Re: Should I stay with Pentax?

I just got my self few toy from pentax all old and used

K1.

24-70

190 macro, 28mm shift, and potentially the pentax 70-200 (but it is heavy)

But I have to say, it is hard to find used lens as the market is smaller. You get similar performance compared to nikon/Canon or mirrorless. But.... The af is not good. My d500 can snap quicker. I use pentax mostly for landscape/ and firework recently. Love the quality from k1 but to be honest, one part of me tell me you can get the same quality with d810 or d850 with better af.

But... Pentax is the only dslr with ibis. Well, lots of photographer did not need it before but handy sometimes. No dslr has high res mode. And build in gps for casual astrophotography ⛄⛄

So, I still have the k1 for landscape and a k70 for walking around. And d500 for something fast.

If I walk around, I carry the xt10 from fuji or just phone 📱😉
