Google this, it will be a new FF compatible lens available in Pentax mount.

Thought they might have made a bit more effort to dress a bit smarter, or does the vicar thinks he has good street cred? This is Essex, after all!

Thanks for this, just tweaked mine which hopefully will help as I have been finding manual focus not very sharp. Also there is a difference in setting when wearing glasses which I sometimes take off.

Thanks John, not really what I wanted to hear but probably what I expected! As I have been using it on a K50, and on occasion got sharp shots, it will be interesting to see what happens with a K-1. I expect the sensor will be a real test for a lens.

Did you peel off the wallpaper to improve the lighting?

A slight deviation and possibly covered elsewhere, but has anyone compared the Sigma 150-500 1:5-6.3 APO HSM? I have one and really pleased but nothing to compare it with; one drawback is it's not WR. Would it be worth trading in for the 150-450 despite the slight loss in focal length?

Just noticed this on my K50 with 4x rechargeable AA batteries, using live view and a large Sigma lens both of which drain power fast. Charge level went right down after a few shots but now it's back to full. I do find that the Pentax battery is much better in this respect. Like the man says, always have a spare!

Don't watch this if you are of a sensitive disposition!

Thanks John; I have the old 28-80 f3.5-4.5 which would do, but the difference in focussing speed and quietness with the new lenses is amazing. Also, it hasn't got great reviews so I'm not sure it would do justice to the new camera. I will look out for the lens you mention but I confess to being very particular about condition!

Just looked on eBay - there are some FA* 28-70mm f/2.8 lenses from Japan listed from about £485 to £743 so they clearly retain value (for now).

I am also minded that the new lens prices will come down in a few months as instanced by the 150-450 telephoto.

Another edit! The Pentax Ricoh Imaging UK site has the new FA 28-105mm F3.5-5.6ED DC WR with an RRP of £499.99 but go to the store, and all retailer sites, it is £549.99. I have seen another instance of price boosting during this £130.00 off promo offer with up to £100 difference so not as good as it seems.

Thanks for the link, The Ricoh Imaging UK site still only has the old 2015 roadmap. Still, it looks as if you are right about some new primes which is welcome news but a shame there are no more new lenses this year unless they spring a surprise!
