Sorry, the thread is spinning too fast for me and I had to skip its 2nd half now.
Originally posted by Wheatfield I'm sorry you feel that way, especially in light of you saying in an earlier post that his measurements are "meaningless".
A couple of things, one being that many times I've found his results to be completely flawed in relation to what I know about the equipment in use, and that if he is putting his results out there as an expert witness, his test methods need to be transparent, flawless and above reproach, all of which you yourself say they are not.
Wheatfield, that's a more appropriate tone, thanks.
I commented about Klaus short post in his forum. I agree things could be more transparent on his site. For me, they actually are more transparent because he told me a bit about. I'd say as long as you stick to the photozone dogma to not compare cross platform everything is fine.
A forum post may not make transparent anything though and that's ok.
Originally posted by Class A Falk, Klaus writes "The RAW quality is Okayish - 25% blur - which is significant.", while you write "the measured value is a very good balance between sharpening artefacts and detail." and "26% 'blur' is the mathematically perfect value.".
It, therefore, strikes me that Klaus' comment is not only misleading but simply inappropriate.
We talk about a forum post by Klaus. Not a photozone article or lens test. Come on. He found that the AA filter may be stronger than on his K10D where it actually is very weak. He just likes it thin for high SFR edge figures.
It was ogl who decided to copy his post out of context here and create a thread with it, giving it false exposure. ogl is to be blamed, not Klaus.
Originally posted by ogl My conspiracy theory is that the AA filter strength were increased intentionally to hide shutter induced blur

Another poster ogl choose to copypaste ...
Nobody hides shutter induced blur with me. And Pentax knows me, they wouldn't even try
Also, I don't think the K-5 has a stronger AA filter than K-7. Stronger than K10D or D7000, yes. But not stronger than K-7. I don't
know it yet though because measuring resolution with 0.1 pixel accuracy is not for the faint hearted ... (if you have good Bavarian beer, Klaus could tell you many stories about
)
