Re: Pentax Confirms Full Frame DSLR - Photokina 2014.
I had a bit of a windfall earlier this year so I was able to buy the K-3 without having to plunder my savings against the day ... if it ever came. By the time it actually shows up at my local pusher I might be able to afford it. I've got lenses I expect I'll be able to use - FA50/1.4, FA43/1.9 Limited, FA77/1.8 Limited and A100/2.8 Macro, along with a Tokina ATX-Pro 80-200/2.8. Maybe if things work out I'll have the Tokina ATX-Pro 28-70/2.8 repaired & working again. All of them are 'A' lenses with the aperture ring, so I'm good to go whether it has the aperture simulator or not. On 9/19/2014 1:33 PM, Steve Sharpe wrote: You're welcome.

Re: Pentax Confirms Full Frame DSLR - Photokina 2014.
I don't know how much credence you can put in journalistic endeavors that get basic facts wrong. I guess we can believe what they wrote, even though this won't be Pentax's first full frame DSLR, the late lamented and almost forgotten, or so it seems MR-52, a FF 6mp, often refereed to as the MZ-D and at least once re-branded as the K-1, was probably mere months from a formal announcement and full production. It was probably scuttled by three things, 1 and 2 Canon and Kodak both announced at Photokina that year, 11mp and 14mp full frame DSLRs, that would have sold for less than Pentax could probably produce, let alone sell the camera for, and 2 the Philips CCD the camera was to built around was problematic at best, which probably killed Contax/Yashica, when they decided to go forward with production. There were supposed to be at least 6 hand built prototypes that were in circulation for testing and maybe more that never made it out of a Pentax facility. If the cameras never made it out a R*D lab, I couldn't count them, but this almost made it into the wild.

Sadly none here. The FF boat has sailed... I still don't believe it will happen. I can't see how it can under the current Pentax strategies. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) |Web Video Production -- _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Pentax Confirms Full Frame DSLR - Photokina 2014.
If you read the article you’ll see that Pentax only confirmed that they’re working on a 24 x 36 camera. Of course they are. They didn’t say they were going to offer it for sale. Another scribe who attended the same interview reported on Pentax Forum that release would depend on market conditions. I hope they do market the camera, and I will probably buy one although I don’t really need it. New toys are always fun, but I won’t lose any sleep over it.

You're welcome. I'm sure this was my doing since I finally got tired of waiting for a Pentax FF last month and bought a K-3. Oh well.
