It's not just the money but the hassle, and all that hassle for what? Would the hassle and, for some, the money, make any difference to their photography? For the vast majority of Pentax users the ...

Bluetooth cannot handle the bandwidth of remote LiveView, wi-fi is used for this and K-1, K-70, KP, K-S2 have it but the Image Sync software is not great and remote LiveView is vastly limited in ...

Where did this K3 Mk3 vs D500 idea ever come from? Pentax can't come close to making a sports camera like Nikon D500 and neither can Leica or Hasselblad. Pentax never pretended they could and never ...

Great technique and result, especially from such a general consumer zoom. I'd love to lend you my F*300 f4.5 as you have good astro skills.

I couldn't even begin to think of watching their 'marketing' videos, they look odiously terrible. I don't see the 1.6MP screen as any advantage however the touchscreen could be useful if it works ...

Why the 4GB limit? 4K on the old .264 (MOV) codec won't get too far. If video is typically below par Pentax, they're happy to limit it at 4GB as nobody will want to use it. No surprises overall ...

You mean the RUN DMC style style promos?

Reminds me I must do more as this historical city is being constantly knocked down and replaced with boring glass walls.

I'm more into restoration...

Brick wall photography has it's place outside of testing a lens.

There is an architectural heritage, cultural and historical tale here in Ireland and elsewhere.

I have photographed my own lime...

Tube amps are for people who like the warm sound of harmonic distortion. It can be replicated with modern DSP and...

I agree, audiophiles with too much money don't really listen, understand or enjoy music just like cameraphiles with too much money don't understand or enjoy photography.

I'm glad I only have a...

Very true, better to judge a lens on how you like what you can produce with it.

There are people who complain that every lens they buy is decentred and are clearly not happy photographers if you...

Honesty doesn't win votes so Roger is a bad candidate.

Dpreview is a subset of humanity, tribalism prevails.

Camera politics 💩

There is no lab test for the often mentioned qualitative 'rendering' of a lens is there? Rendering seems to be a whole mixture of qualities interacting in various ways and it is subjective.

Roger...

Superb, these have spread all places now, right into the middle of cities in Ireland, cats chasing them into the trees but some people claim they are a nuisance in too many numbers.

You haven't tried the HDR RAW facility? This takes 3 bracketed images and merges them into a HDR RAW, no need for grads now. You set the amount of stops bracketing, it works really well in the K-70 ...

I knew immediately this was the 20-40 without reading it, the colours and the sun stars I am so familiar with and No.1 is the kind of photography I do the most with the sun in the frame. That's why ...

Did you ask No.4 for permission? Looks a bit voyeuristic No.5 is cool, did they have Covid-19 bcause that ball with spike crowns looks like Covid? No.5 is a historic photo showing the sign of the ...

I completely see the reasoning of using a DSLR like a film camera this way of what is not having the LCD screen and entirely using the OVF and indeed it reasons very nicely with the better OVF and ...

Being a Manfrotto these batteries won't have a leg to stand on.
