KP Silver or Black
I bought the KP in silver a couple of years ago when Amazon had a silly sale for a short while - I think I paid about £550. Having progressed through the K30 (lovely ergonomics and a major step up from Olympus E520) and the KS2 (Twisty floppy back screen which was great for landscapes, flowers and ...

KP Silver or Black
@Blincodave That comparison page is a nice find! The black lenses on the silver KP look pretty good to me. That makes it even more tempting to go for the silver one. That plus the fact that it is still dropping a little, now sitting at £545.36! Also Blinco, I was hovering over PMing you regardi...

KP Silver or Black
I only have one thing against the KP. It looks like it was thrown together by a committee after a bad night out. There are knobs and buttons everywhere and half of them are in a different position to those on any other Pentax camera. The K1 does the same trick. If I had a pound for every time I've p...

KP Silver or Black
The tilt screen is so handy. You can put the camera on the ground but even in normal use it's great to not have to slightly stoop to see a flat screen or use the viewfinder. Or you can angle it away from bright reflecting lights. My back says 'thank you' every time I use it.

KP Silver or Black
Silver now £501.04 and black at £585.44... I had said £600 was my biting point for black but I can see in CamelCamelCamel that it touched £556 earlier in January... mmm, it's so annoying now that Amazon won't simply give you back the difference if the price falls, have to go through returning it et...

Kia at digital revs latest U tube video proclaims he has switched to Pentax, well he does own a PentaxKP, That ones rather a mockumentary, harking back to their earlier Hong Kong based videos together. Not entirely sure it promotes Pentax in a good light...

KP Silver or Black
I will run that by the boss and stand well back. At present I have 4 Pentax (K5, K3, K3ii and now K70 plus GR. Numerous lens. I only can use one at a time although have been along the Itchen for two hours with K3ii & K70. So I really see no NEED for another But I thank you for your input. The boss...

The boss says we need a new cooker, so looks like my want will be on the back burner😉 I wouldn't recommend putting any of your Pentax's on the back burner of your new cooker when you get it!

KP Silver or Black
The AF feels quicker than the K3 but that could just be me in "new camera nirvana" Congrats on your purchase Mike. I feel that the KP is faster to focus than the K-3

WOT NO SERVICE?
Thrilled to say a visit to service and repairs, courtesy of John Pye - Uttoxeter, has put me as right as rain! It was mirror misalignment plus a service - about an hours work and the damage was £113.50p so K-50 is back on the scene. So thanks, everybody for help and advice- especially Chris Mills....

K3-ll TETHERING
This is an old chestnut, I'm sure, but has anybody any updated info on if this camera can be tethered to any software? I have Lightroom Classic CC so would prefer to use this but Adobe points me back to Pentax for info but I cannot see where or how you contact them. Regards Andrew

I certainly would never put another Flu card in my K3ii. It completely reset my computer and I had the devil of a job regaining control of it. I have yet to make the thing inside the K1 work properly, even having installed the extra software on my Android phone. I just ignore it as an unwanted gimm...

Pentax Q
I am a tad envious :mrgreen: If you get bored with that prime, I have a spare 02 zoom I'd eagerly swap it for :wink: Unfortunately I've just ordered the 02 zoom from SRS, they had one listed on ebay for £49.99, having said that I doubt the prime will be taking a back seat just yet :D

Pentax Q
I found that a carefully placed hand can help. But for outdoor use, the viewfinder is one of the weaker aspects of the Q. Of course, there was a time when every photographer had a big black cloth that they draped over their head and back of the camera so they could see the image on the screen...:...

Pentax vision
If this is Ricoh's take on how they are to survive in the camera market then I'm happy with it. It reminds me of a cartoon by Matt Pritchett some years ago. A passer by stops to ask a long queue of people waiting at the side of the road why there are there and it is explained that they are waitin...

Pentax vision
Just had a thought - perhaps the Pentax vision is aimed at Olympus users who might be looking for a new home that values traditional quality, the photography experience and isn't the Big Two... Steve Olympus users are used to a teeny weeny sensor so unless Ricoh bring back the Q I can't see them ...

Pentax vision
I love Pentax's commitment to their origin's and principles. I for one do not wish them to produce a mirrorless camera, there are plenty of other manufacturers out there for cameras like that. I have tried a few, Sony NEX 6, Olympus E520, Olympus OMD EM10II, Fuji X30 and Fuji XS-1 but I have come ba...
