KO perhaps in boxing 🥊

For naming the Pentax flagship crop body, that might be a bit too close to the K-01 - regarded as a marmite camera, loved by some Pentaxians but generally considered ill-conceived by others.

If Pentax do get it right and release the best APS-C camera at its price point, then K-A would seem appropriate.

The recent Pentax DSLRs have articulated screens, so it would seem ludicrous not to include the feature in a new flagship body. After the techno-gymnastics of the K-1's screen, it wouldn't be unreasonable to consider that the Ricoh-Pentax engineers might have produced a neat and ingenious flush-mounted pop-out articulated screen, perhaps released by the top-left button.

.....my analogue friend points out that the regular pattern of digital pixels can never truly replicate the random nature of particles in film.

Rob, I don't know how relevant or significant this is in a print:- when I look at one of my HP inkjet printed photos through a powerful magnifier (20X), the tiny spots of ink (typically from droplets of 4 picolitres each) have the appearance of being pretty randomly placed on the paper.

Exploring the shapes and patterns in the first is interesting and enjoyable, but the background is distracting.

Would this work - set up two adjacent User Modes, one for a bright live view (wide aperture + slow shutter) and the next for your flash exposure (small aperture + fast shutter). Use the first to frame your shot, then one click of the mode dial and take the shot.

The 2nd one is also my choice - the light vignette works well. The black frames seem rather heavy, even in the 3rd - either a very thin line or none at all for me.

I really like the very attractive mono tones in these nicely composed images - well-processed.

(Just one little niggle that often gets to me - I would have to straighten the verticals in 1 and 4!)

The 17-70 and 16-85 seem too bulky for me on the K-70 and KP. The 18-135 is lighter and more compact, but also more versatile for a one lens only option. Despite some of the comments in this thread, my guess would be that the 18-135 would generally be the most logical and popular choice of a one lens only zoom for Pentax APS-C users.

I see, Jonathan.

Perhaps if you were able to use a KP for several days, those concerns might melt away, due to its other strong features and benefits! To document just one of them - for me, moving from the one e-dial of the K-r to the two of the K-5 was a big step forward in control; now the KP, with its three user-setup e-dials, can give easy instant access to all three sides of the image triangle.

But as always, of course - to each his own.

Cheers.
