Look at the dreadful way she is holding the camera. That portrayal doesn't do female photographers any favours

A famous name from the past superseded by more modern and faster offerings, yes it's Flying Scotsman.

A Pentax FF for 1500.

(Pence! - A used MZ6 for £15 from the Disabled Photographers charity stall)

Surprised that more people haven't mentioned the FA 50mm f1.4.

I think I would get fed up of carrying a K1 + 24-70. It seemed a very heavy combination at the NEC Ricoh stand. The 28-105 was more tolerable.

I preferred the balance/weight of another marque's FF body and 24-120.

I still don't see the usefulness of a grip, because with a bigger lens, don't you support the camera/lens combo mainly with your left hand under the lens?

Left hand below the centre-of-gravity of the ensemble and light touch with right hand around the grip/shutter button.

(Sorry - just seen John 's and David's post making the same point while I was writing)

Don't forget with a big grip, you look more "pro"!

(Never used or aspired to one myself).

Two super lenses, available in Pentax fit soon.

the 15 is already here john was playing with one today it was intresting to see that the canon fit was 20 grams hevier

It includes a special system to compensate for having a sensor with very poor dynamic range

More likely they jettisoned the stuff that keeps moving subjects in focus on the Pentax version.

I enjoyed a chat with Bill as I passed on one of the demo K1s at the NEC today and took the chance to back up David's suggestion of a Sheffield event at a later date.

We've been at the NEC all day.

Was it a good day and did you spot anything interesting?

Liked the train set on the Ricoh-Pentax stand apart from the two trains running in the wrong directions round the ovals of track. Good opportunity to get hands on kit and Pentax crew knowledgable and helpful.

Bought a Pentax full frame for '1500' - an MZ6 to replace the one I lost just after Christmas; £15 from the Disabled Photographers Society.
