Deleted..... They jumped the gun

Should be a Ricoh release in a few hours

It's not a white cap it's supposed to be the proper black one

It should also be waterproof on a waterproof camera.

Optech used to do waterproof 'K' lens caps.

It's caps shown in the link below. No wonder that they don't show it in many photos the design doesn't even fit the camera.

Considering Ricoh used to make the best 'Body Caps' the one on the K-1 is a disgrace I've replaced mine with a spare Ricoh. They are thicker than the Pentax originals and easier to grip. I hope the K-1 Mkii has a better one. It's the first thing a new customer will look at. Pentax lens caps are also poor. They need something like Sigma's.

Ricoh K Cap

Edit: Just measured the thicknesses. The new Pentax is 7mm and is also missing the white dot. The old Ricoh is 9mm. Much easier to grip.

I had a computer once that had 'Pixel Shift' All the letters used to drop to the bottom of the screen after you typed them!!!!!

Now Official

The K-1 being the 1st Pentax FF (First Edition) is a collectors item so it will shoot up in value!

I've only just got a K-1 so I haven't tried PS yet. I just shot off two frames hand held. Surprised how fast it is. Raw Therapee is supposed to be the best software to use. I've yet to install it.

Very good for watches. This is an old review...

At present SR can't be used with pixel shift because the camera has to control all the movement 1 pixel at a time. The new system, which may well only work for hand held with SR turned on gets the shots by grabbing them from the sensor as it moves. Bit like jumping off a bus before it stops. It will have to be done fast.

I assume it will revert to the original method once SR is turned off.

Pixel shift is amazing It puts Pentax well in front of everyone else
Look at these shots of flowers by a photographer whose work I've admired since the *ist DS days. He used to use a lot of old M series lenses in those days and got some great stuff.

pentaxrumors.com have posted details of the new hand held pixelshift which sounds like it came from Ricoh although they do not quote a source.

I find it hard to believe that Ricoh would post details of a camera that only exists as a rumour. They would surely launch the camera first or at least confirm it's being released.

Non of them look as nice as the Pentax adapters....

Amazon have several models by other makers from about £5

I sound like a spammer!
