If they haven't got anything really important to announce
there will be fireworks!
Could well be a leak a few hours before though

1 Stop. I can't see how Pentax can improve on that. The only
improvement which might help slightly is HD coating, but I
fear that better performance won't be possible until they
considerably improve the AF sensors. It could well be
restricted to f/2.8 lenses when it comes out

I used to look at the trains when I was waiting for
a bus home from school
Eddie Stobart spotting is also pointless and very sad
Tractor following is very popular with country folk...
every time you see a tractor 12 cars are following it

If I didn't know better I would have said the last few posts were anything but pointless.
Is everyone off the booze??
If you look up Pointless in a Dictionary it just gives
'Trainspotting' as the definition

APS-C never mind FF.

Comment by Algernon posted on Pentax Lens refresh... at 29/08/2013 - 11:04
These lenses are FF capable are they not? They changed pretty much just the coatings?
so it appears to me that the FF body is not ruled out... if anything, the refresh shows a higher resolution sensor is on it's way.... so the most likely candidates for that sensor will be found in Nikon or Leica bodys.... no?
seems like what ever they release it will be a fine camera and definitely weather-sealed...
I can't wait to see what is next!.........................
embarrassing to release a FF camera and then remove two
recently released lenses from the FF brochure, besides DA
means APS-C you can't release a FF camera and say some of the
DA HD lenses are suitable.
The 40mm is soft at the edges even on APS-C, so I would
not like to use that on FF.
The red ring seems to denote HD it was used on the 560mm.
If you look at the roadmap, they now use 4 colours...
Red, Green, Gold plus Purple for the 31mm,43mm and 77mm

and buying Pentax K-50's It would make a good advert for
Pentax as well..... 20 Anorak wearing trainspotters on a station
suddenly throw away their trainbooks and nip into WH Smiths on the
station and all come out with K-50's + flashguns and then
go back on the platform, still wearing their anaoraks and
photograph the trains Much better than scantily clad model girls
and more appealing to real men

0.1mm thick) around the finder, not only makes it look good,
but also makes it tacky enough to hold a small piece of
card in place for the duration of the exposure
