Just saw this today during the F1 Bahrain GP (podium ceremony).

It seems that some journalist is trusting Pentax to do the job...

Good thing he's not covering a bicycle race ;)
 
I saw that on the coverage. I had to take a 2nd look "Does that say Pentax...?" ;-)

Does not it look like the result of image editing software? :-D
 
Hahahaha ,what a typically noob with Pentax, he had forgotten to load the film into the camera...

Pro with Pentax haha,never :-)
 
The guy was probably trying to figure out if there was a function on how to speed up the AF :-)

He'll will most likely get the K1 upgrade hehehe ;-)

Maybe he is testing the K-1II

And maybe the K1II has a jaw dropping fast AF and he is asking this is a pentax??? :-)

Might be a good place to test out the new AF of the K-1 II.

I watched the race (on television) it was pretty exciting.
 
Nice find. As I recall, this is the first time in ages I see someone using a Pentax covering a sports event. And why shouldn't he? It's an excellent, very capable camera after all...
 
But in fact it is DA*60-250/4 on K3. There is no gold badge between rings on 70-200 and barrel of that F2.8 lens is bigger both in length and diameter..... Also that camera is not K1



all these pentaxians..



K3 + 60-250
