I've just done a little clean up of this thread from where the conversation deviated from the discussion of particular lenses. Additional posts that I felt were also borderline were left intact as...

Working fine here......typed this reply from our daughters Surface RT tablet.

Deleted my PPG account when they redesigned the site. Much preferred the original PPG site which was more showcase of Pentax photographers and images.

Typo here on the focal range?

"There's no denying that the 14-35mm is a pretty large lens"

I've cleaned up the thread from where it went off topic.Try and play nice with the other kids.

And thats what confuses me about the modern Pentax John.I mean why do they persist with the strategy of only competing in niche markets?We can acknowledge that their future market share in the FF...

Maybe so, but with FF DSLR"S becoming more affordable each year it's a growing market.Problem is that being late to market, (again), has no real advantage for Pentax and they'll struggle to...

You know what?I think my worst fear is that they cock it up and disappoint those of us who just want a traditional FF DSLR in K-mount.

Although close to bordering on brand bashing, this appears to be a reasonable discussion up to this point.Feel free to continue the discussion but be mindful of the forum rules on antagonistic...

Gratz on another cover BenThe image isn't what I'd normally expect to see from you but I guess the customer gets whatever makes them happy.

Leave it alone Barry.

Imagine how bad Canon RAW's would look if not for on chip NR.

As you well know, all RAW's have NR applied on chip so why bother differentiating off chip NR?

Thats funny Juck.

The toy camera system has better IQ than the real camera systems.

Good job DXO

Always good to have more solid performance data.

More detailed than this guys macros? http://www.flickr.com/photos/opoterser/ He uses a Pentax K-x at the moment -- Zooms? pfffft!

Interesting to read John's responses but as an aside, I think Pentax will eventually release a FF body, (market direction will dictate this), and we'll all be sitting here scratching our heads...

FF is different to APS-C.I would like the FF body to complete to complement my existing APS-C equipment and have the choice of format I want to use at the time. -- Zooms? pfffft!

Which Canon or Nikon f5.6 primes are priced at $7K ?Yes if this was an f4 then I'd expect it to be around this price mark but slower lenses, (and f5.6 is slow for a prime), are designed to be more...
