Looks like Pentax have slipped up by allowing loads of dealers to post the same official video on Youtube Now you can't see the wood for the trees (or whatever the Japanese equivalent is )

I've got at least the Ricoh 28mm, 50mm (3 of them) and 135mm possibly more in other brands such as Vivitar....... Quids In!

It should work with the Ricoh 'P' lenses with the PIN then

Choice of about 4 different grips suggests to me that this is a new powerful AF System and they are concerned that the High Torque generated by such a powerful and fast 440VAC AF motor could break peoples wrists

It's a great shot, but a Pentax user would never have taken it for several reasons

A:_ APSC not FF so no good.

A:_ 18MP Needs to be much more 36MP at least

A:_ Poor zoom lens

A:_ Flash sync on camera needs to be more than 1/180

A:_ 250ISO needs to be 128,000ISO at least

On the positive side entering a photo taken in 2015 for a 2016 Comp. sounds Pentax possible

Ha! Ha! What clowns! It's their competition winner and they cropped it

They did include the full image at the bottom of the page, but that doesn't alter the fact that they cropped the one that people looked at first

Fantastic shots of some great buildings. Some of the brickwork is very strange?

Eye-Fi have now released software to allow the camera to PC transfer on old cards

Mine's an old card and I still use the original software which is blocked from the internet.

Toshiba and Eye-Fi have now combined which I presume will allow Eye-Fi software to be used on Toshiba FlashAir Cards.

I use an Eye-Fi card all the time for anything in the house or garden. Very fast for 10MB Jpgs off a K-5.... 10 secs each. RAW is slower.

This was a test from the garden with a Netgear Trek repeater half-way. Single test shot then a pause and then 5 quick shots all transferred quickly.
