I tried the link but had no luck with the ads you mentioned, but I guess that’s because YouTube tailors their ads to your preferences!However you may want to take that link down after what I saw when I clicked on it ....

Edit: If I then click on the youtube link on the video it goes to Youtube and is fine ... weird.

Jules, I did say in my VERY LIMITED EXPERIENCE and notice I said nothing about AF aquiring the subject which has never been a problem for Pentax but the tracking has.

There's only one thing worse than an ex smoker and that's a born again Pentaxian (for the 3/4/5th time)

Took the camera out this morning, pictures not worth starting a thread for as it was dark and grey but it works well and it's nice to get some use out of the DA* 16-50mm again.
From my very limited use I still don't think that the tracking is anywhere as good as the Nikon D500/Canon 7D MKII and it's light years away from the mirorless cameras but I was expecting that anyway which is why I took so long buying the camera. As usual though, Pentax (Ricoh) have made a camera that is a pleasure to use.

I presumed it was because it came from Amazon warehouse.No folding screen? Why has no-one mentioned that before? Has anyone written to Ricoh?
To be fair it was advertised as Used - acceptable ... damaged box, small marks on top and rear screen.
Box is certainly damaged (held together with cellophane), the USB lead is missing but there isn't a mark on it and when I took a picture to check the shutter count the file read 00001 and I put it through the usual web page and it read 0 so it hasn't been used.

K-3 (III) just arrived so first thing was to check the body over, take a picture to check the shutter count and then update the firmware ... this one is on 1.01
11 Firmware updates in 12 months ... I have had every top end DSLR Pentax have made and I don't think I have had that many in total for all the cameras.
Bit suprised there is no charger and my back screen seems to be faulty because it doesn't move !!

Would be interested to hear what you think once used on aircraft. Could be exactly what we've been looking for this past decade.
I have always found the K-1 to be capable enough for airshows but I am after something that will keep up with birds in flight ... I have a Marsh harrier locally and the A9 I sold recently could track it easily ... I'm not expecting the same performance as the Sony but just locking on would be a major upgrade Mike-P wrote:

I'm guessing that you'll be using it at an airshow or two Mike? On another note I ordered a K-3 MKIII five minutes ago.
Would be interested to hear what you think once used on aircraft. Could be exactly what we've been looking for this past decade.

Still have my DA* 16-50 f/2.8, 50-135mm & 55-300mm PLM ... wish I hadn't sold the 20-40mm though.
