Maybe if the K3 wins camera of the year the 3rd party lens manufacturers like Sigma & Tamron will produce some of their more exclusive lenses for Pentax. Happened way back when the MZ-5/5n won European camera of the year, otherwise I'd have never got the Sigma 70-200/2.8 MkI that I own now. John

I feel a bit awkward and saddened by this - the K3 wins a poll, albeit not the highest accolade available perhaps but still it's a win and then a whole load of negativity follows:!::!::!: If we are not bemoaning the lack of lenses, af options with other brands, no full frame yet etc etc Is it...

To back my point can anyone direct me to a thread about the K3 which has not in some way descended at some point into 'negativity':?: I expect not which is a shame not a point for further argument. I haven't been keeping a tally, and I'm not sure whether what you see as 'negativity' might not be som...

K5 vs K3
The Samyang 14mm f2.8 UMC is excellent in resolution, and all for less than £300. There's plenty of discussion about it on this forum, just search for 'Samyang 14mm'. And there are many examples of its use on the K7 on my portfolio also - please check 'em out .... It is Manual focus, not much o...

K5 vs K3
Hi Tom, I used to have a K-5 a short while ago and still have a K-5iis. I sold the K-5 when I bought a K-3; the K-3 is a big step up from a K-5 and is also quite a leap from the K-5iis. The K-5 is still a great camera, but it's not in the same league as the K-3. It's not just the extra image deta...

K5 vs K3
I can't see a lower noise model on the horizon and the latest input from Rice High is saying that there will NOT be a FF Pentax until after the new 645D arrives. That is bad news if true for those who want Pentax FF but at least we can use our FF Ltd's on the Sony body if needs. I am slowly be...

Memory cards for K5?
Hi guys, I'm looking to purchase a couple more memory cards for my Pentax K5. I currently use a Transcend 8Gb Class 6. I want to get back into my aviation photography this year so I've been researching the various cards and looking at numerous forums but its all very confusing, i.e SDHC UHS-1, Pro, ...

Shooters Report - K-3, Imaging Resource
Just sat down with my new What Digital Camera mag and they only gave the K3 88% and a bit of a mixed bag assessment but give the new nikon D5300 91% ??? On the cons section they state poor AF, no wifi? And performance quirks??? And on the section for noise they state on the last paragraph , "O...

Until the K-1, and then the Pentax FF. I'll wager you'll buy both. :) Who knows? I might go Nikon like a few of our other friends on here have done :shock: Joking aside, if I wanted full frame, this is what I would have done rather than getting a K-3. I like technology but I'm not usually an ea...

Jumping from K20D to K3
Hello there, hope everyone has had/is having a good Christmas. I've been looking into buying a new camera. Got my K20D back in 2008 and had a lot of fun with it but fancy an upgrade. I'm happy with the quality of the pictures but certain aspects of the camera have always felt a bit slow and clunk...

Jumping from K20D to K3
I loved the feel of my K20D so when I jumped over to the K-7 (basically still the same body as a K-3) I have to admit I hated it to begin with, it just felt too small. Having since gone through the K-5 and currently the K-5II (no plans at present to move on to the K-3 as I can't see it's worth mo...

Jumping from K20D to K3
Ergonomics are really down to the individual, what they are used to and physical things like the size of their hands. My K3 looks like beating my K30 in all areas to do with image quality. But I loved the K30 handling wise and am finding the K3 taking some getting used to especially the strange posi...

K3 remote release.
Indeed, I have a basic IR remote and an app on my phone that turns it into a remote control. The K3 has a big advantage over my old Kr in that it has a remote sensor on the back as well as on the front.

How good is weather sealing?
I went out yesterday for a stroll by the River Colne (Hertfordshire) with the K-5II + 18-135. E.g. - The river at that point is usually just a trickle through the big central arch: e.g. from July - It was raining most of the time yesterday, and the camera and lens were thoroughly soa...

Advice re Camera Choice
Sounds like the K-5 + 135 could be a good deal if everything else is OK (areas that you mentioned AND what is the warrantee?), but I will warn you that the K-5 is a lot heavier than the MZ-5N (Had one for a long time)! The K-50 (& thus the almost identical older K-30) is thus what I would suggest...
