In reply to Kim C, Canon and Nikon have both enlarged their mounts to accommodate a moving sensor as well as bringing the lens closer to the sensor which brings its own challenges with lens design - think of the increased angle to the sensor edge. Pentax is unique in having a moving sensor for all i...

Some 300mm Pentax lenses don't have a tripod clamp. Plus smaller lenses are becoming heavier i.e. D-FA 50mm f/1.4 One big disadvantage in reducing the space behind the lens is that it makes 'FUTURE DEVELOPMENT' of things like tilting lenses and filtration almost impossible. Pentax are probably...

A big problem with elements close to the sensor is that any dust will be picked up by the sensor. Nikon Z users are going to have to keep their rear elements spotless :oops: --

A quick search will show that the best video cameras are not necessarily best choice for stills. Another interesting reveal is that a high frame per second rate will not necessarily translate Into more useable captures as the tracking focus cannot keep up, or it relies on reducing the sensor area fo...

No need to apologise. Sony is attracting customers from lots of DSLR companies because the’re innovating and are very competitively priced. This situation is cropping up more and more and the content is usually very similar. People want to stay with Pentax, they really do, but Pentax has not bee...

Do you want a camera that takes the photos itself, or do you want to take them? That's the subtle difference. A real photographer wants Careful, that's a slippery slope to infer some users aren't real photographers... I'm prepared to hand control of certain aspects over to the camera. I suspe...

I love doing photography with my Pentax DSLRs and 35mm and medium format film cameras. When I want to shoot video, of a family occasion or a music concert, I use my iPhone 8 plus:D The 4K video output of the iPhone 8 plus is surprisingly good for such a tiny device. But then I am no video profession...

What's your latest acquisition?
Fat Fifty arrived today. It's definitely earning the nickname, that's probably the first impression for most users. It's as thick as the FA*85 but about an inch longer and a slight bit heavier. The image quality in my limited testing is excellent. It feels as though the lens outresolves the senso...

What's your latest acquisition?
A DFA 50mm f2.8 macro in the SRS 10% off sale, the second in my small lightweight primes. However just after I clicked the order for it I had a phone call to tell me the Leica D-Lux 7 I had a reserve on was at long last in stock: just the one so did I want it? Of course I had to say yes so they both...

What's your latest acquisition?
The Adobe Photoshop package. I just bought a Leica D-lux 7 which comes with a three month subscription and that’s the only software that effectively opens the Leica RAW files! What a con. Never been really interested in PS as all my processing is with Lightroom 6, the last non-subscription version. ...

What's your latest acquisition?
The improvements were faster autofocus and faster continues autofocus better stability , whilst handholding in pixel shift. how do you rate these improvements? Autofocus speed seems to be down to each individual lens rather than the camera body. Hand holding for pixel shift sounds a compromise...

What's your latest acquisition?
Today a brand new Pentax K70 arrived to replace my recently defunct blue K30 which has given me some excellent pictures since I bought it in, I think, 2012. Got the K70 from SRS in an astonishing Black Friday deal and tomorrow it will get its first outing. David As a fellow K-70 user I’m looking f...

What's your latest acquisition?
A beast. Considerably larger than the K-70, but not uncomfortably so. Funded by the sale of the K-70, 18-135mm and 55-300mm PLM. Though the latter of the lenses had the most use between them, I was never absolutely certain when using it, so it is better with someone else. The 18-135mm is a lovely ex...

What's your latest acquisition?
An(other) ME Super, this time in black. I instantly dismissed the bundle I received (lens and camera) as the Tokina 28mm 2.8 RMC won't stop down; it's stuck wide-open. The camera looked in a bit of a sorry state with corrosion around the door edges and, for whatever reason, it wasn't enjoying windin...

What's your latest acquisition?
I bought an MX-1 after I read that it has the same sensor as the Q7 and Q-S1. At the moment the size is a tiny bit off-putting compared to the Q7 so I might have to get used to it. I'm also finding it hard to adjust to not using my left hand to zoom :)

What's your latest acquisition?
A Helios 44-2 that arrived yesterday. Took a punt on an untested one from eBay after asking a couple of questions and it’s absolutely serviceable. Couple of cleaning marks front outer, couple of oil species edge of front inner but sharp throughout. £12+P&P.
