There are at least 6 species in this SA genus. Several common names are in use, esp. Impala Lily in SA & Desert Rose overseas. Natural & horticultural hybridisation has produced many spectacular varieties. This year with the drought conditions in SA, they are flowering very well. Here are some

Compare to the GFX. In 2017 Fuji released 6 lenses for the system. And that's not even counting all the other lenses they have released in the past year from X mount to cinema lenses. Pentax designed 2 whole lenses for the K-1. The 100-450 and 70-200. And it took them over 2 years just to come up

Don't forget the K-3 itself is 4 years old now using a sensor that wasn't exactly cutting edge when it came out. A K-3 Mark III with the sensor in the KP was all ricoh had to do. They didn't even need to redesign the body. Done. You know? The one thing every pentaxian has been asking for since the

It needed an 85 right out the gate. Instead they focused on yet another 50mm, something which Pentax is certainly not lacking in A flagship full frame camera and not even a single new prime to pair it with, but hey, let's pump out another body. That's just what the market wants! yeah! On

Pentax released several new zooms with the K-1, and I think that’s a priority in today’s marketplace, particularly for a pro grade camera. On any almost type of assignment where you have to work fast you need the flexibility of a zoom. Most of the the zooms, BTW, are superior to the brand’s

That was the KP. A camera nobody wanted. All pentax had to do was update the k-3 with a new sensor and improve the AF. A cameras pretty much all of their customers are waiting for. It was so easy. So cut and dry. I've given up on hoping that they ever improve the video. Pretty sad when canon
