Finally! Pentax K-1 is official... Pre-order and Open Day information
but 4.4fps is just, well archaic really D610 = 6fps (rounded up) 0.027 sec/frame quicker D810 = 5fps (rounded up) 0.06 sec/frame quicker Will it really make a difference in real life, I suspect not !! Both those cameras are over two years old the d610 is the same as the previous d600 which was a...

Finally! Pentax K-1 is official... Pre-order and Open Day information
There are certainly plenty of legacy lenses, some of them almost legendary. But that doesn't really address the point that they were optimised for a different medium and use (comparatively) noisy, slow, screw-driven focusing. I have used the FA31 over the years on digital and it is a favourite, bu...

Finally! Pentax K-1 is official... Pre-order and Open Day information
I strongly suspect the k1 has some room for improvement on the video end, and that we'll see a firmware upgrade in a few months that will unlock some more capabilities.... no we won't see 4k video, but we might see some sensor based shake reduction, faster frame rates and a log profile. I think Pe...

Finally! Pentax K-1 is official... Pre-order and Open Day information
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, ...

APSc or 35mm full frame??
I'm very happy with my K3 which I managed to buy very cheaply due to SRS's excellent trade in offers at the time. I have all the lenses I need. The K-1 is too big and heavy for my needs so I look forward to a smaller lighter next APS-C flagship as electronics shrink. I guess this will be October ...

APSc or 35mm full frame??
The images from the new camera are bound to be superior but will anyone (beyond pixel-peepers) be able to tell the difference at normal magnifications and after some judicious processing? I still can't get over the results the MX-1 can produce and that has a tiny sensor. I guess people have diff...

APSc or 35mm full frame??
I think there will be some landscape shooters salivating over the K-1. Also I think it will be great for low light shooting, e.g. concert/gig photography, but agree that a lower pixel count with the same size sensor would have been even better for this type of work. I guess this will follow in due...

APSc or 35mm full frame??
The size/weight thing is very personal. There's lots of highly committed landscape photographers who will happily lug full-frame DSLRs with a choice of lenses and tripod up mountains for the ultimate quality. But if you feel you might weaken, even once, and can't face the burden, then you'll be happ...

APSc or 35mm full frame??
I'd love a shiny new K1......and a new set of fully compatible lenses. And if I win the Lottery or Premium Bonds I'll get one along with a posher car and whatever my wife would like too. A world cruise perhaps? But do I need one? Will my photography grind to halt without one? Will my pictures decli...

APSc or 35mm full frame??
A few good videos on YouTube have addressed this issue. The key question being whether you need or just want a full-frame over an APS-C camera. 1) " " by Zack Arias; duration 14 min.. Zack asks the question and shows the relative size of sensors / film. Not Pentax specific. 2) " " by Photo Unive...

APSc or 35mm full frame??
For a more informed discussion on the K-1 and APS-C vs FF debate, I prefer to listen to . I find this guy like an androgynous alien, so I'm mostly watching for his wife Chelsea. Ed from photouniverse just reminds me of a paranoid conspiracy theory guy living in tin foil hats so the government a...

None FA lenses on K-1 crop factor
If I recall correctly, a 50mm lens on Pentax crop sensor has a 1.5 * magnification, making giving you in 35mm terms a 75mm focal length, does anyone know if a non-FA lens will have the same crop factor on the K-1? Sorry the subject should say non-FA

None FA lenses on K-1 crop factor
The K1 will automatically crop the image when a DA lens is attached (unless told otherwise via the menu) so it will still give you the 1.5 crop factor and an image the same size as from an APS-C sensor body, If you disable this in the camera settings the lens will give you a full frame image as per...

None FA lenses on K-1 crop factor
No is the answer - an 18-55 lens is an 18-55 lens regardless of the camera, you will get a wider angle of view but as fatspider says the automatic crop will turn the K-1 into a 15MP APS-C camera with an APS-C lens attached, effectively making e.g. the 18-55 the equivalent of 27-82mm- the focal lengt...

I assume you've got a fair selection of FF capable lenses that are just aching to be used to their true potential I'm not convinced they will! Results of older FF lenses on my K7 and K5iis have been soft, then I like the slightly retro look. And using them on my Q S1 really does give me a hint of ...

Have you factored in the cost of additional data storage for the files from that big sensor, John? Data storage won't be a problem, the price per TB is quite low. It wasn't even on the list of things to factor in. I'm much more interested in the ergonomics and efficiency of the camera, plus some oth...

Do you need something from FF that APS-C can't offer? It's essentially that question really. If you don't need better ISO performance (I haven't seen any demo's yet that tell me the K-1 really packs a strong punch in this area? Anyone else seen anything?) or wide angle shots through lenses etc,...
