Intersting comment. I guess we'll see what happens next year. :-D

Hahaha! That's a good way of putting it. :-P

https://www.pentaxforums.com/articles/photokina-2018/interview-with-ricoh.html ^ New interview with Ricoh over at the Pentax Forums. Not much to see there.

^ No worries. There is the Japanese CP+ show coming up in late February. If Ricoh has something up their sleeve, they'll either announce or reveal it there.

Yes. I believe that CP+ 2019 will reveal the status of Pentax. It takes place in their homeland, next year is their supposed 100th anniversary, & there's a lot riding on it. I do enjoy shooting my ...

I'm with you on that. The supposed 100th anniversary of whatever Asahi/Pentax has become will take place next year. Only one of two things will happen. Either we will get blown away or many users ...

Good stuff. Thanks for the charts. Even though the engineers at Ricoh are doing noise reduction on the RAW file from the get go, the K-70 seems to pump out some very good looking images up to ISO ...

Nice! I was under the impression that "catch in focus" only works on older manual lenses. I'm gonna give it a whirl on my K-50 to see what happens.

Yeah. Outside of a possible GRIII & maybe some Theta, I also don't think we're going to see any new Pentax gear at Photokina. I'd be thrilled if they did, though. I'm thinking that CP+ in about 5 ...

I'm thinking that most likely the GR replacement will be there. Maybe a new Theta camera too. As far as Pentax cameras go, there could be something coming completely out of left field. Probably ...

Outside of DxO & http://www.photonstophotos.net/, I don't really think there's anything else out there. I could be wrong, though.

I suggest that you wait a couple more weeks before making a purchase. The K-3II is going to be replaced by another more advanced model. A big photography even called Photokina in Germany will be ...

Yes, yes, YES ! That's where they need to improve! Everyone else is doing it, so why can't Ricoh? I have great hopes for the K-3II successor. Hopefully Ricoh comes through with some major ...

^ More like shady business practices? Hahaha! ;-)

^ That's not good to hear. You might be one of the first K-70 users to have this issue & I feel that more will start to come along. I guess they didn't learn from the K-30/50 & K-S1/S2 fiasco. ...

The body sounds exciting, but the lens lineup ain't there yet & who knows if they will put more effort into it. It seems like Sony is placing  most of their eggs into the FF E-mount basket.

I'm telling you that it all sounds exciting! Hahaha! :-O

Same here. I've been waiting since 2016 for that camera. Hahaha! :-P I am looking forward to everything else that is about to be released by the different camera manufacturers, though. I have a ...

Hmmmm.......................... ;-)

Now, that's a guy that loves his profession!
