K5IIs !
Congratulations and some proof please ... :lecture:
Thank you and all the best.

Well, there was me, I was just going to press the BUY button at warehouse express, and LO - they are out of stockMmm, now let me see: if you say mine are let down by the AA filter and you have been doing this as well and yours, apparently, are not let down, then that leads me to this conclusion: you already got the K5IIs !

Thank you and all the best.
However I'm not quite sure how you construed that mine were not let down by an AA filter (and anyway, I might have been using my M9 mightn't I?
When one or both of you two summon the nerve to buy this thing, I suggest you start another thread for it. I haven't felt up to it since I became the lonely poster over in the K-01 thread

I keep coming back to this one - it is stunning :salute:some moody autumn shots

It's okay Keith, but it would be so much better without an AA filter (don't you think?):deadhorse:

I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on the K-01. I thought it was a really brave move, and when I saw one in the wild I thought it looked lovely.When one or both of you two summon the nerve to buy this thing, I suggest you start another thread for it.

. . . . and on a more serious note, I know I need a dSLR equivalent to go along with my Leica - I already have the OMD, but I'm dithering between keeping it, buying the K5 IIs . . and selling out and buying an A99.

you poor lonely K-01 owner, didn't you know you should always wait for Jono ?
He's the pathfinder, so to speak, or better still the forum's Cavia Porcellus..
:ROTFL:
OTOH you're a fortunate man having a thread all to yourself :grin:
All the best.

Well a little better then perhaps, but I'm patient and will wait for a silver body ... :angel:It's okay Keith, but it would be so much better without an AA filter (don't you think?):deadhorse:

I'd say buy the A99, you know you want to ...
Besides, you still own 1 or 2 fine A-lenses and you're a Sony-man anyway :grin:
All the best.
