Pentax K-01 Review Posted

An in-depth look at the K-01 mirrorless camera

By PF Staff in Review Announcements on Mar 12, 2012

We are proud to be among the first to post an in-depth review of the Pentax K-01 mirrorless camera!

When we first released the camera's specifications and provided coverage about it from CP+, several questions were raised about the camera:

  • How well does the autofocus perform?
  • Are manual controls supported in video mode?
  • Is the LCD easy to view in bright light?
  • Is the sensor the same as that of the K-5?

We answer these fundamental questions and much more in our review.  We hope you enjoy it!

Tamron 90mm Macro Comparative Review

vs. the Pentax D-FA 100mm WR

By PF Staff in Review Announcements on Feb 23, 2012

Now that Sigma has (temporarily) discontinued the 105mm F2.8 macro lens, only two autofocus macro lens options remain available for Pentax in the 100mm focal length range: the Tamron 90mm F2.8 SP and the SMC Pentax-DA 100mm F2.8 WR macro.

Our latest review compares these two Pentax and Tamron lenses head-on.  We take a look at the build quality, AF speed, and, most importantly, image quality of the two lenses.  Which is sharper, and which is the better buy?
