Some Bits and Pieces (November 27)

DC Watch has done a new ISO and NR test on the K-5, with a DA 18-135 on it, further to their last first review and test. As usual, full size samples are available. But for easier viewing and comparison, they post the crops at their test page.

Next, the AF and QC issues of the K-5 continue, I have been keeping an eye on this thread since it was first opened:-

Now, there is something special along the thread, just see this recent comment as made by my regular Blog reader Walter:-

"Uh, the problem with the red rendering seems to be minor compared to the AF problem that is rearing its ugly head over on DPR. Some long-time Pentax defenders - e.g. RPulley - are either considering sending their cameras back. One poor soul replaced his original K%, but soon found out the replacement is a dud, too!"

Finally, the last piece of news is that Hasselblad has followed the trend of Pentax for going fashion (although not toyish like what Pentax is also doing), they now make a Silver and then another Ferrari Red Digital MF!

Have there ever been any intelligent, positive comments about the K-5 on DPR? do you just skip those Rice, and pretend that you know better? Or do you just pretend they don't exist at all?

Why doesn't your regular reader "Walter" post under his real name of Tom Lusk? After all he is happy to troll around DPR under that name. I just don't understand why he won't use it here!

I think you should include that you are banned from DPR in your posting. That way others know why you are so upset.

"...Hasselblad has followed the trend of Pentax..."
Probably not entirely true, but there is some truth in this statement: Pentax does things differently, therefore they are capable of setting trends. And that is what I like about the company and the brand Pentax: their independent thinking, which turns out to be closer to this consumer's needs than the big incumbents.
