with the slightly lower-priced Nikon DSLRs models .įor our test series, we mounted the Pentax K-5 IIs to a Leica M205-C microscope. This feature does not come standard with all cameras, as i.e. We really like the optical appearance and the fact that the camera provides all auto functions ( auto exposure, in particular, is a very handy feature for microscopy), even without CPU lenses. With the Pentax K-5 IIs, you must either manage with a display mirror or control the camera remotely from your PC. A vari-angle display is a big plus for use in microscopy. Unfortunately, it does not have a pivot function. It also features a thin anti-glare coating and is scratch-resistant. The display is three inches in size and has a very good resolution. The camera has an APS-C sensor with 16 megapixels. The rear of the camera has a very clear layout as there are only a few operating controls. The housing, which is made from a mixture of metal and plastic, is robust and has a weather sealed body, making it an ideal companion for outdoor use. The camera body is easy to hold, although at 760 grams (housing only) it is certainly among the heavyweights. In terms of external appearance, the Pentax K-5 IIs does not differ from its predecessor, the Pentax K-5. The only difference is that the Pentax K-5 IIs does not have a low-pass filter. The Pentax K-5 IIs is almost identical to the Pentax K-5 II. The Pentax K-5 IIs DSLR camera tested on a microscope The Pentax K-5 had already demonstrated good results when used on a microscope, and for this reason, we were very curious to see what has changed in the Pentax K-5 IIs.
