The Squirrel Mafia

The DA 16-85mm is leaps & bounds better than the 18-55mm screw drives. There is also the DA 18-135mm DC lens that's pretty nice. I'd skip that DA 18-50mm lens. It's kind of flimsy.

Quite nice. :-)

This lens almost makes me want to get a Panasonic G9, but I'm far too in with Pentax DA Limited & DA* glass. All I can say is good stuff! (^_^ )

This. The K-3III has something similar, except that it's software based. No GPS inside the K-3III. It has lots of limitations & it's slow to use. It's more of a " I forgot my GPS unit at home, so ...

Ah! That's an awesome shirt! :-D

I want a revamp of the DA* 60-250mm f/4. Heck! I want all the DA* lenses revamped 'cause I want to get them all. :-D

I only have a K-50 & K-3II, so my favorite Pentax camera would be the K-3II. It handles well, the ergonomics are great, settings are easy to change, it's built like a tank, & it has GPS. I just ...

In the last Japanese Ricoh/Pentax survey that I saw about a month ago, Ricoh was asking users about mirrorless bodies & EVFs. Who knows what Ricoh plans on doing with that information, though. ...

I'd rather get the Sigma, particularly if it's the constant f/2.8 version.

I am kind of sensitive to light frequencies. I can even notice the flicker in florescent lighting at times. Like the stupid light above my desk at work that annoys me plus the 60HZ flicker of the ...

I still prefer using an OVF instead of an EVF mainly for the lag free shooting. Sometimes I have both of my eyes open as I'm seeing what is happening around me & there's no lag with the OVF. When ...

Do you have some full frame Sony glass already? If not, a Sony a6600 would make a bit more sense, unless you plan on getting the a7IV & purchasing some FF glass as well. If you're not heavily ...

The "green" solenoid in your camera has failed. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4221791 ^ Here's a possible quick fix. https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/151-pentax-k-30-k-50/ ^ Tons of ...

Interesting. They'll probably squeeze a few more performance "ounces" out of those 2 bodies with future firmware updates, but it definitely looks like the eventual Z6III/Z7III might be the ticket ...

Looks like a dreamy photo of a memory far off into the distance. Looks good to me. :-D

Interesting. My guess is that it won't shoot until it nails focus when you have the camera set to focus priority? Back button focus seems to allow you to shoot the camera even if the focus is off & ...

I definitely prefer a camera with an OVF, but I don't have a problem with a decent EVF. The main thing with mirrorless cameras is their autofocus accuracy & autofocus features like subject ...

Cool! Gonna download it later. :-D

Sounds good. Hopefully supply chains remain intact for the next few years. Anything can happen.

If you want something new & you want to stay with Pentax, a K-70 would probably be your best move. Here's the thing with the recent batch of lower end Pentax cameras, though. Since the K-30, there ...
