My sincere apologies Stub, I must have got the wrong impression. As for the range, Pentax and Leica are the only brands offering three distinct formats with lenses to suit and you know which of those has the larger range. It is a relatively small company with a large field to cover. The range is good although there are a couple of gaps, but at least there aren’t any real crocks.

Stub, you are obviously justifying the reasons you have changed brands, but I fail to understand why you are still posting negative comments here unless deep down you still need to convince yourself.

Rob, your totally wrong in your comment. I havent changed brands. Probably never will. I am a loyal Pentax user. Never having owned another brand. I have no desire to change brands,. But what I do want is for the brand I do support. Is to keep pace and offer a range.Stub, you are obviously justifying the reasons you have changed brands, but I fail to understand why you are still posting negative comments here unless deep down you still need to convince yourself.

Well it won't affect the average Pentax user since Pentax isn't supported.
P.S terrible name.
No surprise there really... A Mobile with AI is also a little lighter and easier to manage than a K1 with 15-30 attached..Well it won't affect the average Pentax user since Pentax isn't supported.

Its all about What Pentax now cant offer.... "Choice" Speaking in full frame terms.. They now after approx 3 years just about have a range Put together. (Still no 85mm 1.4 for portraits) But in most cases only one option. So you have to pay the price like it or lump it.
Seems difficult to see what the Ricoh strategy is going forward at this time. With little investment going in for a business of this size. Marketing low. How they plan to build the business back to what it once was...? But apparently 2019 is a big year so we await the fireworks.
I dont see recoating an old lens leaving the aperture ring on. and forgetting to add WR as an answer...?
More like are we now just a Niche brand, or a cheaper halfway house market...?

No point in paying extra for f/1.4 most cameras can't see beyond f/1.7 or f/1.8 and the transmission (T-STOP) is usually around f/1.7 anyway...

I use Kase 82mm 10 stop filter. No light leakage from the screw ins. No colour cast. In the top quality filter bracket. Dumped the Zomei filter for this. when I changed to FF and needed 82mm filters, Far better quality.

There's also the Nikon Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S Lens but that's £849 so the Pentax one is actually too cheap.

We'll have the DA35 2.4, HD35 2.8 and soon a DFA35 2. None of these quite compete with some other systems. Look at the 35 1.8 from Nikon. It is a decent lens at a good price and it is fast.
I'm not complaining about the difference between 2 and 1.8, more the price!
