Yes, Pentax have covered the full frame lens range. But you missed a vital word... "Choice"... With Pentax. Primarily you've got one lens covering each length.. But its the best they can produce. So its going to be expensive. Take it or leave it.. I love my K1 and lenses and certainly wont be giving them up any time soon.. But I dont like to see the brand dwindling in customers, but easy to see why it is...

If they dont need to enter the mirrorless market because they cant create a large enough market share. Why did they enter the full frame market ? They could have gone for it whole heartedly with the APSC market..

Love these.. Fabulous stuff. No 4 Just makes me want to get my fishing rods out...lol
But you cant really get it wrong with a Pentax. Its a camera renown for landscape after all.......lol Sorry just a joke at a different thread... I'll leave the building right away....!!

Isnt the Motor cycle market all but Japanese these days... And Harley Davison in the USA... With Triumph all but playng at it. to get grants to stay alive.. BSA in the UK museum's. Kinda proves my point. The ones who inovated and advertise are still around.

A camera that is cheaper in the camera shop becauase it truely only does Landscapes, apparently...!!

Lots of folks dealing with historic loyalities.... and should see the real picture as it is pardon the pun...

I think what we also have to consider here is what is Pentax's stance to all this ? Wether we like it or not ( I don't) video is starting to be an equal part the market. Not only DSLR but drones. Bloggers and youtubers are getting plentyful. The Pentax reaction to this on their latest flagship K1 II is a pretty non descript video offering. As if to say well its here if you must !

Mirrorless is becoming a predominent player. With new offerings from Sony Canon and Nikon.. Pentax nothing,, as yet !! Or is the KP an acceptable alternative ?

Pentax seem to want to concentrate on photography only. Nothing wrong with that. Then why not improve the standard of their photographic cameras. To the best in the marketplace. Bring the auto focus speed up to a more acceptable level for instance. Recently we have seen the introduction of more full frame high quality lenses. Great.!! But not before time. Lets face it the K1 has really only survived by the back up of old lenses in their back catalouge. Something which Pentax originally claimed shouldn't be used. Because the introduction of new offerings was far too slow.
A flash system that stands on its own. And very much alone in the marketplace.
With what is seemingly the loss to Pentax of the larger third party manufacturers. Its difficult to see how they attract new customers, younger customers to their market.
This is starting to sound like a rant.. It isnt.. Maybe just stating the obvious. I have used Pentax cameras for many years. Infact Ive never used anything else. I personally have no need to move away. But is it not time for Pentax to come out and make their position clearer.
Next year, will be a big anniversary year for Pentax. With hopefully big things on the horizon. The K3II needs an upgrade. The K1 still needs more lenses. Is the KP an alternative to mirrorless ? Or is a new offering in this market planned. Are they going to play the video game ? So lots of questions still to be answered.

Credit for the "wild" shot..

Very nice part of the world. And well captured John..

If what you require isnt available. It leaves you little choice !! As has been mentioned dont leave us altogether and nip back in from time to time..

Lovely images from a beautiful part of the world...

Well done Its nice of you to show us northeners "Darn sarf"...
