Sold 9 Pentax lenses on Ebay last week (most of my APS-C glass and a few older ones) ... still got a few to go although I am keeping the high end full frame stuff for the K-1.

I have said that I won't buy anymore Pentax glass as they aren't bringing out any bodies that interest me but I see Laowa have just announced their 100mm f/2.8 x2 macro in Pentax mount which has got me reaching for my Paypal pot of money.

Not saying I agree with all of it, but it seems within a range of reasonable views to hold.

But I sense I'll be in a minority!
In the minority of die hard Pentax users perhaps but probably not the general camera owning community.

I do think his last sentence is a total exaggeration though because I'm pretty sure Pentax doesn't have an advertising budget to begin with.

For sale is the last of my APS-C lenses, the 17-70mm f/4. I purchased this new from Jessops some years ago and unlike a lot of these lenses the focus has been 100% perfect since day one. It is in excellent condition and comes with hood/caps in it's box

£175 including UK postage.

I was reading about this yesterday, it doesn't support DC/SDM lenses yet but they are saying it will in the future via a firmware update.

Must say I would find it slightly ironic if the Sony focused faster with a Pentax lens than an actual Pentax body, already it seems it can use all focus points and eye tracking on a sony.

1.6 million ISO. Well there is another thing for other brand users to beat Pentaxians with on DPR.

I would be jumping for joy if I got that amount for the old APO version, it's nowhere near as good as the last one they made for Pentax which has optical stabilisation.
