Great neighbourhood.... As John said, we have the small and infuriating black shouldered Kite. I managed a few longer distance shots the other day while walking around a sunflower field. Several ...

That's insane 😳 I'm impressed with the K3mkiii alone. I'm not buying a monochrome camera in any hurry but that thing can shoot darkness....

.... or the new up coming Pentax half frame film camera.
My Dad bought two Olympus Pen for my sisters which I now have in my possession.
I must give them a go and see if the local processing places...

I'm wondering if people's fascination with Pentax manual focus legacy lenses via adapters on mirrorless cameras has run it's course. For a while there all the Sony buffs etc were buying A7's and ...

..... beginning of the film project. 1. It's aimed at today's YOUNG people who like something different, film look, retro, similar aspect ratio to mobile portrait. Noted for process and scan but ...

Like many of us your a senior member... don't worry, young people have no problem finding 72 subjects ... or 72 versions of the same photo, lol

At least three developing and printing places in my relatively small Australian city with turnarounds much quicker than a week, often 48hrs. The camera will have zone AF and auto metering so images ...

.. states the reasoning behind the product. It's for YOUNG people who want to share moments much like they do with mobile or instax and share on social media which has poor image quality anyway but ...

Do they need it ? ..or are Ricoh doing this because that's the way most young people shoot for social media platforms. Yes. Precisely. Then either print like instax and still get better quality or ...

Not always. I live in a city with a strong student / university population and they are users of analogue. Also younger colleagues of mine purchased point and shoot film cameras and whilst enjoying ...

I'm loving the pictures from you mono guys I can't afford one at the moment... or moreso not a priority I guess, but keep em coming... Maybe I'll just go out with a mono filter on my current gear B ...

Impressive images 👌 Thank you for sharing

I thought the reasoning behind the Tamron designs being killed off was odd. Ricoh obviously have options/licences on the design and can put out another bunch when they see fit. Hadn't thought about ...

Exactly.... most people who take photos don't require the technology that's been brought by the competition. I get what technology can bring us but so long as they continue the philosophy of ...

I see that after all this time, years of people saying they are doomed yet they are still profitable and fighting to keep the brand going ... Ricoh GR and theta plus K3mkiii/ mono seem to be doing ...

I've got an early version without shake reduction and it's very soft at the long end. If the 150-450 is similar I won't be going anywhere near that.... I do believe there is some batch variation of ...

Nice work 👏 👌 I've been doing a bit of Aurora hunting of late but weather was not kind for Geminids mostly. I wonder what K3mkiii is like for astro ?

Here is the translated information " (1) New Pentax K-1 Mark III camera is still under development. (2) The Pentax film camera project is in good ...

NO However when/if k1mkiii arrives it will most likely 'unfortunately' have 60mp because that is the current Sony sensor available unless they chose someone else's. I personally have no need for ...

Exactly !! Don't follow the crowd. Pentax have been doing small batch profitable for some time now and it works. Keep upgrading to stay within reasonable technology realms but stay true to their ethos.
