Customer Review

I can only give three stars of VAT with Pentax K-5 II. 18-135mm WR Kit with the best will.

On the positive side once the feel, the case is very well made and makes a high quality impression!
Likewise, the manual controls are almost no limits. The menu system is easy to use after a short and very clear.
Thus, the controls are arranged all on one side you can let your left hand on the lens, the rights to the handle and the thumb does the job!
The Live View button is unfortunately too easy so the light will change when you adjust the AF field time in the Live View mode.
Autofocus is fast and performs very well even in the continuous shooting with.
The weakening of the autofocus will be bright areas because it requires before two three tries.
The main switch may be a little grip and be coordinated more precise the trigger between focus and trigger point, but that is probably a matter of taste or habituation.
The selector switch for AF.S, AF.C, MF locked in the positions not correctly, yielding remains sometimes hang between positions.
What a beginning drives the sweat, are the sounds that penetrate from the inner camera and condemned by broken glass sound thermos.
But do not worry that's probably just the sensor, which vibrates in a magnetic field.

Unfortunately, I also had problems with my K-5 II!
In the four days that I had hanged himself 3 times nothing was more "read it only by removing the batteries again set in motion.
The images were low in contrast or even slightly out of focus.
Corresponded just not where a DLSR. Even a Panasonic DMC-TZ31EG were unfortunately better!
But I must admit to defend the Camera, which I really found good images on the Web at Flickr, Picasa and Pentaxians that have been made with this type of camera !!!
The ISO automatic tendency for my feelings very quickly despite setting to "slow increase" the ISO speed to travel upwards.
For videographers that's definitely the wrong camera! But it was me in buying eh not so important and therefore no problem.
But what did not work, the objective is to cost at retail at Amazon 450 and the kit is not much less!
It has an extreme sharpness and light weakness in the peripheral region is better but not really great towards the middle!
Furthermore, I had contamination in the lens which became noticeable at closed aperture in the pictures as stains.
Since I have not bought a water-resistant and dustproof camera for no reason ... I am also dependent on a corresponding lens.
What happens to only Pentax delivers !!!

And I see absolutely no one to take over the final inspection of the camera and lens in the price !!! Where else is a well-paid full-time job.
So why three stars for the camera when the lens was so bad !?
For me, both WR camera, lens and WR are inseparable !!!
In addition, there were still the deficits of the camera and it did not work out!
Schade Pentax ......
