I concur with MPrince. See my experiences with Pentax's weather sealing here I just got the 18-135 for hiking (as it's much smaller and lighter than the DA* 16-50+50-135). I confirm the "suction"...

I have personally owned and used heavily the K-7, K-30, K-5, and K-5 IIs. Not ONCE have I EVER had ANY flap or door open without my purposefully doing so. *EVER*. Over the course of several years...

"It must go up, never down." Please reread everything I had said. I am not looking for artificially inflating scores "just because." I am championing accuracy. I have said it multiple times that...

I apologize if you felt that way, as I was merely being candid - a quality of mine I admit I am reminded is not often welcome. Regardless, if you felt insulted/disrespected, it would have behooved...

I agree entirely with everything you said, however I felt that while my tone was/is aggressive (a tendency of mine at times, I admit), it was never insulting. In the event I am in similar...

Can we not be adults and identify by name? You mean (mostly) me. The inability to candidly call out DPR for its inability to perform a timely (and to a much worse degree) accurate review is a shame...

Apparently it's me that doesn't get it. Apparently I am the only one that considers this imaginary Joe Average who has no idea what ISO and RAW are. This made up guy that skips to the last page of...

I prefer objectivity. I prefer integrity and competence. I am invested in Pentax well more than I ever thought I would be and than most people are. But I appreciate an honest review that gets it...

(cont. from above)

Features? You mentioned (albeit hastily) the sensor shifting for composition adjusting and the astro tracer (you failed to mention how cheap the O-GPS1 is for what it offers -...

You're underthinking it.

"with new cameras and many conflicting priorities." That's exactly what has been said - Pentax is given the priority of red-headed stepchildren.

"As for the K-5 II's...

"...there is literally no good zooms for the system."

Clearly you've never touched the DA* 16-50 or DA* 60-250. Also, the 16-45, although just recently discontinued, is still a fantastic lens that...

Don'tleave out Pentax if you want some great value for your dollar and incredible features and IQ ;) From Amazon (each one is linked directly, so just click on the name of the item - I did all the...

Tom, Thank you for the compliments, and the link to your site! If I may, I'd recommend removing a few links that aren't being used. The Blog comes to mind first since you aren't using it. It would...

Thank you everyone, really appreciate the compliments. I am working on getting the deployment series back, but don't hold your breath for anything soon... And glad someone took notice of the...

I finally got around to creating my website - something I told myself I would do when I got back from Afghanistan. Alex Jansen Photography Please take a visit, and I would like for you to be very...

This is a video done by professional photographer Kerrick James. Superbly done, and if you are new to the world of interchangeable lenses, give yourself the 6 min to see it through. If not for the...
