Yes, it might be the case that it's still us geezers shooting with real cameras. I am guessing that Pentax went with colors for the Q and K-50 to draw in some younger photographers, who are,...

Manufacturing capabilities with respect to color - K-3 in silver or black - surely must be well-established given the K-50 rainbow choices.

Maybe it toggles functions on the 4 directional buttons to move spot focus around . . .

Thank you for staying alive through the various changes in company ownership, and through the tsunami disaster in your country that affected all businesses. It is clear that you present us now with...

Yes, blue would be selecting which card in in playback mode.  But white mode on that button doesn't look like an SD toggle.   Something else . . .

. . . or is is a dial to slide those curved frames in and out to close the viewfinder to stop light from affecting metering when shooting remote?   THAT would be helpful.

With Ricoh on the back, K-3 might well be the last big release with PENTAX proudly on the front . . .

Whoa!  NOW we're talkin'!

. . . or the old SMC or F/FA clip-on's (not generic -- if you're a Pentaxian since the MX days, you DO want it to say Pentax, don't you)?   I use my 49mm polarizer too much to use the hoods, so my...

That trendy couple doesn't know what a Pentax is.  They're just noodling with an antique that was sitting on a shelf in the lodge.  They think that it might take film . . .

I agree that new viewfinder screens don't accommodate manual focus much.  You have live view as an alternative, and I think some screens can be replaced.  I've only done that once in a PZ-1p;...

It's a reasonablesolution.  There are video cam CPL's in 27mm, and Pentax has apparently made a CPL for the Q7 -- not 27mm, but a CPL was part of the Q7 "Complete Kit" released in Japan only.  They...

Interior space provision for something, I think is obvious, maybe the mic jack, maybe something else, but done such that exterior form by which the added interior space is accommodated is at least...

Both the very thin XS version of the 40mm (designed with the K-01) and the Ltd. version of same fit any Pentax camera.  The XS has an odd filter thread diameter of 27mm, so it's difficult to find...

Thanks.  You're lucky to have a nice shop like that nearby, especially if they carry Pentax.  Not many do.

Not to tell you what to do, but please buy it from the family-owned shop if you like it.  Many shops have been run out of business by internet sales after having served as free hands-on test...

Every October 1st, I will here report on the integrity of the Rubber Flap Door (RFD) on my K-01. Background:  Recall that DPR indicated the following it its April 2012 review of the K-01: "The...

I think your friend would rapidly become more than a "general shooter" with a K-5II.  It's highly capable, and its highly intuitive operation and handling give you access to those those...

I agree that Pentax will have the ergo's covered.  If it has the grip of the first limited edition K-5 in silver, it will be sweet in hand.  Prism looks like it will again be a 100% OVF, almost a...
