And these were taken on my Tamron - 28-75
Both shot at:
F3.2
SS 1/160
with 1 off-camera flash.
ISO for this one was 400. (SOOC {shot as RAW, exported as JPEG} and the edited version).
Was aiming for a 'moody' image. Slightly underexposed though. Edited version appears to have more noise, I didn't do any noise reduction during editing though.
Iso for this one was 800. (SOOC {shot as RAW, exported as JPEG} and the edited version.)
Again underexposed. I know I can do better given opportunities to correctly pose and light sufficiently, but for some wedding receptions and indoor events I can't always use my off-camera flash. And slowing my SS, opening my aperture and bumping up my ISO usually results in either blurred images (from SS being too low), out of focus (from wide aperture and movement) and lots of noise/lack of detail (from high ISO.)

Another question, how exactly does exposure compensation work if you're shooting in M? I didn't think you could set exposure compensation if you are shooting in M.
I'd always thought it was better to shoot at a lower ISO and brighten in editing rather than correctly expose (by raising your ISO only) and risk getting noisy images.
But then I see photos like Brooke's with settings like:
ISO3200
f4
1/320
shot with the K5
and they look beautifully sharp and smooth, so I know it must be possible

It looks like the K-5II also has the upgraded AF.
OK, thanks.

One last comparison...
This photo was taken in the EXACT same spot as the 1st file I shared.
Both taken on my Tamron 70-200mm
Both shot at:
F2.8
1/160
This was at 4:58pm in Spring with an ISO of 200.
This one was taken at 4:20pm in Winter with an ISO of 800.
The only difference was seasons (I know winter is darker, so I bumped up my ISO) but given I'd photographed here before without need of flash, I thought I could just bump up my ISO and produce similar results.
Also I did get the older girl to tilt her head up to get better lighting in some of the other photos.
