I reached to another brand about 9-10 years ago, thinking Pentax were never going to bring out a FF camera...

Dismayed by the lack of any activity on the APS-C front apart from the 11-18 and updates to older lenses I wondered if Pentax were ever going to properly replace the K-3...As I have 2 parallel Pentax systems I decided to stick with the K-1 and sell the K-3 and DA*/SA stuff - there seems to be no market for Pentax gear at the moment.

Yes, I have the K-1 (and when funds permit - see above) stick with just D-FA glass rather than a mish mash of FA* and DA*... I love the camera, joy to use. Different to the D810....

Ricoh rep assures me there should be something later this year,,,,

As the K-3 has sold, these lenses are now surplus and are still for sale:

Samsung Schneider Kreuznach SA 12-24 lens - only difference to the Pentax DA are the cosmetic stuff and branding. Performance identical. The Samsung didn't come with a soft case but since I bought one independently (Pentax branded) it is included in the sale. No box.

£300

Pentax DA*16-50 - I've had this since 2007! It's on its' 3rd SDM motor. It has not been modified to screwdrive. The last replacement was done by Asahi Photo in Brentford, who take more care with the QC of their supplied replacement motors. Lens is in excellent condition. Case and box, plus caps and lens hood.

£325

Pentax DA*60-250 f4. Owned since 2010. Marvellous lens, absolutely criminally underrated. On motor No.2. Not been inclined to remove the baffle to allow it unrestricted full-frame use. Excellent condition apart from signs of wear on tripod collar knob and tripod foot. Boxed, with caps, hood and case.

Asking £450
