K-R is here!
Pleased they have re'introduced the focus conformation points in the veiw finder. Its on the Pentax site at 74.800 Yen which I think is around £578. http://shop.pentax.jp/shop/goods/goods.aspx?goods=14338 Ian

18 focus points seems odd to me - surely 19 would make more sense? The Iso standard seems odd to me but maybe it is right. Also the bit about flashes is interesting. Sounds like Katzeye won't be selling to many screens for it if the viewfinder info is correct. Interesting to see where th...

I don't think Sigma (and Tamron) are the same. Although they may be from the outside they do use different internal mechanisms to work with the different systems and will incorporate different electronics. What Pentax really need are much faster SDMs. There's no point in the camera getting the ...

What Pentax really need are much faster SDMs. There's no point in the camera getting the focus faster if the lens can't keep up. They can't do that without developing ring-SDM - which would mean "MkII" versions of every SDM lens. At the moment Pentax SDM (even in the £1000+ DA* lenses) works the sa...

I notice Sigma lenses have a problem with the new Sony cameras that have a non standard viewfinder A33/A55. Wonder if there could be the same with a : • Hybrid VF utilizing translucent LCD to display focus points and framing grid.

Bespoke for Marty Feldman ? Off Topic. A great loss to comedy. Was it the cartoonist, the lobster or the fags coffee and eggs which killed him? we shall never know. The eyes were due to Graves disease. Back on topic, sounds a promising walkabout lens. Might even be tempted by it, even though I...

pentax has to focus more on the af system and get it right its still to slow compared to all the other dslr brands, pentax has the build quality and everything else pritty much spot on so they just need to adjust the af to be much faster, maybe not worry about more af points for now, but in the fut...

I have a theory. I think that real Pentax users (not those who are always nervously eyeing the specs of the latest models from rival brands, and fretting whether the next-door neighbour has a better car, prettier wife, or whatever) tend to be happier, more relaxed, and yes, more mature, people. ...

K5, Kr, full frame (?) it's all to little too late
I really can't understand why so many people want a FF camera.:?: Today's APS-C DSLR already have the edge over film SLRs. And most people don't make prints large enough to show the quality of their APS-C camera to start with. As a matter of fact, most people don't make prints at all, where the q...

My current film camera's autofocus doesn't work with lenses from yesteryear That's very curious as all Pentax AF lenses will work with all Pentax AF cameras, digital or not. Obviously manual focus lenses will only manually focus, but even then addition of the 1.7x AF converter will enable AF for ...

K5, Kr, full frame (?) it's all to little too late
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the high ISO performance of FF cameras seems to me to be pretty desirable when compared to APS-C. Particularly when the K7's performance in this regard marked a step back from the K20D. This is the area I most hope is addressed in the K5. Given the KX's ability in th...

Interesting and important topic...... I think pentax MUST make a 'FF' if they are to be taken seriously by photographers rather than camera users/consumers. The 'Toys-R-Us' stance that pentax has recently taken with kx & kr may be good for it's bean counters but it's a wrong turning as far as I...

As someone who uses [please note the tense] 35mm film, medium format film, large format film and an APS-C K20D I can happily state that the K20D easily out performs most (?all) the 35mm films I have used. I have quite happily printed up to A2 which is as large as I need to go. As far as I am conce...
