Pentax developed the DSLR and continue to make the major breakthroughs. Simple...

Genuine question, what were the (say over the past 10 years) major breakthroughs?

Well, after giving this much thought, I have decided my Pentax User photographer of 2010 is bwlchmawr, yes, Andrew.

His consistent work has shown us what can be done by pure dedication. Only recently has Andrew moved up to a K10D. He practises a methodology that exemplifies what photography is about.

Kit does not matter. He has a shown through his images that the fundamental rules of photography stand firm, composition and exposure.

Subject matter is the DNA of the person behind the camera and as such, Andrew has his trademark.

His diverse collection of images that he has shared with us have his DNA.

Best regards to all, have a content and worry free Christmas, be happy, embrace the New Year and capture light.

The 31mm gets very close to an equivalent std focal length on a cropped sensor.
Maybe pentax new that?
Maybe they wanted a 70' FOV on a 35mm format?

The super telephotos like the SMC K 1000mm f/8 are listed in the catalogues of the time as coming with a wooden tripod. Has anyone ever seen one of these? Are there any photos on the web? I am just curious as I have never seen one and haven't had much luck finding an image of one via google.

Thanks, K.

I had the chance to use one back in 1987 in Al Jubail, Saudi. The guy in the shop was pushing hard to sell it so let me take it out onto the street with the tripod and take some "test" shots. There is a very slim chance that I still have the photo's.

Big beast, as seen in the photo on this thread. The tripod was very well made. Overall impression? Too big to be able to use and carry.

No I didn't buy it. Can't remember the price but all Pentax kit there was under half the then UK price.

Was it really that long ago?????

Best regards
