AF accuracy is certainly my #1 complaint with Pentax, but as many others, for most everything else it's the best available.

I always favour a good manual focus lens when I have the time to use it.

Does electronic equipment still have a legal minimum two year guarantee after Brexit? I know that's the case in Europe but now that the UK is out, are you down to just one year?

I think I've got one of those flashes somewhere (not the other paraphernalia though) but I've never used it.

You'd have thought Canon would have made a 28mm f2 lens by now for their users to save wrecking decent Pentax ones. The moral here must be to buy the right brand in the first place so you don't have to destroy a valuable, well thought of, lens!
The whole lever can be removed without too much difficulty I believe, which is then reversible and no need to damage anything. I've seen some K lenses for sale that have had the lever welded/soldered back on again.

Hi Kris.

I can take the Revuenon 50/1.7 off your hands. I have the f/1.4 version and wouldn't mind trying it's slower sibling.

How do we make our views known to the management at Pentax?
With our wallets.

I like the special editions, some of them look good and I think they raise awareness of the brand.

Wow, very interesting.

Summary: there will be six different versions of the K-3 III:

jet black finish
a version with a modified shutter release button
a monochrome model
a gunmetal version
and an Astro model

I loved the look of the original K-3 prestige in gunmetal grey, if I ever get a K-3 III then I'd love it to be that. Not sure what modification they want to make to the shutter button...

Is it really worth selling your first ever Pentax for 20 quid? I suspect you'll regret it even if you never use it again. The older models like this look beautiful on a shelf.

Cheers Kris and Paul I had a JJC eye piece here for the KR that I'm using and fits but it's slightly too deep so I have to lift it half off to be able to open the film door!

I'll take a look at the *IstD eye cup and see if it's shallower at the bottom
I have the JJC ones on my two Z1s and look at the extra depth as an extra protection against accidentally opening the film door.
