But why oh why not f1.8, Phillip??! You'd want a nicely defocused background on your shots of the perspiring Clooney, wouldn't you?

What is the problem exactly? I always found the manuals tools me everything I needed to know from a camera operating point of view.

I do know what you mean, Richard - I find my Sigma Superwide 24mm a perfect for street whereas the 21mm felt a bit wide (without being emphatically, proudly wide like the DA15mm!)

I like his use of flash though... gritty!

TI just wish Pentax had a 23 or 24mm DA lens (35mm FOV equiv. in FF)…and that I would abide by rules nos. 9 and 13.

If you mean a 23/24mm equivalent lens, there's the DA14mm and the DA15 ltd. (Excellent street lens!) If you mean an actual 23-24mm lens, the DA21mm ltd is pretty close and another great street lens.

I agree Jon. The K3 plus a prime or two would make a nice compact DSLR set up, without needing to invest in a second body. Beyond that, a quality compact for travelling really light would make sense.

I love the second shot! The two images show where the ultrawide distortion is not so great (shot 1) and where it can be used to great effect (shot 2).

What pentax should do is release a Sony NEX sized machine with the K-5 sensor. Even more compact thanthe K-01

The flange distance dictated the brick like dimensions of the K-01 (although I'm sure they could give it a mild nip & tuck). To get to NEX size you are looking at using adapters.

I would like Pentax to make the MX-1 with a 1" sensor similar to the RX100. Such a camera is easy to keep on you at all times and is close to DSLR quality.

I have the RX100 and it's awesome; I just wish it had the superior form-factor and design of the MX-1....
