Both Sigma and Tamron are in a difficult situation.
The decline in DSLR sales has meant a decline in Sigma and Tamron sales.
Mirrorless cameras are barely supported by third party lens makers, so neither manufacturer has made up the sales.
Sigma and Tamron are doomed.

Pentax A50mm2.8 macro....According to the vendor, this item belonged to her late father and the box was unopened....I have just received it ,untested, and it does look new or unused , came with its case and strap is still in its packaging.
Also from the same vendor a A28MM2.8.....this must have had some use , came with a Hoya filter attached in an OSAWA lens case.

I think the video specs will improve once Pentax bring out a M/L camera.
They have provided head autofocus in live view for a number of years . I am sure they can easily add this feature to an EVF ,should they release a M/L.
Don. hang onto your Pentax glass , their may be use for it.

I have checked camera price buster.
This lens is not made in E mount or X mount .
IN fact there is only 1 sigma zoom lens in E mount .
The Fuji X mount is not supported at all. So much for Fuji shooters complain about the lack of third party support.
Other brands also lack support, from Sigma.

I don't get the 'hip' vibe from Pentax so in my mind that's the reason they're lagging so far behind their competitors in the market. The products they come up with are brilliant in many ways but they really don't advertise or push them in the way that the big few can/do.
I was browsing articles looking for good slow motion cameras and I discovered the Sony RX100 range - they release new models pretty regularly and to me it seems as though people buy them in the same way they buy iPhones and gadgets. That's the power of marketing. Their RX100V has an excellent lens with low light capabilities yet they released their next model VI with more of a superzoom style lens that's slower. And still they sell very well.
There are two many negative posts about Pentax cameras , even amongst Pentaxians .I don't get the 'hip' vibe from Pentax so in my mind that's the reason they're lagging so far behind their competitors in the market.

People should focus on the positive side and benefits of Shooting Pentax.
The online marketing of Pentax cameras needs to improve.
I wonder what the ratio of sales between bricks and mortar / online are.

A partnership with Olympus or another company may be a good idea.Sony have just sold the last of their Olympus shares, so they may be opportunity their.
Retaining the K mount may give Pentax the USP.."Unique Selling Proposition. they need to get ahead .
FF ML camera bodies may be reasonably priced , ...The lens most definitely are not.

Rather than buy a light meter and regret the purchase. I thought that a light meter app may be a safer and economical purchase.
There seems to be a few , but I cannot distinguish between good and average.
I do not expect the app to be as good as a dedicated light meter , but it is a start.
I do not mind paying for the app.
As for the sake of a couple of pounds , I prefer the full version of the app, and without the constant messages to upgrade.
I am on the iOS platform.
If anyone has any experience , they care to share.this is appreciated.
