I fail to see the purpose of this thread.  You may not be a troll but you are not adding anything positive to the community, either.  Frankly, I suspect troll but will give you the benefit of the...

Is your K5 broken?  Have you had problems?I also own the K5 and a bunch of lenses.  I haven't had any problems with it so your post doesn't hurt my feelings or even seem all that relevant to me.The...

I picked up a Samyang 14mm f2.8 and have been using it, instead. The Samyang is a touch better on sharpness and I like the smooth output. The DA14 is still very good, though.I prefer an MF lens...

You can improve your architectural shots with a panorama head. Once you have the head set up, you will be able to create near perfect perspective with spectacular quality, as compared to what...

My K100D has been mounted to a panorama head for the last 4 years. The K100D will continue to be relevant for me until I replace my K5. That replacement might be the K5IIs but that decision has...

I love my two Sigma lenses, just as I love my Samyang and Pentax lenses.My favourite lens is the DA21L. It's hardly the best lens technically but I love the FOV and the K5/21L kick out images that...

Nice shots.

Amen!

I hope this is real. If so, I am relieved to see a post Ricoh camera with good styling.

My Samyang 14mm is one of the sharpest lenses I own. It's sharper than my Pentax DA14.Something is wrong. For a while, my K5 was cranking out garbage images. Ultimately, the solution was to turn...

It's pretty obvious that a lot of Pentax enthusiasts would like to see a full frame camera. I wonder how many of us would actually buy one, were one to exist. I haven't been calling for one but...

I'm pretty sure the Pentax SMC DA* Series 16-50mm f/2.8 ED AL IF SDM and Pentax SMC DA* Series 50-135mm f/2.8 ED IF SDM are SDM lenses. Call it a hunch.Here is a quote from the product...

For some reason, I'd like to see Pentax create an FF camera. It's hard to say I would buy it, though. I might.Most of my lenses would be irrelevant on FF. On the other hand, I would imagine my...

I too love the DA 21 FOV. Great choice.I don't have the FA 43 but I have the DA 40 and I find it pretty much useless. It's not that it doesn't produce terrific IQ but it's not a useful FOV for...

I picked up a few older Pentax lenses and I had about a dozen older lenses. I haven't used any of them in as long as I can remember. None of them are up to Samyang quality and they cost a lot...

I've never tried running down both together. I leave it set to run down the grip first and then the camera and I've never gone through a charge in one shooting.What I'm saying is, I don't need a...

I love my K100D and don't mind the handling. The exposure performance is very good, even by today's standards.The K100D falls down on a tiny buffer (3 x RAW and I think5 x JPG?). The K10 has a...
