Interesting statement that owner feedback has little (at best) effect on new 
model develpoment.  That will hit some other forums right in the ego feels.

Wheras I still have the primes of 28, 35 and 50 from the fim era I very 
much like to have a ff 20 mm prime at an affordable price.
There is such a great gap in ff wide angle range compared to what is 
available for the APS-C DA lenses.

I love articles that start out with a great pun:

They want more lenses that match the higher resolution of the K-1, so that’s 
one objective which we would like to implement.

Re: PESO 2018 - 022, 023 - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Thanks BobW and Ken! 

Yes, it's mostly carbon fiber. All up weight as you see it (minus the lock) is 
about 26 lbs. 

The tires are good … First time I've used these Duro Fleetwoods. They roll very 
smoothly and quietly, and are reasonably light given the size. I've been 
testing tire pressures: the range is 15 to 30 psi. 15-18 was too low; I'm at 23 
now and they work very well. I'll probably just settle in at 25psi, same as the 
other bike, and be done with it. (I bought a special AccuGauge for the 0-30 psi 
range; standard gauges aren't accurate enough in the low range, and with these 
size tires even 1 psi can make a difference.)

I like the film! Gotta catch the full production. I was at the bike shop today 
and found a couple of jerseys that actually fit me—It's so damn rare! Even 
after I've lost a ton of weight and reach my early post-college weight, I'm 
still going to be a six foot, 220 lb, post-middle-age guy … All the cycling 
gear seems to be targeted at wealthy 20-somethings with 28 inch waists. 
Sheesh—I bought both on the spot. I have a set of shorts that might fit on the 
way too. 

The Fatboy Comp Carbon (FCC for short) is a kick: I love riding it, even if I 
just twaddle along at 20-25 kph. It really feels great bending it into a 
corner. 

I was at the bike shop working on something for Sumo today. Its cushy Gel 
Comfort seat (now 1500 miles old) is getting sagged, I think, but there's a 
chance that the seat post is not holding the adjustment and angle consistently 
any more. I like the seat on FCC, so I ordered one of those for it. But I also 
bought a Thomson Elite seat post for it which has a different kind of seat 
retaining system, like the one on FCC. Now that I have that installed and 
adjusted correctly, I'll be able to determine for sure whether the problem is a 
funky seat or a funky seat post: the latter has been eliminated. :-)

Thanks Brian,

A great little gallery. Pentax gear excels at sucking the light out of night.

A small gallery, but it contains some very good images.

I am particularly fond of Ann's (effective use of flash!) and Joseph
