John Riley takes a look at the recently released Pentax K-3 III Monochrome, which is an APS-C DSLR dedicated to black & white photography. John reviews & tests the performance of this stunning monochrome camera which offers crisper, noise-reduced images over its colour sibling.
John Riley compares the Leica Q3's 43mm lens with the SMC Pentax-FA 43mm f/1.9, both lenses designed to match the same view as the human eye. John provides test charts for both lenses, sample photos and his verdict.
