This is an extract from the link. It could be that Canon’s statistics are wrong.

“Pentax is making cameras for an incredibly niche audience at this stage. As Canon told me earlier this year, DSLRs only account for 10% of camera sales these days, which is about 700,000 units – and some 620,000 of those are sold by Canon.
If we're very generous and say that the remainder is split evenly with Nikon, that means there are only 40,000 Pentax DSLR customers.”

Amazed by the statistic of Pentax having a user market of 40,000. That assumes it is not winning any market share from other makers or existing users upgrading eventually.

I am always a fan of high contrast BW.

The rig in that link looks like something from the mad professor's lab!

These look very good. I would not have said there was a TC involved. Can I ask how was focusing - follow focus or pre-focused on a particular spot?

My apologies, I somehow misread your post. I was thinking whether you would add rubber feet to the rig or some other isolation but you have made it super-rigid instead.
