Pentax have a camera that is considered one of the front runners in the APS-C segment, lots of products that appeal to the mass market too - the coloured variants are appealing to those who value style over substance, but those cameras deliver.

I do think that since the days of the K10D Pentax have a product that is on a par with Canikony, only the perception that the lens range is limited puts people off Pentax - how many EOS1200D or D3300 owners can afford a Nikkor/EF 400 f2.8?

Noone knows what is going to happen in 12-24 months - what I do see on other forums is a substantial number of FF owners ditching their kit and going for Panasonic/Fuji/Olympus, and there appears to be a high turnover of people buying the X-Pro1 for example and then trading it in for an XT-1. Pentax are in a good place

Amazing camera, beautifully designed but alas shortlived. I sold mine as it wasn't getting much use.

Welcome, Surrey based but I work in that hellhole called Bracknell...

love the dog shot

Didn't you have one already Mike? Or had?

Incredible images Alan... Now for that lottery win

RESIST RESIST

There's the odd FA*85 on sale here....nothing else matters

Can you get the title changed? - I assumed it was the AF F70-210 f4 from the header but the lens is an MF A70-210 f4...

Not tempted to spend a few days/weeks in Japan Mike? Mind you, I did see a lot of FA*200 2.8s for sale (for the equivalent of £500) in Tokyo in 2008 but that was it....I just left the shop a very contented owner of an FA77 Ltd. Surely there must be some out there in Tokyo, Osaka (Yodobashi is AWESOME) and Kyoto.....

The newer WR version too...
