Any new FF gossip

Dude we get it, watch the B&H site right?

Kindly supply links to said B&H notices?

We're quite happily waiting as if it's a blockbuster of a full frame camera we might have to find a large amount of cash for it. So no rush! Our K-5 bodies are still giving very good service, so there's no imperative to upgrade until one fails.

It's actually a good place to be. The cameras get good solid use and there's none of that "it's new, treat it with kid gloves" feeling. If it's raining, it gets wet, no fears there.

I don't routinely look at B&H, they kept telling me things were discontinued that were not. SRS is a more reliable site for what is available in the UK.

Having said that, lots of interesting older items still crop up as new in various places, but they come and go so we need to keep watching. Even places like Asda can surprise us at times.

Well Park Cameras look like they are ready for it

Great price! Who said full frame needs to be expensive

Anyone going to post a review for it?

We need a thread for moaning about lenses not being up to scratch on the NEW Pentax FF

--

is it a 70-200 or an 80-200 that is delayed ::

I'm confused, in general, not just about this

Anyone feeling the need to off load their apsc limited lenses for a tenner each given the impending release of the ff body please give me a shout

I just hope that when the ff arrives we can see the plus points not just any possible down sides

Here is a link that shows the specific release date of the Pentax FA 80-200aw

It shows that Pentax dropped the ball in claiming that it was going to be released soon (coming soon actually), as Pentax had originally planned to release it at about the time the FA 150-400 was released. As the link eventually show on the page, pushed back until February of next year. One can sign up for notices on any product that is posted throughout the entire B&H site.

Further onto the B&H site, it shows other camera bodies that are scheduled for release two full months (plus) from now, nothing from Pentax though - to be released in the near future. B&H in the past has shown Pentax camera bodies more than a few weeks before release.

It is of course a 70-200mm, and no doubt it will be fantastic when it arrives. I don't see the need for the negativity, especially as so much has happened and continues to happen in the world of Pentax.
