Re: Ricoh announces an upgrade service for current PENTAX K-1 consumers

It will be like you paid $550 for using K1 for a year and get to "upgrade" to the latest and greatest. :) If it is like $299 or $350 I think I will do it right away. For $550, I might wait a bit (especially many have negative experience with Precision Camera?) Personally, I think except the

I doubt if I'll ever need ISO 819,200 and I will probably never use pixel shift. Is there any other reason to take up this offer? Also, if I get this new motherboard, will I have to do focus testing again on all of my (many) lenses? Unless the upgrade offers something more than the above, this

I had a bad experience with Precision but I never posted anything negative about them. I was never able to get the issue solved as their response to my emails was non-existent. I guess that's how they deal with "problem" customers: ignore them. On Thu, Feb 22, 2018 at 1:21 PM, Bill

Re: Ricoh announces an upgrade service for current PENTAX K-1 consumers

Joe, In my experience, with all digital cameras (DSLRs, P's, ...) - the highest realistically (reliably) usable ISO is about 2-4 steps below the maximum one. E.g. with the K5-IIs that has the highest setting of 512,000, the highest I've been using is 6400, while trying not to exceed 3200.

Re: Ricoh announces an upgrade service for current PENTAX K-1 consumers

The Pentax KP had a high ISO of 819,200. Two steps below that would be 204,800; four steps is 51, 200. Two-four steps means usable high ISO starts where the K3 maxes out and extends to where the K-1 maxes out. How high is the k-1ii announced as going? Will it have the same range as the KP? Will

From what I've read, the answers to your questions are "yes" and "yes". (Joe, in his message below was mentioning "ISO 819,200") The upgrade seems to bring K1 up to the full equivalent of Mark-II. Igor John Thu, 22 Feb 2018 14:10:02 -0800 wrote: The Pentax KP had a high ISO of 819,200.

Seems like a gimmick to me, like they are trying to soften the blow of the upgrade basically being much ado about nothing. I'll wait for the real K2 or whatever its going to be called. On Thu, Feb 22, 2018 at 1:46 AM, Alan C wrote: > Ricoh could impress the photographic world

Re: Ricoh announces an upgrade service for current PENTAX K-1consumers

Saw a post on a Europe FB page, Ricoh offer K5II, K3, K3II, K-70 trade in for K1II (The one I remember is K5II trade in value is $250). K3 and K3II have higher trade in value. I think, maybe with this move, they indicate there will be no more 'flag-ship"/"high-end" APSC camera ... Lee On Thu,
