Hi there, you may also consider DA 300 + TC 1.4x which would be 1500 Euro new. Or you can look also on SH market. For the "wide" side you may look for a used Sigma 12-24 (seems to cover FF) since ...

Yes, but I guess you will need an adapter since the camera has the "Fujifilm’s new G-Mount". Apparently only Pentax care about legacy lenses...

Right, and where is the Pentax-mount version??

I also believe it is a fair review. But...there is a BIG but. The reviewer is not a Pentax user, and definitely does not master the K1. The Pentax AF simply does not work the way AF of Canon or...

@shigzeo - please add also the bellows size and weight....

Great picture, great lens! Would be nice to see the result from SilkyPix, apparently it eliminates better the artifacts. See here ...

Are you sure the local rep told Pentax/Ricoh Japan the whole story? How about writing them directly in Jsapan and explain the situation? On the other side, would be good to know if the local rep ...

Definitely misleading! I would expect this scandal to start in UK, where rules for misleading advertising are also very strict.

It amazing to see how a question from an unlucky Pentax/Ricoh customer would generate quite a conflict. I would say: ask. Tell the whole story, don't forget to add how happy you are/were with your ...

Definitely a "disappointing" continuous AF performance...

Why is a better AF the single most important feature? Beside that it may look like Pentax K1 AF is a complete disaster but actually is not bad at all - and I dare to say it is adequate in most cases.

Barry, I am afraid the perception and perpetuation of a "disappointing" AF on Pentax DSLR is probably the main reason for the present (small) market share of Pentax!  Nothing is more frightening ...

Again, the Astrotracer feature of Pentax K-1 is left outside. I cannot ask the reviewer to go outside in the middle of night just to test it - although that would be a complete test of camera...

You may also use a ND filter in order to preserve a decent aperture.

I always read him with pleasure. You will be missed Mr. Reichmann!
May God rest his soul in peace.

Thank you, Sigma!

You probably mean the Astrotracer function. Basically in K-1 is the same as in K-3II, therefore I did a fast search for "Pentax K3 II astrotracer", some info here http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thr ...

Almost nothing in this world is 3 times better if costs 3 times more, IQ included. Well, the insignificant 2 mm are making a big difference. Don't have to believe, just try it. For me was important ...

Pentax has the contacts direct on the mount, Canon and Nikon have them in different places. So, when we the Pentaxians are cleaning the mount we are cleaning the contacts as well. Do we have to ...
