Chris, over on the us forum, there is mention of a cash back offer on the 16-85 lens. Are you aware of any offers???

Pentax K-3 - £80 instant cashback and £100 part-exchange bonus!
Bill (wvbarnes) gets a trade in of £225 for a well used k5 with 19000 actuations and a kit lens. So total cost to bill was £374. Now that is a good deal.....a real no brainer. I have an immaculate k5 with less than 2000 (used as back up), and contacted srs for a trade trade in. They offered £175. S...

Another happy SRS customer here. I part-exchanged my K5 + 18-55WR (£225) for a K-3 and also got the instant £100 SRS part-exchange bonus and the £80 Pentax cash-back. So, the price to change amounted to £364. What a bargain! AND you get a two-year warranty. AND you get to deal with people who know t...

Sharing a little Pentax love
Your blog made me smile too, though my camera route was slightly different..... MV1 (1980), ME Super Black (in 1982), Super A bought in 84, In 1988 I sadly sold all my kit. Then in 2012 at my good lady's insistence, I bought a K5II, followed a year later by a K5IIs, and a year after that my K3 ...

Sharing a little Pentax love
It's interesting to read about other people's journeys and to see how many started with an ME Super or similar and yet are still here. It's also interesting to hear about others who have in fact departed the marque and yet come back into the fold. I've tweaked the article and also added some P...

Pentax K5IIs - Infrared
You can just use a screw in filter David, the R72 is the one I have. It blocks all visible light and the viewfinder image will be black. Therefore, tripod is best, focus before you put the filter on. The lens will focus IR at a different point to visible light, so ideally the point of focus would ha...

Pentax K5IIs - Infrared
The K5 is superb for IR. I don't see any reason why the k5iis wouldn't be as good; it probably performs worse than some cameras without conversion because the IR filter in front of the sensor is stronger. A conversion removes this filter and replaces it with one that blocks some of the visible spect...

Pentax K5IIs - Infrared
The AA filter may absorb a little IR so the K5iis may be very slightly more sensitive than the K5 but the AA filter could probably be removed during the conversion of the K5 anyway so there may not be any real gain. Personally I wouldn't expect the difference to be noticable. As Aliengrove says ...

The Unicorn is ready to be set free (FF)!
You won't hear any moaning from me - I'm just very excited to see what it's like. I think they kind of missed a trick not having a website with a countdown timer like they had for the 645Z to build anticipation - that was very cool and effective in my view and I did keep checking back on it before ...

The Unicorn is ready to be set free (FF)!
The term "kit lens" has become almost synonymous with the expectation of a low priced, moderate quality introduction to a range. I think that's a pity, because Pentax have some very good "kit lenses" - that is, lenses that are often supplied coupled with a camera body. Fully agree John. The offer...

The Unicorn is ready to be set free (FF)!
Well, I am now glad to say that the recent impulse buy of a Nikon D750 was returned under the instruction from the boss. To be rewarded by Pentax/Ricoh releasing the FF potential at the end of 2015. I think a few sweetners for my love will be in the offing throughout the year this year, to ensur...

The Unicorn is ready to be set free (FF)!
I prophesied in a post a while back that the timing of such a camera would be dependent on when (unconvinced Pentax would ever get round to a FF) I reluctantly sold my K5 and associated lenses and bought into a new system. Well, I sold and bought barely two weeks ago ... clearly, triggering Pentax'...

displaying K30 on TV screen or tablet
hello, there is a "PC/TV" output on the K30, and i have found a cable that goes in (some sort of USB cable), which i plugged into my TV (via USB), but i can see folders and that's it. I would like to see in live view what the camera is capturing (like the live view mode of the camera back screen ...

displaying K30 on TV screen or tablet
the cable i am talking about is this: not sure it would do what i want (i.e replace or show the same as the back screen)

New Pentax FF ..image released on PhotoRumors?
..... If you want to know how big the viewfinder will be, look through a film SLR. I know, its lovely isn't it? :) Thats not exactly what I wanted to know though, which is really about how the reduced FOV will be represented in the larger FF viewfinder. Your ideas above John sound feasible. It so...

New Pentax FF ..image released on PhotoRumors?
But, that comes back to my original concern ... does that not mean we will be able to see the darkening and vignetting with aps-c lenses in the viewfinder? I think that would be distracting. Probably Nigel. Just don't put cropped glass on a FF body unless you don't have FF glass. It's there becau...
