Akin to the UK railways, it should be renationalised. Either sold to the Japanese government or bring Mr Asahi back from the grave. MAKE PENTAX GREAT AGAIN

... Is one of the most annoying TV adverts of mankind. Ricoh makes interactive whiteboards? These are one of the worst inventions, students and pupils hate them and I never used them in the classroom.

I'm not one to care about corner or edge sharpness. I've never seen a lens which can make such an amazing 3D and holographic image, and this I feel is the strongest asset. Test charts are an insult ...

The weather sealing would have kept the dust out. 😂

Someone up there spared you! You did well to photograph it but that was a lucky miss. 😎

I seem to remember SRS had the DA* 300 f4 for £699 at the same time as well as others, that was a good deal too but I already had the F* 300mm f4.5. The 20-40 Limited was a great buy at £429 and ...

Depending on where you live it mattered. I'm kind of opposed to the consumerism idealogy of black Friday, but last year I got the HD DA 20-40 f2.8 - f4 Limited for £429 from SRS in the UK. I'm not ...

Ha ha remember Pentax make binoculars too 😀

Nice pics. Yip you have to pay so much more for these features from other camera makers! I bought the astrotracer module too for my K30

I used to be a construction engineer and had to use a theodolite with an inverted viewfinder, i.e. up was down and left was right, it may have been a Leica, I wasn't into photography then but this ...

Really nice photos! I loved New Mexico, I loved the remoteness of the state and the clean air. I was there when cycling across the USA almost 21 years ago. I stayed in Roswell for 2 nights as the ...

Exactly right! I am most interested to see how it performs at astro wide or nearly wide open. Coma and astigmatism are the enemies of the astrophotographer! It's direct competitor for astro is the ...

He isn't making any sense then 😃, don't take offense Barry, only having fun! There is no way a 1kg lens will over torque the mount unless you swing on it or drop it. I've hung the F*300 f4.5 on my ...

You need a heavier tripod head, I have the Arca Swiss Monoball, twice as heavy as your lens and designed for medium format. The Manfrotto legs and Arca head weigh about 5kg.

Why leave f22 out of the design? So the geek graphs don't get ruined? It is a great lens, the 3D pop being the strongest trait but of course not a mention of this in this sterile quantitative review.

Vivid is what you want. Select RAW + Jpeg so that you have the RAW file too. I never select Jpeg only.

Excellent post and funny 😂

What's wrong with driving a Ferrari to only drive to a local grocery shop?

It's just boredom with the same old places, been there done that and never photograph the city I live in. The West of Ireland is where I should be, it has outstanding landscapes and dark sky areas. ...

Totally agree with you and certainly better than a mug, a cat or garden flowers taken with a K1 and DFA 50. I enjoyed photography more with a compact camera when I had a life, lots of friends, ...
