I have ( as I said) been using Pentax as long as practically anyone ... why on earth would I want to bad mouth them ...  BUT like Olympus / Fuji they are bothe  1/ Small players 2/ Genuine...

Seems o me the hyphen implies interchangeable lenses?

Sadly I think that Pentax may be doomed. I have used Pentax since my Spotmatic in the 60 s then an MESuper and an LX ... then 1st DS  then K200d and now a K5 ... Actually i think the K5 is a great...

I have had a system with Pentax K System ( now K5) and an LX5 for back up ... Never liked it. Didnt like the colours .....lack of  physical zoom etc.   The XF1 is Imho much better a camera .. it...

I have a Pentax K5 which I love but is bulky. I wanted a rangefinder "type" camera  with APSC and did not want a complete new system. So I bought recently the gorgeous Black X100 ..... I love it...

THanks for OP and also to Tecnoworld for your comments ...  I have a Pentax K5 and an Second Hand .. good X100 ... but I bought the Samsung 20 / 30 primes when they were ridiculously cheap ...and...

1/ I would also support using srs .. excellent !! 2/ Nothing beats looking through your old photos to see what FL you shoot ..... then buying ... so for instance I love my FA77 ... but rarely use...

I have just bought an X100 Black ... and am loving it .... Equipment now for me  Pentax K5 + Ltd Lenses X100 XF1 Love Fuji Colours and this set is a great example

New modes always look ex[ensive compared to old models ... just bought a Fuji X100 for 40% of cost of X100s ... its the way of things .. my plan will be to upgrade in 12-18m ... and if I buy the...

Got it ... excellent

I have a K5 and am in the process of selling my K200D and DS ... one biggish body is enough for me. I love the K5 and indeed have the DA21 ... its great but relatively slow.  BUT I have the X100...

A1212 looks really neat presumably that fits just the basic camera ??

Thanks guys .. but i really want a belt  attachment ... as I have a back pack on already ... and use two poles walking so thats the way to go .... I'll check out Lowe pros .. shame about the others...

I have just bought the vMOST beautiful camera in the world ... a shiny new Black X100 .... It is presented so wonderfully it is like being back in 1920 when good things were really well packaged...

I suspect ERic amongst others can answer tho for me .... it seems that many people are heralding the NEX6 with focus peaking as an ideal cheap body on which to use old Leica / Zeiss/ Voigtlander...

Nice .... and I would point out a new member ....  tread softly for you walk on my dreams

The reason I have asked this is that JJC claim it acts as a cap and also stops flare ...and if so would be ideal because I would like to walk with it in a belt pouch rather than the leather bag...

I foind the cap on my LX5 drove me mad and I foind the JJC opening cap very effective ... I have searched for  comments on this forum for  views of it on the X100 .. I would be grateful for feedback

Well I have a K5 ... which I love and a little XF1 which fits in my pocket ... But the X100 / 100s are the perfect small big sensor cameras ... So for me  Buy an X100 now ... for ?£500 .........
