I completely agree, but this is also Ricoh/Pentax marketing at it's worst. They need to get ahead of this, but instead they let Nikkei and photography news sites imaginations run wild. Hype up your...

I think they're testing the new release rigorously because of the reintroduction of hardware based (SR) video stabilisation. The alternative is that they're slow at getting new firmware out ;) As ...

I've been curious about this too. I noticed one of my tripods came with a white grease that made the leg locking bits require more torque to turn and the turns were smoother. I think what they were ...

The Irix 15mm looks to be a fine len! Great photos! Thanks for sharing images from your K1/Irix combo

Still, not a complete loss though. The 28-105 by all accounts is a great lens! It's also one step towards FF if you're so inclined. You could also pair the 28-105 with a Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 on APS-C ...

From my understanding, 28mm will always be 28mm no matter the sensor. The Field of View (FoV) will change however due to the crop factor of APS-C, so a 28mm FoV on a FF will be wider and a 28mm ...

The tourist areas of Cusco are pretty safe. I mostly explored the Plaza Mayor del Cusco and the surrounding area and headed up to the mountains for a horseback ride. I didn't feel like I needed to ...

Travelling light can be a good idea, especially if you're not used to the altitude on some of those mountain hikes. Though the 24-85 focal length would be pretty useful in cities, so that's ...

Sad news really, but I assume that's why companies diversify. If Ricoh's office equipment division isn't as profitable as it once was, perhaps they'll start investing more in their camera...

Most of us are out shooting ;-)

Awesome news mate! As a fellow aussie it's good to hear CRK has our backs

http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/support/digital/k1.html About time :P Seems minor though

This is getting out of hand, but whatever, I'll bite...

Just a couple of questions:
What other camera maker's cameras use the k-mount? If a camera brand has exclusive access to a mount is it...

@DPPMetro I don't think he does. The arguement that Pentax is a brand is true, but it's also a strawman arguement. Whether Pentax is a brand or not is not a question here.

My original point is...

@ET2 And yet we have the just-released KP, the K1 from last year, new FF lenses and new lenses on the roadmap. Pentax is the K-Mount, no matter who it's sold to. It's not dead till it's dead, and...

Seriously guys, how long have people been saying Pentax is doomed? We're at 'the boy who cried wolf' levels now. The camera market has been a mess for years now, and Pentax has stuck around. I'm...

This was pretty much my exact same thought. So what are people to do instead? Check in your electronics and carry on the lithium-ion batteries?... Do they even realise it's the batteries that are...

It might be worth doing a quick test for decentering: https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2012/05/testing-for-a-decentered-lens-an-old-technique-gets-a-makeover/ If you need the test chart you can ...

Awesome mate! That lens is great fun, although it took some getting used to for me. I'm used to a more normal to telephoto range too. I like the third image for the foreground interest. You should ...

Chris mentioned in the video that the low light ISO performance was on par with the K-70 though (or similar at least)...
