Yeah, Miles, in addition to the things I mentioned, an articulating rear screen (and for mostly the same reason -- if I get on the ground, there better be someone around to help me back up!), and a...

Hmmmmmmmm, maybe this is what's taking Pentax so long to come out with new models... they went back in time and got busy taking pics of dinosaurs. Their pace is certainly "Jurassic." (Or would that...

MrLuffy, you say you're not interested in zooms because of the size... Well have you seen or tried the new Sigma 18-250 for Pentax? It weighs only about a pound (450 grams, or so), and is about...

LOL. I know what you mean, Paul, but from what I've seen with Pentax since I got "back in the loop" a couple years ago (and looked back a few years before at prior models), it doesn't appear (at...

I'm in the same boat as you, Miles. I'm sort of holding my breath, hoping whatever Pentax replaces the K-5II with is more of an upgrade and improvement than the K-5II was to the original K-5 (and...

Unfortunately, John, Consumer Reports is BY FAR the most useless waste of tree pulp every printed since the Gutenburg Bible. Why do I say that? Well, perhaps it's for the very reason they claim...

That's just TOO CUTE, Steeve!   Although I see only one pic (and your thread title referenced two), I'm plenty happy with the one I see (and I don't mind the OOF snout one little bit. I'm plenty...

Wow! That's only about 100 miles from me, here in Spartanburg, SC! Back in the mid-90s when I was co-owner/editor of a local weekly newspaper here I covered the then-owner of Grandfather Mountain...

John, one could EASILY make the same argument about magazines that run ads for the major camera makers (that they won't run negative reviews because it will hurt their bottom line). And as Simon...

They're beautiful pictures, even if the focus is a bit soft on them (actually I think it's more a case of the focal point being more on the flowers or leaves than directly on the butterfly)....

Quit dreamin'! They ain't gonna do nunna dat stuff... Never have. Never will. That's just how Pentax operates, I think. You have to be part of the "Secret Pentax Camera Society" in order to be a...

My experience with my Metz AF 50II is that I get fairly decent TTL results WHEN and ONLY WHEN I have the flash mounted directly on the hot shoe and pointed DIRECTLY straight ahead. When and if I...

It's one of the best, Ron -- far better than the original National Geographic channel for seeing wildlife shows, and the original NatGeo channel has sort of "devloved" into a lot of the more...

Ummmmmmmmmm, NOPE, which makes this all the more surprising to me. The ONLY Pentax lens I've seen reviewed in Popular Photography was the DFA 100 mm F2.8 Macro, which got a 9. I didn't know about...

Best of luck with those shots, Ron.   By the way, did you catch the recent show, "Hummingbirds, Jeweled Messengers," that ran on the NatGeoWild channel and was narrated by David Attenborough? It...

Wonderful pics, Mike, and interesting story. How can you tell that's a juvenile red-tailed hawk corpse? All I can tell is that it appears to be the skeleton of something with wings, lol. But since...

Dang, Ron, that's still incredibly sharp even at that huge resolution! You can actually see both the iris and the pupil in that bird's eye! Jeff

Thanks for the explanation on that, Dean. The odd thing to me is that even when I'm focusing with the EVF, I'll sometimes have a really sharp focus, and move to change my point of focus by just a...

OMG, Ron, the sharpness and color on that shot is INCREDIBLE!!! I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it. Even the crop was RAZOR SHARP! Using two TCs like that, most of us wouldn't figure you'd...

+1 Petreluk! It's so great seeing this comment come from someone OUTSIDE of the USA, as well. From what I've read, prices have long been higher outside the USA, so some of you feel we're just...
