John Riley reviews Pentax's lowest priced DSLR model aimed at enthusiasts that's still in production. The KF might be Pentax's least equipped model, but with a 24mp sensor it's far from being a compromise in what really matters, image quality.
Asahi Photo is a UK based camera and lens repair company specialising in film cameras, including the Asahi Pentax 6x7, Pentax 67 and Pentax 67II models.
The potential for a DSLR revival could just be around the corner as some photographers seek more of a photographic experience over Mirrorless. John Riley compares the latter premium APS-C models released - Pentax K-3 III, Pentax K-3 II, Pentax K-3 and Pentax KP.
