Yes, but you deleted it:
The LX with its superb finders and the old array of high performance fast
lenses made a pretty smick kit for low light work.
If the new DLSR behaves similarly to the D200 at high ISO I doubt that
I'm going to be overly excited, proof is in the pudding of course be it a
year ore more away. It's apparent that Pentax are heading in a totally
different direction now, they are carving a niche of kit biased towards
small rather than fast.
I don't see a definition for a "kind of photography" in that quote, Kostas. I
see a statement relating to a kind of equipment. What kind of PHOTOGRAPHS is
the equipment intended to make? That's photography.
It says "low light work"; that's photography. In it Rob expands that
for that type of photographs he needs a combination of low noise in
high ISO and bright lenses. He concludes that Pentax is not moving
towards this direction. The subject of the thread is "Lens Road Map
revised".
And don't shout, I read even without it.
