Re: Pentax fill-frame camera on display again

Re: Pentax fill-frame camera on display again

Look at the street prices for the Nikon D810 and Nikon D750 and take the average. So about about $2350.00 but the price will probably fall to Nikon D610 price levels after about 9 months... On 11/11/2015 12:58 PM, Gonz wrote: I'm just wondering how much $$$ it will be for this camera. 4K?

Re: Pentax fill-frame camera on display again

Your “selector switch” might be just that. I had taken it to be a release lever to allow rotation of the selector knob. But the markings you point out make it seem more like a switch. But what I totally don’t understand is the purpose of the film winder knob on the far right of body top. No

Re: Pentax fill-frame camera on display again

I can actually see the use for it, though I can't imagine it being a high priority. See, my dream would be having a working aperture ring, a shutter speed wheel, and and a dedicated. (well, programmable, but that's how I'd set it up), ISO wheel, which would put all the important exposure

Yes, I've been looking at them this morning and noticed something that I'm not sure we've discussed yet (if it was, I missed it): Under that selector knob just to the right of the pentaprism is a selector switch that seems to have 3 settings. The switch is seen well in this large overhead view:
