I don't think it's just this forum.

You should see the comments on others about the pricing of the new Nikon D600
£1955 from Jessops or £1288 from B&H. Gotta love the UK prices.

Best regards

You've also heard the background chatter then?

Who bought the 600mm when it was still on the list?

Anyway, we'll see what the final price is, and I'm sure that Pentax will have done the numbers and will know how many to make and where the sales will be.
Until the AF is up to spec, long glass on the current range of Pentax bodies is wasted for fast action shots. Static subjects would be fine of course.

The same would probably apply were Pentax to produce a full frame camera
As I have said previously, I would by a Pentax FF body if they produce one. It would allow me to use the 28mm Shift and 15mm ultra wide as they were intended.

The 100mm polarising filter won't be cheap.

Best regards
It won't be necessary either - it comes with its own drop-in 40.5mm polariser.
I was referring to the hypothetical size of the filter needed on a 30mm f/1.0

My long Nikon lenses have drop in filters, so I'm already familiar with that principal.

A good set with plenty of detail.

I was there to cover a wedding. This was at a jazz festival that happened to be on over the same weekend. Now back to sunny Perth and looking forward to the start of the "events" season.

How many here would buy it if it only cost $3000?
Not me, it's too slow and I've already bought faster long glass along with the matching TC's.

Don't Sony have a specified lead time for other manufacturers to use their sensors ? And Nikon have a jump on everyone else ?

I thought it was Nikon could incorporate their new sensors 6 months after Sony introduce them in a model, followed by everyone else (inc. Pentax) another 6 months later ?
Look at this link

Maybe Nikon don't need to play second fiddle?
