Pity someone in DPR did not hire a good Japanese translator. This is an option for the Japanese Market, not globally. EU, US and ROW distribution / support will remain in place. Classic anti Pentax...

Pentax FTW! I have the K-3iii and it is a joy to use.

Pentax use different lens series to target whom they consider their optical competitors, ie, Zeiss with the DFA*'s and Leica with the (D)FA Limited's. Do keep up! :)

Those other brands you mention...

Time flies :) - personally for me it takes about a year to really understand a lens, some take longer (I'm looking at you FA43/1.9, which can still surprise me) so a year here, a year there and it...

Why reassuring? Ground up Pentax designs in the last few years = DFA 21, 50, 85, 28-105, 70-200, 150-450, DA = 16-50, 20-40, 55-300plm... Plenty going on, I'll get the 21, have the 50, 85 and 70-200.

If I'm not mistaken, this is about a new FF lens announcement not about yet to be released or even road mapped lens designs for an ASPC camera. You're the one derailing this thread / topic not me....

If I want to do sports I'd throw my DFA * 70-200/2.8 on, more than quick enough and accurate enough paired with the K-3iii. If you can't get the shot you want, when you want, I'd suggest it isn't...

New firmware released for the K-3iii that unlocks the electronic shutter 1/16000s to 30s.
Ver 1.10

You could try but sometimes you just need the flexibility of a zoom and I suspect the 21 will have more flavour in its rendition. Different tools for different jobs / moods :D Great to have the...

Non Pentaxian's might not know but Ricoh-Imaging do have a loyalty program so whatever is list I can apply 10%. Personally I'm in a quandary with this lens as I've told myself to behave this year...

Great little lens. Those who have not tried it on a Pentax or Leica don't know what they're missing. It's not a standard lens perse, it's a reportage lens. 6 to 12 feet and the subject pops, your...

@MarBa, you have a good combo then. What I'm curious about is the combo DPR are using in their lab.

Can you do all us K-3iii owners a favour and tell us what tripod and head you were using please? :)
Many Thanks
