@wats0n Some great Maths masters here today.... few users already counted to two and three... fingers crossed noone beats you with five! :)

@Old Cameras Why would Tokina need to colaborate on design/development if they wanted to licence it and sell under their brand with modification? You don't necessarily need to colaborate for that....

No collaboration
50 wasn't Tokina, but a Pentax design licenced by Tokina
who says K-1 is the last FF?
What is wrong with all of you asking about re-brands/collaboration etc. ? Why is this the...

If you didn't bother reading about the AF than why asking? The drive is a completely new ring motor (upgraded one from D-FA* 50/1.4)... the old SDM is not used in new Pentax lenses anymore

Just seen the manufacturer MTF ... it really looks better than Zeiss Otus 85/1.4

Check out the samples on http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/products/star_lens/special/sp_dfa85-14/impression/
I don't see any LoCa on them

@forpetessake might still be more people than will laugh to your joke attempt ;)

@Jones Indiana I don't think you got the main point that @trustya was talking about - it was the conflict between technology race and pure joy of photography. In which case it is not a temporary...

@PatDav
15-30 is a rebrand and I think they even publically admit it. The reason was that they needed to quickly introduce the three main zooms for FF with the launch of K-1 and had only limited...

@Christian Scarlet
you are aware they were product planners, not designers, right?

why the hope? can you only take pictures with a mirrorless?

@gameshoes3003
except the right thing for me was to stop using continuous shooting and switch to single

@jaap51
I did not imply anything of the sort. I actually have the fat fifty and love its results, but I found myself more and more using the filme era 28 because it delivers pictures I love. And...

sadly it is not so much due to making bad products but because they never had the marketing mega budgets that the others did... sure they made some bad decisions, but so did others... and remember,...

@Jones Indiana for nature and landscape, Pentax is just as relevant as it's always been. That is a fact. I have been using the K-1 as a photojournalistic tool and the only reason I have ever felt I...

Personal taste is personal taste. I love both the old ones but the latest even more. This body looks stunning if you ask me

@PatDav
do you actually want to know it or just think you know it? Did you read my message above? Did you view the video? because if you did, you would not even ask this question

@noirdesir
just because somebody releases 3 iterations of a body a year doesn't mean you have to buy the latest one. People were pushed into this mad circle of fast replacing by mobile phone...

It creates a direct bridge between the product planners and consumers, I think that is the most important takeaway. If this was a full product launch, the video would/should look different. This is...

Don't you already carry your smartphone for everyday video? how many Pentaxians do you think shoot professional video? If you had a limited R&D budget, would you spend it on features that minority...
