Pentax K-3 Mark III now available to pre-order!
Steve, The carrier only has paperwork to deal with if they have to collect VAT and/or Excise duty. In this case it doesn't apply, as I think you will agree. As for the warranty, I doubt if sending the camera back to the Netherlands would cost much, if anything, more than sending it to Ricoh's UK a...

Pentax K-3 Mark III now available to pre-order!
Hi, Also with SRS you get money back points which are worth a far old bit, I am also puzzled why the thinking is that there is no import duty on goods from the EU, as a third party country there certainly should be? I've imported from all over the world and expect to pay the duty and on expensive it...

Is anyone interested to know what an enhanced part ex. rate is? I've had two quotes, so far, for a well used, but fully working K3 ii. One at £310 and the other, which I take to be the enhanced one, at £325. Part ex quotes for a K30, again well used but fully working £50 and the enhanced one £0. I'...

New models of cameras do not re-invent the wheel The pneumatic tyre didn't change the basic function of the wheel, but it was a significant step forward for the user.:wink: I changed from K20D to K3 because the K3 seemed to offer some things that I was finding frustrating with the K20D (more like...

A week or two back AP, in their column looking at old issues of the magazine, noted that a Spotmatic, in today's money, would be over £2000.

Pentax K-3 Mark III now available to pre-order!
We are hopefully receiveing our first batch of cameras tomorrow (courier dependant) Demand has been very high so our first batch is less than we'd hoped so not all back-orders will be supplied but our next batch is due late next week. Can't quite believe they are on the way - it's seems a long...

K3iii a few initial thoughts
What a delight it was to go to SRS in person and pick up the camera in person - first time I've done that since I purchased my K-7 from them ahem years ago.... Of course the shop is a bit different currently and it's not a free for all for customers to browse wherever they want. Still full of inte...

Trouble is that I’ve got used to manual zone focus from using MF lenses and found that so liberating that it’s what I tend to do if I want super fast shots... it’s faster than any AF I’ve ever used!

I absolutely agree , manual focus is so much better in so many ways as it pinpoints exactly where you...

I'd actually forgotten that the new camera was due to be received/delivered about now after months of snippets/ mini reviews etc...good to see that finally its out there for all you lucky boys and girls. Hope no major disappointments. Trouble is that I’ve got used to manual zone focus from using ...

AF accuracy seems spot on even in poor light. AF speed is as good as my lenses will allow. AF hunting is negligible to non existent. I see from your Flickr you have the 16-50mm & 50-135mm, how do you find the autofocus speed on them as I always thought they were slow to get where they needed to on p...

Having both the 16-50 and the 50-135 I’m looking forward to the analysis on the k3 iii performance. The large bright view finder and joy stick focus points has me intrigued and wanting this k3 iii. Thanks so far for the trial outings

Thanks Tyr for the update on the 16-50 s performance on the k3iii I still love the lens and I know it is difficult to use but when you get things right with this lens it is something special despite all the bad reviews. I would never sell it either. I use it with manual focus more now as er’m SDS :c...

I've managed to 'fix' a couple of SDM lenses using an experimental method of using WD-40, contact cleaner and multipurpose lubricating oil. If I lube the motor up too much, it spins but won't seem to catch the focus mechanism to move the elements. If it's too dry then it just doesn't shift. There...
