  • Commented on Pentax reveals K lens roadmap for 2012 and 2013 news story

    DA Limited Zoom??!! DA Limited Zoom! DA Limited Zoom!

    Not quite sure what the 'standard' lens means either. It's not a 50mm 'standard' lens as DPReview states. If you look closely, it's lined up...

  • Commented on Pentax reveals K lens roadmap for 2012 and 2013 news story

    DA Limited Zoom??!! DA Limited Zoom! DA Limited Zoom!

    Not quite sure what to make of the DA* ultra zoom either. From the markings on the chart, it almost looks like a 24-80. Pretty useless for...

  • Replied in K-01 Isn't for most on this forum
    I agree. People need to realize that not everything Pentax puts out is meant for them. Wait a few months for the K300, maybe that'll be more to your liking. Just by the looks alone, I think...
  • Replied in The worst mirrorless APS-C camera ever: Pentax K-01!!!
    Personally, I wish it did have an EVF, I also wish it didn't look so quirky. But then again - what about all those people that bought a Sony NEX? Last time I was at a popular touristy beach in...
  • Replied in The worst mirrorless APS-C camera ever: Pentax K-01!!!
    1. The only mirrorless to have (way) more than 4 lenses ready to be used without needing an adapter (though AF speed is still a question) at launch 2. Outside of the Fuji X-Pro1, and possibly...
  • Commented on Pentax announces K-01 K-mount APS-C mirrorless camera news story

    Assuming one does get past the quirky aesthetic - the biggest question to me is actually AF speed.

    Size is a minor issue - yes, it isn't as small as other MILC's - but one must also keep in mind...

  • Commented on preview

    The 18mm f/2 looks good - nice, wide, fast and small-ish. Perfect for street photography. Though I wonder just how much smaller this set-up is going to be compared to say a Pentax Kx/Kr + any of...

  • Replied in overpriced short telephoto primes
    Sometimes, it's all a case of thinking it's greener on the other side. Funny really, when I was shooting Nikon I had the 85mm f/1.8 and I so WISHED I had the DA70. I mean, a short tele that's no...
  • Commented on Ricoh GR Digital IV Preview preview

    Too many people commenting here seem to just be comparing zooms vs primes.

    As anyone who has actually used the GRD III will tell you, you'll find that the S95 and other top compacts don't even...

  • Replied in Sony got it right this time (shock!)
    Perhaps I am just part of a niche, who knows. Of course, I could have taken it with the Sony 16 f/2.8. But at what cost, a shutter speed that is too slow to freeze movement, or a higher ISO...
  • Replied in Sony got it right this time (shock!)
    f/2 isn't just for bokeh porn. And at this FL, that is obviously not what it was designed for. I shoot street, most of it with a 23mm equivalent f/4 lens APS-C lens, and 80% of my shots don't...
  • Replied in Oly 12mm f2 - Not for me
    I find this lens to be perfect for me. In fact, I find this lens to be the perfect embodiment of what m43rds should be. Price isn't really obscene. Of course it would be better if it were...
