I went from Pentax LXen and MXen to Canon D60 in either 2002 or 2003. It
was 6MP and it was the first real consumer DSLR of any decent quality
(after the D30). I knew from that point I would never be going back to
film. When the MZ-D was mooted, I thought it was just a matter of time
until Pentax released a digital body. By the time the *istD arrived, I
was already onto the Canon 1D series and having too much (expensive)
fun. I might possibly have invested in the K-7 or -5 if they had come
out earlier, but by then I had some nice EF L lenses. The horse had
already bolted!

And now my photography has changed and I have no need for DSLR systems.
If the K-1 was released 10 years ago, OI would be on it like a bonnet.
I'm sure those that acquire the K-1 will be over the moon with it and I
wish them well!

Yes but if cameras were sex machines, the Pen F would be several orders
of magnitude better at suction than the X-E2

I'm afraid a Pentax FF is highly unlikely to be in my future.

A few years ago when I was shooting with a 1DmarkII and some EF and K
lenses, I would have jumped straight onto it.

My photography has changed completely since those days, and now I am
much more into reportage, 'street', candids. I was, still am, thinking
about a Fuji X100T but since the announcement of the Olympus Pen F, I am
50/50 on one or the other. I love the idea of swapping out lenses
depending on desire. We'll see!

 While on the subject of Mike Johnston, I see he does a column in a
 British mag called Black and White Photography, or some such similar
 name.  This month was - damn, I can't remember what it was about this
 month, but I remember that as I was reading it, I was thinking, my,
 this is interesting...

 Ah, I remember now, it was about black and white, and how stable the
 prints are compared to colour.  Yeah, it was interesting.

This was last month :-) This month Mike writes on how to fight
photographer's block.

Does Cotty even have his LX anymore?  Didn't he dump all his Pentax gear
when he went over to the Dark Side (well, one of the dark sides - the
Dark Canon Side g)?

Hi, Lukasz,

Sometimes magazines from overseas are a bit slow arriving here in the
Colonies.  The one I was referring to, I read at a newstand just this past
weekend.

But, now that I know he contributes every month, I'll look for him.

thanks,
frank

How much are you thinking of asking for the MX?

Hi G/w

Hmmm, I've not priced it up yet. It all works with no sticky shutter etc,
so I'm thinking of a ballpark figure roundabout the sort of maybe about
kind of £150 ish. No CLA for some years. With a full Pentax CLA, I'd be
looking at  £250 but I've got to get it out of the bag (only just back
from Scotland/Wales 1800 mile round trip so not quite with it yet) but
IIRC it is pretty much mintish. Exc++ maybe. I've gotta sort all that out.

I won't entertain any offers just yet, until all the facts are in, as
General Buck Turgidson says. Need to get it all sorted out.


Cheers,
  Cotty

  Since we're the Pentax list, we should probably get this correct from the
  start.
 
  The camera is apparently called:
 
  *ist D (lower-case i, since it's a suffix)
 
  Not
 
  D *ist  (which would sound like deist, a believer in deism, the
  rational belief in the existence of a non-interfering God not subject to
  revelation)
 
  Just thought the local editor should mention that.
