Careful, you might unleash the "wrath of the Pentaxians" on yourself posting things like this.

The previous FA Limiteds weren't optically flawless, but they did have character. This is pretty expensive, especially for the speed. But Limiteds have always been about the tactility; the...

@Ergo607 Nikon is profitable.

Ergonomically, Pentax is ok. Yes, ok, not super. The bodies feel good in the hand, I will give you that. Tightly assembled, machined almost. Better than my D7100 and...

Guys, don't fight.

I had Pentax for years (K100D Super > K-7 > K-5 > K-3) but jumped to Nikon (D7100 > D750). My 2 cents:
- What others can learn from Pentax is to look at the Limiteds. Tiny,...

@ Djehuty “cool, all those you listed have SD cards slots”

Ok.

@lauma "MacBooks are used a lot in pro audio applications, not including a 3.5mm jack there would be like not including a display for photographers."

But then you're also using the MacBook's DACs...

@Djehuty "Last time I checked cameras are all still using SD cards"

Maybe check again?

Nikon D850 and D500: XQD/CFExpress and SD.
Nikon D5: either XQD/CFExpress or CF slots.
Nikon D6:...

It’s almost too smart. As in, what’s the fun in photography when your camera is figuring out so much for you?

But then you have to think what you’re doing it for: the process, or the end-result?

About the ports, I don’t really get it:
- Higher end cameras are either moving away from SD, or offer the option to use SD or CF Express in the same slot. An SD slot would be more appropriate - in...

On second thought, the weight is actually about the same as my late-2013 MBP.

@ CaPi It is right now. However I’m getting a new laptop this week. :)

Now that they’ve been released I find myself wondering if a MacBook Air is enough for me. I don’t like the 3.5 pound weight or the notch, and the price is also quite steep.

I don’t do video...

Looking at their DSLRs they had the 24-120/4 and the 24-85/3.5-4.5. I ended up getting the former, and I don’t regret it, but it does have zoom creep and a slower AF compared to the 17-55/2.8 (I ...

The 16-55 on crop provides more reach than the 24-70 does on FF though (that’s the reason I’m not very interested in such a lens, even though I used the 17-55 on the D7100. There is one other ...

This is a bit of a chicken/egg question to me. I don’t have any Z camera so far. I have a D750. Before that, I had a D7100, but I didn’t switch to fullframe because of the sensor size; I switched ...

Considering that they are aiming for 30 lenses to be released in March 2022, and that they have almost achieved their stated lens releases for 2021 (just the 85/1.2 and 400/2.8 to go) I would not ...

@ wjan
I think the 40mm is close enough to a 35 to be useful in that sense. And it’s certainly close enough that I don’t expect Nikon to start working on a 35mm DX Z lens anytime soon.

I think by now, the road to Pentax for those seeking an APS-C system for photography has been all but blocked by Fuji.

Really dig the low weight. But similar to others I prefer standard zoom lenses that start from 24mm ff-eq.

@ Track79 I stand by what I said.
