Hello everyone,

Hope you are well and having a great day.

I've got a Pentax K-3 to play with for the next couple weeks and I wanted to write a short review about it. I've got the 50-135mm f/2.8 and the 16-85 f/3.5-5.6 with it. Since this is my very first time with a Pentax camera, I was wondering if I can ask you all about how you find the camera. The advantages of it and the shortcomings compared to the competitions. I know, it is an old camera, but in many countries they are still a viable choice and in a decent budget.

So please do share what you like and do not like about this camera, and / or the lenses above.

I'd greatly appreciate your input. Many thanks and have a lovely day.

I had the k3 for a year and replaced it with k3ii.

Only thing I didn't like was the noise of pictures above iso 800.

Every thing else was fine. I know your photography style from Nikon forum. A tele photo lens like fa 77 mm may suits  your portraiture style.
