It's my experience couriers never pay, to the point where insuring with them is a waste of money. They find dishonest reasons not to pay and just keep on doing this until you give up. They know ...

Thanks Miles. Examined full screen on a decent monitor, the difference is tiny. Yes, I'd prefer 24mm to 28mm, and yes, constant f2.8 is useful. But your test shows how good the 28-105 is.

I have the Pentax 28-105 lens, a bargain offer from SRS Microsystems at £350. Everything about it seems good, especially at this price. How does it compare with the faster, bigger and much more ...

My Australian brother says he couldn't manage without a viewfinder for the above reason.  Here in the UK there are far fewer days this bright.  And with a tilting screen, you can hold it low down ...

Seems from the posts so far, most have done the opposite. I moved from Nikon D700 to K1, via M43. This because I value articulating screen and reasonable LV performance over AFC. Had the D750 ...

I think you forget this man was paying for his flight. They were not flying him as a favour. Why make a song and dance about being an atheist? How you treat others is more important than what you ...

I've read several posters disappointed the GM series is now, it seems, discontinued. I've had the GM 1 for around four years now, a great little camera that slips into a jacket pocket; the 12-32 ...

Thanks. Both lenses are relatively cheap, I've no good way to choose between them. Any ideas? I'll have to think on it.

Hello Mike, I can't find the Samyang listed as a Pentax fit, am I missing something?

Right, so the Irix is bigger than I'd realised. Mighty Mike suggests the Samyang, I've not seen or held this either. But a quick Google suggests to me the Irix is better reviewed. Can the K1 tell ...

Not a specific Pentax point except that I use a K1.  I've always liked wide angle and at present have an old Tamron  17-35,  soft everywhere except the very centre. It was very cheap and good to ...

Having read through much of this thread, a few points occur. 1. It’s been pointed out that Pentax developing and introducing mirrorless would be a huge risk. Of course, and probably a very ...

Smitty1 may not like them, but junk they are not. There are many times when an OVF is nicer to use, but other low light conditions where I would choose an EVF every time.  And WYSIWYG is a big bonus.

What profits are these?

Surely true. This mount must be a deterrent to anyone making third party lenses. Having come from Nikon and using alongside M43, I was staggered by the inconvenient complexity of the mount. While ...

I didn't like mine, the only M43 lens I've been unhappy with.  Unlike my 12-32 which is fine.

I understand the preference many have for a good optical viewfinder over even the best EVF.  Yes, they are nicer to look through. As well as a K1, I use a Panasonic GH4.  I definitely prefer the K1 ...

The A3 could be an alternative for me, but, especially with the kit lens, is getting to be too big to be a jacket pocket camera.
And as I already have a range of Panasonic M43 lenses for the other...

And using the tilt screen and shooting from low down attracts much less attention than using a viewfinder, or holding the camera out in front to see a fixed screen. I'm all for it.

Not just under 30s. My first camera had opening bellows and a tiny viewfinder you peered down into. Maybe this is why I'm so happy shooting from the waist. This and getting a different...
