Once we stray away from the Pentax bodies, we lose one of the nicest Pentax features, that wonderful colour reproduction. I do understand that from time to time we could feel tempted by a fantastic array of alternative makes, but every time I've come back to Pentax.
The GR is a great camera, but limited by its 18.3mm lens. The Pentax MX-1 is so much more versatile and intuitive to use, albeit it with a smaller sensor.

One of the important things with regard to handling is that the Pentax 645 and 67 models all operate the same way as the 35mm and DSLR bodies. The lens aperture rings turn the same direction, as does the manual focusing and, where applicable, the shutter speed dial. This is vital when working under pressure and it's worth remembering that Pentax, Nikon and Bronica all operate the same way round. All the other makes operate in reverse.

Star systems are always a bit contentious, but the value for money rating was based on the price at the time the test was done. It was me that did that rating and I based it on the current SRS price at the time, which is the price we would all actually have paid. The price that was quoted was decided by someone else, so didn't come into my equation. Hope that helps clarify it a little!

If we include writing in an image, then the viewer will stop and read it. Then the message becomes the dominant feature of the image, rather than the visual image. Usually, words that can be read clearly will detract from a pictorial image.

So many cameras.....but probably the one I'd like to have kept is my Pentax MX.
