You have to weave it yourself.... It comes as wads

Sounds rubbish from the reviews.

Never mind the quality feel the width

I'm probably the only person that thought *ist was a very clever name I even thought of changing my name to *ist*

I'm quite sure that Mr Pentax intended it to be pronounced Starist after all no one calls the * Lenses "asterisk Lenses"

It also ties in with the MS DOS WILDCARD *.* which is pronounced "Star-Dot-Star". There was even a PC magazine of that name.

I still might change my name to "Starist Star"

Two reliable sources who have inside information have confirmed that it was to be the top APS-C model and that originally there were no plans for another K-3 model. Full story on the other forums.

So it's not worth paying £300 extra for a camera just because it takes sharper and better pictures and works better in poor light

All you people are also forgetting that the people who were shouting out for a FF said it was so they could use their OLD LENSES from the film days Now they've changed Can't blame Pentax for that

It's already been reported on other forums that the KP was intended to replace the K3ii. They have since changed their mind and have started on another APS-C, but it's not known if it will be a KPii or a K3iii released next It won't be ready until at least 2019

I have little faith in their marketing if they thought the KP would suffice as the top APS-C model.

The new K1ii is improved for taking better photographs which is upsetting to quite a lot of people

Can't the TIFFS be compressed? Try Ziping or Raring them.

To make sure that the centre of the target is in line. Tie a piece of string to the tripod column and pull it through the centre line of the target. Twist the target until it lines up.
