The boys over the pond seem very excited. One commented that it will be unique as a FF DSLR with in body IS. If the DSLR were changed to 35mm format it suddenly isn't unique. Sony beat us to that.

If it is launched at the end of the year it’s still a way off. I would have been much happier with Easter or around that time. The other side of it means that the new lens prices may have dropped by the time the body is available.

Best regards

So the UK prices are out. They are competetive and fit in the right ball park as they can only drop after some time.

Thaks for the update Chris.

Is that rain or sensor dust on the last shot? Carl
Rain, and since the Sigma 10-20 is not impervious to the stuff it was time to call a retreat. One gent died on that night, hit by lightning whilst out with his dog. They found him the next morning with the dog still sat at his side. Quite sad really.

All comments appreciated.

After much deliberation I have placed an order for one of these.

I've been struggling to keep a "level head" using a standard heavy duty ball head. It gets excellent reports and is of very high quality.

A 70-200mm f/2.8 is a standard weapon of choice for thousands out there. It actually works very well on APS-C and even better on FF. I smiled at the "me too" comment.

This is really simple, for those that don't want a Pentax FF DSLR or a Pentax 70-200mm f/2.8, don't buy them.

Time will tell and if a FF is announced at CP+ then it is no bad thing. Even better if a new "kit" lens is also announced with it (just to keep Algi happy).

Best regards

Optech strap looks the best value.
Does this sling preclude the use of a rucksack?
Does it come with enough straps for two cameras?
Would you hang a 645 on it?
If I'm using the Z and 645N II together, I still use my Sunsniper dual harness. No worries about hanging them on it. The ball bearing couplings are superb.
