Just to echo what's already been said here: the DA70 is a great lens, nicely sharp wide open, quick and decisive AF. Even though I mostly shoot with a K-1 these days, I'll keep an APS-C body in my ...

If you're referring to Benjamin Kanarek, he was shooting the original K-5, which was known to have AF problems under certain lighting conditions due to color temperature issues. Pentax bodies from ...

Sorry PETA: I totally support your overall mission in fighting abuse and cruelty to animals, but idiotic pursuits like this undermine your cause. Less dogma and more practicality will protect more...

Very interesting, thanks for the link. I really hope the GR line continues, there really is no other camera quite like it.

Yes it does. Anyway, the DR of all 3 of these cameras is close enough to not be a big deal. The K-1 does offer the most DR for the price, but the AF on the D850 is the real upgrade here. I know it ...

That notch up top ;(

You are an evil human.

They've got the big, fast zooms, but are lacking small-ish high quality lenses other than the DA28-105. Now *that* lens is just great, I don't think I would have bought a K-1 otherwise. It just ...

Don't take a counter-argument as an attack, you need to have thick skin if you want to debate on the internet. That being said, I agree with you, and the near-silence from Ricoh about their future ...

The lens options for the K1 are merely adequate; they could do much better.

Maybe still alive, but I don't see much kicking - at least 9 months into the "Year of the Prime," LOL!

Damn, if all those engineers hadn't been working on those silver parts, we could have had our own Pentax D850 that I couldn't afford.

Some dentists can afford to spend over $50k to hunt big game in Africa; you could buy a lot of camera gear for that much money ;P

I've been using the Ultralight Dual 25L for over a year, and it's works very well as long as you don't need to carry a lot of camera gear and/or very long telephoto lenses. It's highly versatile, ...

Geez, 47 people here own this lens? I feel so poor right now ...

... to me. Fixed that for ya.

I enjoy hiking and biking, and I always have a backpack with some kind of photo gear in it. Usually I want to go light weight, so a Ricoh GRII and an APS-C DSLR with a complimentary fixed-focal ...

The same reason I shoot APS-C, point-and-shoot, or a smartphone: because sometimes it's the best tool I have for what I want to do.

Interesting article, tough audience.

I don't know if it's "relevant," but the K-5IIs is a great camera to shoot with. I currently use a K-1, but I still bust out the K-5 when I want to go lighter, and 16mp is plenty of pixels for big ...
