If you can't see *anything* through the viewfinder you are always going to struggle to make a decent picture, unless I guess you're doing star trails... in which case, check out your location first to find a good vantage point or be there at dusk to set up the shot. No excuse for sloping horizons with a built in level! (Lol).

My first comment - it looks pretty damn disgraceful.

But it claims to be more rugged (it's got an aluminium body , is crush proof and more 'dive resistant') and has GPS, which is an ideal feature for a companion to outdoor adventuring.

The styling is really not my cup of tea at all, but it looks like a 'really serious effort' from Pentax. Let's hope the noise is under control.

I hope so Yves. I think their cameras always looked interesting, but Foveon never really seems to have generated much interest.

... Except Sigma mount, John.

Perhaps they'll reserve these for their ailing range of DSLRs.

Ah, but Pentax had their own bodies for K-mount lenses.

In the short term perhaps, but 'flooding the market' with 4/3 lenses would strengthen the position of the brands with 4/3 bodies.

Are C-mount too small for APSC? Saw a c-mount Pentax television camera lens advertised on ebay for use on a Sony NEX...

The 645D looks more of a field camera... WR, SLR style operation. One for the Joe Cornishes.

The Mamiya looks better for studio (supports tethering).

Did you see my correction and link to FA Ltds in silver????

Maybe me, since I've been around for years.

Best regards
It's so much fun to correct someone though

These are lovely. Perhaps just the mildest boost of contrast and levels, without destroying the misty atmosphere.

Knew aboutl the FA ltds of course, but I thought the silver DA ltds were new.
