Tess prefers the D-FA 28-105 to her Tamron 17-50 or DA 16-85 for straight up image quality on her K-5iis. It's a pain because she has 2 walk around lenses for her K-5, but for my K-1 I have only the 28-105, and she always wants to take mine.
Life is complicated. You find a great lens, your wife wants it. |

Exactly. No need for salt water for the PCB to look like that.

Very interesting your comparison of the K3 and KP. I shall probably keep my K5 but doubt I'll use it much. My pocket (almost) camera is a Panasonic LX100 but I have a Nokia 1020, its 41 megapixels takes a decent photo, and that's always in my pocket when I'm out.

Looks like it is working pretty well with the new version. This is two test images I did last night. One is DNG and the other PEF. I copied each file and changed the EXIF to K-70 on one of each.

As K-70 PEF ---------- Post added 03-27-18 at 06:34 PM ---------- Getting back to the original high contrast image of mine, the new V.2 profile looks identical to how ASP processes the files as a K-70. I believe that to get that any better, we are going to have to wait for Corel to get around to making an official profile. I wonder if it has anything to do with the accelerator chip? While we wait though, this has made everything a lot easier for me! Thank you for making it for us!!!

It's easy to reproduce -- just put it in continuous shooting mode and hold down the button for a while and then turn the dial when something is on the screen. Then you either get a changed aperture or not. I discovered it while shooting a show -- it happened several times, and eventually I figured out what happened, though it took me a while to notice it since I wasn't necessarily looking at the screen for all the photos.

I started the thread, and I mentioned that I had the K3, which I'm very happy with! I read a bit of complaining about the pentax AF system in general. So, I was curious if there was really anything to it? Simple as that!!

I know one fix in the firmware update.
With the original firmware, shooting in manual mode while using the buffer heavily (i.e. you were shooting faster than it could write to the card), and attempting to change the aperture (or shutter speed?) using the rear dial while an instant review image was showing on the screen resulted in none of the expected behavior. It did not adjust the aperture, nor did it zoom the instant review image, but instead it totally locked up any ability to adjust the shutter speed or aperture until the buffer had completed writing all the images. This is now fixed, based on my testing.

Having been a software developer for 35+ years, a beta tester for Microsoft for 10 years and 25 years as a beta tester for the database platform I code on I can tell you the "fix/updates list" that the end-user sees is just the tip of the iceberg. The majority of changes as Adam says is trivia - significant in its right but only of interest to the developers.
Would you even care if labels or a subroutine were renamed to improve readability and maintenance of the code but such changes are totally hidden from the end user?

I appreciate your tact. No, I'm sure I'm not doing anything wrong. I have tens of thousands of shots with the K5 and K3 that don't do anything like this.
I will do more testing with SR off and on and report back if there are any interesting findings. I am now leaning to there being a camera problem rather than lens. ---------- Post added 26-07-16 at 08:55 AM ---------- By the way, is there a way to see in Lightroom whether a particular shot had SR on or off? It's in EXIF, but the EXIF that LR displays is a tiny subset of the whole. It would be useful to know when trying to track down SR-related problems. (Of course I can do it with exiftool, but that's rather inconvenient.)
