hi just a quicky is any one going to the cosford air show

And chris as said at srs that if they made one like that he could sell them Like no business

However aside from what we personally want and need, we want Pentax to continue to exist, as well.[/quote]yes but they need to open there eyes see what is going on and act

as some one said you cant keep going on reputation

Just take photos stop moaning

--[/quote]but you are always moaning so when you stop moaning we know that we have to call the doctor because you are ill

that was a fair moan back then when they say its going to be releast and 18 month latter you are still waiting after the time they said it would be releast most of the main companys would say somthing not keep stum and then bring it out at nearly double the price off the competitors equivalent and as some body as already said you cannot trade on the reputation off the name there is a member on here that as moved brands and his keep rate as increased by 50% that is a huge increase

and to say this is a pentax users forum the people that run it are rather quiet also when it comes to finding things out i would have thought they would be pushing ricoh for more interviews and not just from local but from japan the big boys

but it seems that the big boys here are scared of ricoh as well

And I think in the next year or 2 that will be dropped from the tamron line up as they have already developed a new one but not in ok fit

You would be thinking of the q

[quote:3496ace15f="Mike-P"]If you aren't happy with the way Ricoh are going then vote with your wallet and change systems to one that does. Many many people have done just that and to be honest I think that has probably hit the brand quite hard, there have been a lot of very good photographers leave over the years and it's still happening.

i can rember when you could walk into any camera shop and ask for a lens in pk fit be it auto focus or manual and they would have one on the shelf
and the auto focus would work quickly and hold focus and here we are 20years on and they dont hold focus like they use to they use poor parts and when they go wrong they dont want to know with the lens moters
rumors have it wether it is true or not that they are useing the same moter from the 17/70 in one off the full frame lenses which cost in the region of 4 figuers

they can seem to get mediam format right but they cant get any thing else right
are they to scared to come out off there ivory towers and talk to the people that use them not the bloody tec boffins that havent got a clue like the bloody accountants which are ruining companys left right and center

sorry if im being a bit blut

so here we are in 2018 nearly half way through the year
tamron and sigma are bringing out new lenses at prices that you dont have to see the bank manager for
and what are ricoh/pentax doing to be honist sweet F A
there should be support for the pk fit with 3rd party lenses on par with the other 2 names but no
there should be big improvments in the pentax cameras no
infact there should be members off the ricoh /pentax team on this forum but no
so i think it may be time to move on

Ask a women lol
