Looking for a good deal on the current flagship. No offers for the K5s please.

Also looking for that Sigma f1.8 lens. If anyone wants to let theirs go please let me know. No offers for the 16-50 DA* please (nothing against the lens, I know it's amazing, just a technical preference)

Thanks!

Title says it all, looking for this nice portrait lens. Open to any offers at a lower price than SRS's Black Friday deal at the moment. Let me know if you have one up for grabs.

Cool thanks for the info guys. Kinda what I expected. I'll hand it down in the family then.

So I have white K-30. The paint on the edges of the pop-up flash are a bit chipped, doesn't affect usability. However, the button which popped the flash up stopped working and eventually fell out and is missing. The flash still works, one just needs to ping it up using their nails or a credit card. The camera still works 100% and is in great condition otherwise. Boxed and comes with everything including the white non-WR kit lens. I'll post some pics in the next posts.

What should my asking price realistically be? Around £300? Less?

I only have one wish and if it is fulfilled, I will die happy. Pentax have such a great lineup of APS-C lenses, it would be a shame to see that go to waste so...

How about a 25MP full frame sensor 6144 x 4096 with a APS-C crop mode. In that mode, it essentially simulates a Super35 movie sensor that is 4096px across, ie DCI 4K. Super35 is very close to APS-C so the great APS-C lenses you already own can work very well here.

Imagine shooting 25MP stills in a studio or a wedding using (what I assume would be) the new 70-200mm f2.8 and then using the camera for 4k video in APS-C mode using a Sigma 18-35 f1.8!

I know Pentax wasn't really a leader in the video space but we just lost the APS-C megapixel race to Samsung and the NX1 does beautiful 4k so...

Pentax, please...?

I have shot loads of footage on my K-30 and my GF's K01, some even for professional work. They are essentially the same apart from the latter has focus peaking and a mic in port. I'll dig up some of the clips from online. Bottom line is that the video quality is extremely soft and if you set the custom image to a higher sharpness level, there is tonnes of ringing and haloing around lines. In order to get a better dynamic range, I try to simulate a flat image by reducing the saturation and contrast to their lowest levels and then grade then in post. This sensor clips highlights in videos REALLY easily so I would suggest under exposing most of the time (which is good as anything higher than ISO 800 in video mode is really noisy) and then adjusting in post. I have gotten pleasing results but it takes a lot of work.

Just snagged this. Awesome! Thanks.

Want to buy a Pentax K-01, preferably white and in excellent condition.

Let me know.
Thanks!

So my OCD has me looking to get this lens to complete my white camera set. If anyone has one of these and is looking to off load it let me know. I'll happily take it off your hands.

Does the teleconverter send the correct EXIF data? If it does, is the focal length correct? ie does 150mm on the lens save as 255mm?
