If I ran a camera company... But you don't, right? I'd have a revenue stream that continues after I sold the camera, though ideally I'd have liked a kick-back on every second-hand sale. imho, that's an outrageous idea. :shock: Look, you make your choice and you pay your money. It's really ju...

That was just one example, I suspect it breaks down when one considers accessories such as ring flashes and other gizmos. I'm not sure, though, how one gets proper TTL viewing with a mirrorless camera though? I can't see that will work as at best it has to be a laggy VDU. You'll appreciate I'm no...

Maybe we aspirant amateurs will have to take a leaf out of the professionals book: pick the lenses you want and the bodies to go with them; if that means bodies from more than one manufacturer, so be it. It used to be like that back in the 70s & 80s. Quite a few makers used the K mount besides Pent...

K1 or K3ii
From smudge's home area it would take less than an hour to drive the lens to Sigma's HQ. A no brainer! My local LCE handled everything for no charge even though I didn't buy the lens from them. Going back to the original question, there is a special K1 section on the Ricoh website. A major cons...

K1 or K3ii
MAK and I tried them out today. I must say that I really liked the K3 and it`s alround performance was pretty much up there. Same as the K5 which MAK used. Pentax have come of age with the K1 IMHO. Everything about it that I have found so far is quite different in a positive manner. Yes, even a crop...

How many of you have a second body?
I've been shooting with Pentax cameras since the early 1970s and as far as I can recall the only failure was an SMC Pentax-A 50mm f/1.7 lens whose aperture mechanism fell apart in a studio session. Never a camera body. So normally I would carry just one DSLR body, but always have the trusty Penta...

How many of you have a second body?
Same approach as davidtrout - K-3 & K-5 plus 2/3 long lenses for airshows and the like, and the K-30 (mine has also been reliable) for general "walkarounds", days out & holidays and plus, for those, a very small, cheap Canon P&S which I can slip into any available pocket (and which has been called i...

How many of you have a second body?
........ Had to take the K-30 as a 2nd body when we went to an airshow with the K-3 in for service, and I hope I'll never have to do that again because it just ain't as fast to focus or shoot. Would like a K-3II for the (reputedly improved focusing), but only if I can pick up a s/h one at a good p...

Also used Eneloops, very surprised that we have such a different experience and in no way doubting yours. My K30 was serviced and repaired and now that you mention it I think I remember it coming back and being noticeably better at AF than before and they mentioned something about af calibration and...

Now here's a "funny thing" (and I've said this before!), the K-3 is best with the F4 100-300 screw-drive Sigma, whereas the K-5 is best with the 150-500 HSM OS, whereas neither works well with the "other" lens - and it's because the K-3 has a fast/strong screw-drive motor and the 100-300 has a relat...

How many of you have a second body?
I originally bought a Canon purely for the MPE-65mm but have since upgraded the body and added a few lenses that I can't get in Pentax mount. I must admit that as a tech junkie every major marque has a body I would love to own but in the end I know it would cost me a ruddy fortune to try all of th...

I've only had one DSLR die on me, that's my K5, which had been showing signs for a couple of months. Replaced that with a K3-II, much nicer but still not as nice image wise as my old K110 and K200, both of which get regular use out and about. The K200 acts as my travel back up body, it takes AA b...

That's right, his recent move back to Pentax has caused an unexpected upturn in the Consumer Prices Index :lol:
