Yes, I am not divesting myself of my Pentax kit, either. I'm just not adding more. Ricoh is not producing Pentax products that I want anymore. I don't see anything in the lens roadmap that will fix ...

The KP is great. The image quality is an improvement on the K3. I have a large collection of manual k-mount primes going back to the late 1970s which I prefer to use with it. Low light shooting ...

Thanks, Mistral75! Makes sense now.

IBID. That would be a dream come true.

It's too big for me. I know the lay of the landscape, thanks. Agree, FF mirrorless has changed what we think of in terms of FF size. No, I know the difference, thanks. I said I prefer the body ...

Having just released the silver edition of the K-1 Mark II, why now a J edition? I understand the differences, but still, it's too close in the ideas department.

As was stated earlier, under Ricoh, Pentax moved towards bigger and heavier, after long offering small to medium-sized bodies. Small primes stopped being developed, too. I've been holding out ...

Since you always have the insider info, Alex, you should share it immediately, to help steer the conversation. It may not chill the anxiety, but it does clarify things. Pentax is a historic brand ...

Really nicely said. It perfectly underlines why so many Pentaxians are frustrated with Ricoh and what many will likely do.

Does anyone remember Konost, and their vaporware "first digital rangefinder" announcements? It seemed like such a compelling potential new camera line. And they kept the oven warm with ...

I bought my XF10 late - this April. By then the firmware had been updated and I've had, like many here, no issues focusing whatsoever. I shoot in Snap Focus, set to two metres, in RAF, only. The ...

Yes, this has been one of the more curious aspects of criticisms of the camera. You have to take the time to set it up properly and tailor it to your needs.

They already exist. And get a fair bit of use. IBID. Yes, this is way overdue. Agree - a K1000 style body would be nice.

Exactly. Giving up on it was a mistake.

It all depends on your style of shooting, and how you'll use the images. The lens is the same on both cameras but the X70 is better with movement. There's no smearing. That's what John Gellings was ...

IBID. Lightroom recognises the film simulations. I'd recommend using Iridient X-Transformer to convert the RAF files to DNG first.

Yes, overblown is fair.  If you're looking for samples from the XF10, here a few shots I took with it, not long after getting it.

I've read all of them, and those were primarily users or reviewers who didn't use or demo them in Snap Focus. Fuji should have done a better job pitching the XF10. I blame marketing for not ...

Get the XF10. It has a leaf shutter, and the RAW files are better than the GR3. Ignore the complaints about the autofocus. Just set to Snap Focus at 2 or 5 metres. That's where the XF10 performs ...

That's my concern too.
