If not mistaken sigma 1.4 is sharper than pentax 50 f1.7...even at f1.4.

i google.

read some where...even the cheaper 30 f1.4 also sharper or on par...but those 2 sigma is too bulky.
from what i understand la....

Wow.....

Thhe K-3 is now open for pre order for RM 4,099 at Pentax2u.com.

   

Those who tried out K-3, how's the AF speed? Is it by any chance faster than K-5?

Mhhh... can get below 300?

From what I know it's a good flash to _learn_ flash photography... it won't do anything automatically It might be a bit too much though...?

I'm in China now... holiday. Every day take 40-50 GB My laptop is running out of space. I'm already furiously trying to compress it all...

Get the DA 50 1.8 while they offer it for 400... really nice lens for the price. I have really started to like it. It's great fun, and so small and light. Optically it satisfies me, but then again I'm easily satisfied. I also shoot while walking... trying street portraits which take like 1-2 seconds to take... while walking.

FA 50 1.4 not as good as the DA 50 1.8? Why?

using Olympus E-P3..upgrading to E-M1 soon once money drop from sky
I quit using bigger body camera -  DSLR due to weight concerned
But if want me rate, I love what K-3 offered. High burst rate, rugged body, shutter speed 1/8000s, switchable AA filter and dual SD slot. K-3 can be good competitors for Nikon D7100 Never handle Nikon D7100 personally but so far I am confidently say K-3 has a very solid body built.

Not sure how good lenses offer by Pentax though if to compare with Nikon or Canon.

Do you guys this RM4199 for body only is reasonable? Some my friends said is expensive and only fans will buy.

Hehehe...
Isnt this normal since last last years.

Hold buy..then later got someone using..post good damn picture..only then the urge to buy come out...

hi guys, between PENTAX DA 40mm F2.8mm XS and DA 50mm F1.8, which one performs better in lowlight? and maybe a bit on bokeh performance, which one do u guys prefer? thanks!

oh. good to hear that. 50mm also cheaper

People have been b****ing about full frame.
Now they give a new medium format

Hah.....

Should be below 30k I guess. I wonder how will it affect the 645D price.

Cheers bro.......

nah.. i think i gonna downgrade.. lugging around heavy DSLR hiking up mountains or walking for 30km+ is not a good idea

How's the k01..meet all requirements for daily walk?

How to sell K-3 here oh like that..........   

if i have the money.......

For a Pentax..... I think is quick impossible......   

I wish they can maintain it at that price. But from the look of it, with the new production line cost, new parts development cost, and also the weakening MYR, could be a hard one. Take the K-S2 for instance. USD 800? Hmm  How much does a K-3 cause now a day?

I think it should be at a sub USD 2099 ish. Somewhere like the D750. And probably the price will maintain unlike the D750 which the price is being nuked due to competitive seller here. But who knows......

Continue to surprise us Pentax.......        :

Cheers..... peace:
