Great camera

I used DA*300mm f4 for the test shots I took here. I love this camera. Seems very well thought out. Pentax have taken the time to ensure the product they put out is of high quality and I think some of the things that could use a little improvement are the very things that firmware updates could solve. When I'm trying out a camera I don't usually think about the grip because I expect it will somehow seem 'fancy' to me and I'll just 'get used to it' as if it were made for someone else. other…

Possibly the best APS-C DSLR yet

A few years ago I married a Pentax to a Kr and then a K-3 and collected a lot of K-mount glasses. It's clear that Pentax/Ricoh was pushing for the advancement of SLR cameras. When the wait finally came to an end for this new model - a brand new camera (just called the K-3) - I pre-ordered.

Review Pentax K-3 MkIII

(First unboxing, indoor and outdoor test) Pentax (Ricoh) have taken a liking to their guns. Instead of making another "Me Too" mirrorless camera, Ricoh decided to do what they do best - make an excellent DSLR. This iteration of the K3 was definitely worth the wait. True advances in design lie beneath its amazingly durable and weather-resistant magnesium body. Oh, you'll love that grip and durable construction. It's a masterpiece. I have a full range of Nikon and Canon DSLRs as well as a Pentax.
