Very well written and all perfectly true. I've never understood why people have always been so dismissive of Pentax. They were well liked in the Spotmatic era and the 'K' mount was well accepted as the bayonet standard by people owning other systems . These people actually looked up to Pentax and were very proud if they had say a Pentax 50mm on their Chinon. It was probably for financial reasons that they owned the Chinon in the first place.

Some Cimko mounts were interchangeable. The lenses were the same and they just screwed on whatever camera mount was needed. I think there were 5 screws holding it on and they weren't equi-distant.

It's been used so I'm not interested!

Looks dodgy nothing but expensive bodies listed.

There will also be a KPii. It's not yet known which will be released first.

I wish they would bring out decent manual focus. The beep/green light CIF etc. is pretty much still the same as the original MEF. It wouldn't take a lot of R&D and would have to be able to ID the lens in use and also obtain focus distance from it. They obtain that anyway for AF lenses and MF would probably be restricted to AF lenses (used as MF purely because they can already supply the info) such as the 50mm/100mm macros.

It would be a feather in their cap to have the best MF of any make. I mean MM accuracy.

The magnified focus peaking on the K-1 seems quite good though.

.

Can't see it. They need a new body anyway with at least a fold out screen.

I can hear the moans about how long they are taking with the upgrade already Even if it's a 24 hr service someone will moan saying "Nikon would have collected it at breakfast and delivered it along with a free chippy tea at tea-time"

The board fits in a Spotmatic as well

Your dreamin Go back to sleep!

He's much better than the usual youtube knowitalls. I learned more from him than from all the other video's I've watched put together

The AF speed of Nikon is impressive
