I don't really have any experience with any of the 24-50mm, when I was in my lens collecting phase I eschewed, zooms for the most part. So while I have lots of classic lenses, I only have a very limited number of zooms and no 25-50 among them. I only know what I've read. However I have often

I have two of those Zoom 90WRs. Excellent cameras, for their ilk. Better than an LX for fending off muggers, too, as they are much cheaper. On 4 October 2014 08:42, Christine Aguila wrote: > Hi Everyone: > > Had some camera spotting today. Check that old Pentax point and shoot & the > pink Pol

Re: pentax point and shoot and a pink polaroid

I’m not sure where you guys are seeing a $1000. The Pentax point & shoot, which I thought interestingly huge by today’s standards, is $45. The pink Polaroid, which I thought interesting given today’s trend in colored cameras, is $139+. Cheers, Christine On Oct 4, 2014, at 3:29 AM, Attila Bo

Re: Pentax Confirms Full Frame DSLR - Photokina 2014.

I had a bit of a windfall earlier this year so I was able to buy the K-3 without having to plunder my savings against the day ... if it ever came. By the time it actually shows up at my local pusher I might be able to afford it. I've got lenses I expect I'll be able to use - FA50/1.4, FA43/1.9

Re: Pentax Confirms Full Frame DSLR - Photokina 2014.

I don't know how much credence you can put in journalistic endeavors that get basic facts wrong. I guess we can believe what they wrote, even though this won't be Pentax's first full frame DSLR, the late lamented and almost forgotten, or so it seems MR-52, a FF 6mp, often refereed to as the MZ-

Re: Pentax Confirms Full Frame DSLR - Photokina 2014.

If you read the article you’ll see that Pentax only confirmed that they’re working on a 24 x 36 camera. Of course they are. They didn’t say they were going to offer it for sale. Another scribe who attended the same interview reported on Pentax Forum that release would depend on market conditions

Re: Pentax Confirms Full Frame DSLR - Photokina 2014.

You're welcome. I'm sure this was my doing since I finally got tired of waiting for a Pentax FF last month and bought a K-3. Oh well. At 1:22 PM -0400 9/19/14, Bipin Gupta wrote: Please see the write up here:- http://betterphotography.in/photokina-2014/pentax-confirms-that-a-full-frame-dslr-i
