Ok but please also consider that with a lens what only can be controlled by a Pentax camera, let`s say the 2000€  150-450 without aperture ring, will loose  dramaticalliy of its value compared to ...

they had the Pentax Auto 110 from 1979 to 1985 the smalles SLR ever. Probaby Pentax should not waste money on cameras which are fun but nobody buys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentax_Auto_110

sorry I had the older version Nikon ES-1, but this older version works also very fine. It is just a film holder which keeps your negative perpendicular to your macro lens and blocks light from the ...

I also used the Nikon Duplicator ES-2 on a Pentax, today I use it with my Sony A7. You can mount it on any macro lens. The ES-2 has 52mm thread and you can adapt it via stepup / stepdown rings to ...

I was wrong, the shot mas made with the K5 see exif and it was made in the alps, so a little advance regarding light pollution.

to be honest I think this is disappointing, years ago I shot this with a K3 and Sigma 50-500.

http://techartpro.com/product/techart-pro-leica-m-sony-e-autofocus-adapter/ with a Pentax-K->Leica M-Mount you could mount your Pentax lens via a techart pro adapter on a Sony. You would have AF ...

that's simply wrong. On a Sony A# I can use native E-mount or Canon with MC-11 adapter, having full aperture and AF control. If I could use a Canon lens with a Sigma adapter on a Sony camera, then ...

or even more simple get a Sony camera, then you have E-Mount, you can mount Canon or Nikon with adaptors. and all old manual lenses ever made for full Frame.

of course cameras are not a good investment, but when Pentax would stop camera business, the price of Pentax equipment would drop strong. Who would by a flash or Pentax lens without an aperture ...

To the thread opener, read carefully xmeda contribution, also his thread on lens situation. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/60613198 If a friend would ask me whether she/he should spend money ...

Thanks Xmeda, well written summary of what happened and is happening with Pentax. Since in 2017 we only got the expensive KP and a silver K1, I finally jumped to Sony alpha. I sold 14 lenses, 9 ...

It would be interesting to know who and when left Pentax and who plans to leave and who will stay with Pentax. My first was the K10 and my last camera was the K3. Since Pentax brought no K3iii in ...

I used the Nikon film holder ES-2 on a Sigma 70/2.8 macro lens with a 62->52 stepdown ring. The Sigma lens is the Canon Version coupled with a MC-11 to Sony A7rii. With this combo you can use AF ...

for 12 minutes the clouds are amazingly sharp.

can the A7iii trigger a flash when using the Pixel Shift Function, would be interesting for static studio objects. The Pentax K1 does not trigger  a flash on pixel shift, I hope Sony took another ...
