Looks like the worst marketing decision since my grandad perfected sealing wax just as the demand dropped. Tokina mustn't have known Canon and Nikon were bringing out a new mount

They might have spent £10 on marketing that they didn't need to

The Tokina version for Canon/Nikon goes on sale at the end of October.

The Pentax 43mm f/1.9 came out in 1989 at about £400. Since then the RPI has increased by about 2.42x making the equivalent cost today about £967. So the new lens isn't as expensive as it appears to be and you can live quite long without food

Where did you buy the 'Time Machine' from
Is it mirrorless?
--

Your Pentax fit Sigma 18-35 f1.8 would fit a Pentax perfectly and wouldn't need a silly adapter

Pentax don't aim for optimum exposure in the camera..... so what's good for the goose is good for the ganderers

If you have Highlight correction turned on the camera underexposes by usually one stop and then pulls it back up if the highlights will stand it. That's why with it turned on the minimum ISO changes from 100 to 200.

I don't like HDR but single shot HDR can be quite good. I assume the software creates the +/- shots from the original.

It's f/2.8 or faster so f/1.4 is OK. Pentax AF usually works above the specified aperture. i.e. the f/5.6 points still work at f/8 so the f/2.8 could well work at f/4

One point to note, but... not that important because Pentax Users are 'rude boys' and 'don't care' as Prince Buster once sang. The high precision AF points won't be used on lens calibration tests using horizontal lines This only effects accuracy so not important Low precision f/5.6 will do won't they?

That's why mirrorless is killing off DSLR's ......... NOT!!!!!

Anyone want me to take their complete obsolete/old Canikon kit off their hands for say £100?

--

Is this a joke ? Shot only in 360p

Camera Ville does up to 2160p (4k) ...... and points and waves his hands about

This has just reminded me about a certain city in the UK (which shall remain nameless) who brought out a byelaw in a conservation area that buildings and cast iron railings could only be painted BLACK AND WHITE Where did that come from? Well they got it from looking at OLD B&W photos of course

If they'd scraped the paint off some of the balcony's / railings they would have found that the favourite colour of the Edwardians/Victorians was GREEN Which they don't allow
