There are rumours that the NX1 chip could be coming to Pentax

Pentax already make all the lenses and cameras that I need and I think I've got them all apart from the new 50mmm f/1.4 which I can't justify buying for what I would use it for. I've already got three 50-58mm f/1.2's

Bit like Fender guitars I bought a Strat in the 70's and never seen any reason to change, same guitar with slight changes has been in production since about 1953. I don't hear anyone saying they should drop that and the Tele and bring out new models

Video isn't a high priority to me apart from when it gets so good that you can just grab frames instead of using still cameras.

This would be your best bet

These should be put in a book and sold. Top class photography.

I've often been amazed at seeing the bokeh from this lens even though I've never had one.

A 50-210mm for FF would make a lot more sense than the old and restricted 70-210mm which means you have to change lenses to get a standard/normal 50mm view.

I've got the old 45-125mm FF, but haven't yet tried it on the K-1. Supposed to have been designed jointly with Zeiss.

Photoshop loads fairly quickly from any drive. The time delays are usually down to CPU work. So just go for the fastest CPU you can afford or pick one that's cheaper but almost as fast.

And I thought you'd forgotten to put a film in the camera

Excellent documentary. Reminds me of the old 'Life Magazine'

What does he think of the AF ?

Sad to hear about the end of one of the oldest names in British photography. Whilst they didn't distribute as much as they used to they still had the brands on this page....

Hopefully the repair business will be sold off fairly quickly.
