Ffordes - Bargain grade 85mm f2

Based on what I have just paid, fungus removal would cost about £50, so the lens is actually £150. The fungus removal would also include cleaning and rebuilding the lens, so you might end up with a better item than if you bought a fungus-free lens.

K10D available at Real Camera (Manchester)

Hi All, There have been some recent threads where forum members have been looking for K10D's for the CCD sensor. The Real Camera Company (as it suggests, a real camera shop in Manchester) have one in their eBay shop with 3 days to go: I've bought various bits of Pentax 6x7 gear from them over...

FA 77 limited

Double discount means the end of Pentax so I can easily resist ... until the next double discount day (possibly Black Friday). So no-one else does discount deals then? On that basis they are all going down the tube. Interesting that the Nikon mirrorless has adopted a moving sensor and had to bring o...

K-1 Body

If a smaller K-1 replacement could be developed, the mechanical parts would hopefully also be smaller and therefore have less distance to travel so hopefully resulting in faster operation. TheK-1ii offers no mechanical advantage over the original. Anyone know if there is an improvement with livev...

K-1 Body

A Pentax E-1 maybe? It might be a little chunkier than the opposition if it keeps the K mount (I'd hope it would) Sizewise around an ME/MX but a little thicker to accommodate the sensor and rear screen.That coupled with some new PLM lenses should see it fly. I would buy one alhough you are now getti...

K-1 Body

That would suggest there isn't much more room for development possible for that type of camera then. If that is the case then maybe time for an EVF............. That coupled with some new PLM lenses should see it fly. As far as DSLR I think you are right. Size and weight is limited by the optical ...

Size isn't important unless the difference is significant. Many ML shooters are still using legacy glass with adapters which nullify any size advantage while crippling functionality. When I see P6x7 lenses advertised as suitable for ML systems I'm simply amazed anyone would bother. Pros and cons. ...

Samsung 10-17mm D-Xenegon F3.5-4.5 K Mount

It's the result of the partnership between Samsung and Pentax a good few years ago - Samsung branded a few Pentax lenses under their own name as part of them allowing Pentax to use their Digital Sensors (18-55, 50-200, 100 Macro and 10-17). 8) Thank you Lenny. I remember well the collaboration betwe...

Pentax sensor cleaning kit > https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pentax-Sensor-Cleaning-Kit-DSLR/dp/B000QUYERE/ Has anyone used this particular kit? Is is good? I ask as I have, unsucessfully, used a Delkin Devices kit and so still have a few miniscule blobs on the sensor!

Amazon Prime Day 2021 - K70 and DA 18-270 each £100 under SRS price.

Have not used that kit or any other BUT When I had a problem with dirt on my sensor when I bought a second hand camera, David storm kindly explained how to clean it and it worked very well and pretty cheap compared with the kits you can buy. No problems since. See this thread for the info; https:...

Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 HSM Art

MPB have one for £349 which I think is a great price for a fabulous lens. Crop sensor lens otherwise I would have snapped it up myself.

SMC Pentax 50mm 1.2

Been there since June (was £249) - I think the lower price is due to the dust inside - the images don't look too bad but it's not always possible to tell the extent from a few photos ! Yes tthat is correct Lenny, the lens has indeed been up for sale for some considerable time, It's the reduction in ...

Ebay MZ-S & FA 28-105mm £249

If it came with the FA24-90/3.5-4.5 I would've said get it. Just for the experience and then sell the camera on if you have to make the choice. I did have that combination, plus the Z-1 and Z-1p. I now only have the Z-1p and would like another. The MZ-S is on another plane, it's no upgrade o...
