[myK-01] Focus Peaking MF Test Shots

[jester]

Rained twice in the afternoon and late afternoon, the lighting condition is bad, but it didn't stop me from doing some test using manual focusing with focus peaking assist. I must say, initially it is not as easy especially when shooting at wide open aperture. In this case, I was using the DA70.

Here's the test results:

f/2.8, 1/125, ISO400

IMGP9359.jpg
f/8.0, 1/60, ISO3200

IMGP9368.jpg
f/2.8, 1/125, ISO500

IMGP9370.jpg
f/2.4, 1/125, ISO800

IMGP9378.jpg
f/3.5, 1/125, ISO1250

The colors are unretouched, just exposure adjustments and sharpening. I just love the Pentax colors...

Focus peaking is a great tool for manual focusing. Coupled with Shake Reduction (Mode 2, with live preview), it makes manual focusing a breeze once you get used to it. Suddenly all the M42/PK manual lenses become very attractive again.

So the K01 does have SR as well, nice to know. Now it's really tempting to switch from a K-x to it. Hm.. Tempting tempting
