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,...

Had a little accident..
So after 5 minutes under the sink with gentle work with old toothbrush the camera is like new. Weather sealing onK3 II works. As for the lens: 1 hour of careful work with q-tips, hobby knife (to get into small gaps), baking paper ( nice smooth and a bit stiff gets between zoom ring and body to drag...

Pentax K20D
the K-3 I'll happily use ISO1600, and sometimes 3200. K. That's the limit I have on my K-30 and K-S1 also. This sort of sensor tech is up on the K-7 but hasn't jumped again since that jump.

Pentax K20D
"No, but you can still take great photos with any model of most any modern camera if you get to know it." "the right lenses for my use and lots and lots of practice certainly have helped" I agree with Bill. I'd happily stretch the ISO to 800. Both the older ' 'Flagship' models, whilst being, slow...

typical pentax
I feel quite relaxed about it all, but then I'm not waiting for FF like it is some kind of photographic nirvana. Agree. I see a Pentax K-3ii with a FF sensor, and with some physical elements of the K-S2 like a floppy screen and wifi. As an aside, has anyone seen any low light/high ISO test ...

K-1's are on the way...
Slightly off-topic but whilst we while the time away.....picking up on stu62's point Ricoh/Pentax apparently has an arrangement with Tamron to construct some Pentax lenses. I was assured by the Pentax rep that these are not rebadged Tamron lenses but assembled by Tamron from glass supplied by Pentax...

Also in the news that an earthquake has disrupted the Sony image sensor production plant in Japan. I thought they had built in Shake Reduction :mrgreen: :wink: --

K-1's are on the way...
I had far too much photo kit, much of which I seldom used, and some of it has already been sold to completely fund the K-1. I don't see any future in me maintaining two systems, I simply don't seem to have the time. I DID have a12-24, 17-50 and 50-135 crop frame lenses, now I have 12-24, 24-...

K-1's are on the way...
I don't want to cause a fuss, but being from the old Film days I already think of 4/3rds systems and APS-C as "Half Frame" cameras. I think I can even say it without a slight sneer or curl of the lip...... It wouldn't cause offence if we started calling them that after we get our K-1s would it?:D...

K-1's are on the way...
The K-1s are on their way with a larger silicon implant...... What won't be on its way is the Ricoh advert that was comparing 35mm sensors against the 645 stating the advantages having a sensor 1.7x larger than FF. Obviously it was aimed against all FF's out there as Ricoh-Pentax didn't have a FF...

Just paid for mine. Looks like Friday if all goes well.8)8) Just in case anyone didn't appreciate my post re "Half frame, sneers and curled lip" it was intended as humour that might appeal to people who entered photography in the film era. The smiley face gizmo's should have given a clue. Sorry i...

I have successfully converted a Canon using pro (i.e. someone who derives all his income from photography) to the K1. I plucked up the courage to tell him that for the sort of photography he does a D5ii has nothing going for it and the K1 with articulated screen, more resolution, pixel shift and a m...

Hardly, lol... in between cleaning, shopping, looking after kids and preparing meals, and fiddling with the K-1 in between? :P:P Serious stuff will start tomorrow.

Comparing Pentax DSLR's to Others
Careful, I've had posts removed for mentioning other brands before... My experience has been that in single point AF, Pentax is fine and competitive and very accurate. I've observed the Pentax looks for the focus point and arrives at it in a controlled manner. Some other brands I've used were f...

Pentax K1 preview
Tony identifies a couple of Pentax FF lenses as rebadged Tamrons but without the anti-shake; claims the Tamrons are excellent lenses when tested on other systems but hasn't tested the Pentax outfit. Now, when I asked the Ricoh/Pentax rep at the Photography Show if the Pentax lenses are just rebrande...

Pentax K1 preview
Did he really suggest putting a 36mp APS-C sensor in the camera? There's a reason nobody has done this before and its called NOISE. Makes you wonder about the validity of anything else he has to say

Sensor shift has been on Pentax bodies for ages too. Perhaps he's just woken up to what Pentax offers that other makes don't.

Sensor shift has been on Pentax bodies for ages too. Perhaps he's just woken up to what Pentax offers that other makes don't. I don't think he has ever really looked at Pentax cameras in the past. I know they did a comparison test with the Ks2 and other models of similar type. He did also highly ra...
