I take all my doubts back, and am very pleased to do so.

It seems not everyone is impressed - just don't take this too seriously. It is Rockwell after all! 19 February 2016, Friday NEW: Pentax K-1. Pentax' first try at a full-frame DSLR. It's got 36MP at a sluggish 4.4 FPS with sensor stabilization and two SD slots for $1,800. I'd pass; a 6...

TBH, for me, 36 megapixels is the least attractive part of the package. The 24 megapixels of the K-3 is far more than I need. I managed to print a lovely 12" x 12" image from less than a 1/3 of the frame... I don't, personally, ever need to print a poster the size of the side of a van. My hard d...

Somewhat topical, but was just reading about the new Samsung S7 cell phone. Under the camera specs was this: Realising that the megapixel count alone doesn't necessarily translate to quality images, Samsung is reducing resolution in the new phones to 12 megapixels from 18. That allows indi...

The K1 looks about as good as it could, both aesthetically and in its list of features. If it proves reliable, it should be a winner. Its Achilles' heel, surely, is the paucity of matched lenses (I would be pleasantly surprised if many of the legacy lenses quite cut the mustard). Sony was in a si...

I think any lens that performs well on APS-C will very likely perform well on FF. Plenty of people (myself included) use a lot of old glass on their APS-C DSLRs or mirrorless cameras and on FF they will have their originally-intended field of view and be easier to focus due to the larger and bright...

I think this worry about using older lenses on the new FF is making a mountain out of a molehill. 'Worry' is overstating it a bit. It would just be good for Pentax to show the level of commitment to their lens programme that we see elsewhere. I cannot say Pentax don't have it - time will tell - ju...

The Z-1 and Z-1p had 1/250th flash sync. The MZ-S went back to 1/180th. I suppose they thought no one was interested in 1/250th. --

Well I just got back from visiting SRS and having a play with the K1. It looks and feels just great. The viewfinder seems enormous and the articulating screen feels really well made. First of all I was shown the camera with grip and the new 15-30, which makes for a very imposing combination indeed. ...

My first impression was that the K1 was considerably bulkier than the K3 but came to believe it was largely illusory. Looking from above the smaller LCD against the larger top surface and bigger pentaprism made it look bigger than it was. It is of course bigger front to back but side by side with a ...

Just got back from playing with a K1 at SRS, I was seduced enough to put my name down for one. I took a selection of FA lenses to try, no apparent issues with any of them. I also played with a 50-135 lens, no apparent vignetting at F2.8 but clear vignetting of the corners at F22. Even at F22, ...

I was with Neil P and was also impressed. Focusing did seem faster than K3 (although it was with the 150-450 which I have not tried on my K3). It seemed light to me for the size (well balanced?) and oozed quality. The screen I was expecting to be a gimmicky thing but it seems really good and as othe...

As people that read most stuff on here they will know my disappointment with focus speed and tracking of small objects at high telephoto and have drifted towards a Nikon solution. But this camera just seemed so much better made and would certainly be my first choice for full frame. But what can you ...

IF I decide to get a K-1 do I go the whole hog and get a new lens as well? I have an old 18-80mm in perfect condition but of course doesn't have an electronic focus motor and has mixed reviews, so would this be a false economy?
