I am not suggesting that pre-K-3 III gear is awful. It is the only gear I use. Just that I have seen many Pentax users start to use another system, but they are unwilling to give up their Pentax gear.

I am in the US and I have been noticing that used Pentax gear on eBay has been reducing in numbers. The only exception is gear that is being shipped from Japan. Either Pentax users are holding ...

I got my hands on a K-01 with the dreaded "stuck shutter" problem. Was planning to take it apart. Was wondering if anybody is looking for any parts from the K-01 in case (and most probably!) I am ...

But regardless of IBIS there is a place for stabilized lenses, isn't it? My cousin has the stabilized version of the Sigma 50-500mm lens. He tends to use lens stabilization at long zoom end and ...

Sorry, not trying to score points. Just sad to see one important Pentax advantage getting whittled away. Best, JawaT

If MILS auto focus did not work without IBIS, we would not have seen so many more Sony and Fuji cameras out there! IBIS is now entering the feature set for high end APSC MILC's. The X-T4 looks ...

In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) used to the one of the distinctions of the Pentax brand over the last decade. The 3+ EV advantage that came with IBIS - depending on the Pentax body - made dated ...

I was using the default settings that come with the U1 setting on the mode dial of the Kp (HDR LANDSCAPE). This uses HDR ADV, +-3EV and AutoAlign. All other settings on that Menu page are disabled ...

You mean in Lightroom or similar? Thanks, JawaT

Thanks to all those who responded. Especially @KPM2 for the detailed explanation, suggestions and images. Much appreciated. I was using the default settings that come with the U1 setting on the ...

Took some pictures with my Kp and Sigma 18-300mm lens. I rarely use HDR. Many of the pictures that I took today with HDR have this exaggerated yellow and green tinge that was completely ...

Just to emphasize that this is based on anecdotal observation only on the part of somebody who often window-shops used Pentax gear. Have not done any data analytics on eBay! It would appear that ...

When you say "flip screen", I assume you meant "tilt screen"...... JawaT

Thanks for all the input.

Is the Pentax DAL 1:4-5.6 18-50mm DC WR RE lens compatible with the K-01? Anybody used it? Any feedback? Was looking for a small zoom and this one came to mind. Thanks, JawaT

You are likely correct about K-new being the best Pentax since the digital era. Perhaps ever. However, what folks are expressing angst about is the competitive positioning of Pentax as a brand and ...

I have a Kp and a K3. The former gives me better images and increasingly I am not using the K3. But I miss the ergonomics of the K3. Gotten used to the Kp over time. The tilt screen of the Kp is a ...

Osprey female likely protecting a clutch of eggs. Taken in Cape Cod. If somebody is from there, I will provide more specifics of where I saw it. Pentax Kp and Sigma 50-500mm mostly at 500mm. No ...

Awesome pictures!
