Originally posted by stub The very lenses that may fit but were outlawed by Ricoh and deemed unsuitable at the K1 launch.. I own two K1's and believe me when they are in a bag with my 15-30 and 24-70mm You certainly know about it...
"Outlawed"? Ricoh even produced a gallery of pictures taken by their staff using old and DA lenses, you could see clearly the ones that worked beautifully.
It's your decision to use pro f2.8 lenses like the 15-30 and 24-70. They are exactly the same size and weight as the Tamron versions for Canon and Nikon … it goes with the territory.
But the beauty of the K-mount means that one forum member travelled the world with the DA12-24 f4, the DFA 28-105 and DFA50 f2.8 Macro. Another did a tour of Western Australia with the FA77, FA31, and M20
on a bicycle, so if there's onerous weight in your bag, Stub, it was your choice!
Originally posted by stub I also own my own studio strobes.. The market 90% of which only operate in a manual condition. Im a loyal Pentax user. But Please dont put up an arguement for Pentax flash...
But I did. That it works the same way as the proprietary Canon, Nikon, Sony or Fuji systems seems to have been lost on you. And that by your stat ninety percent of pro work with strobes across brands is done in manual mode suits Pentax just fine. Trigger in the standard hotshoe like everybody else, and six light setup, here we go!

No, camera of the year, 2016, a year which included the Nikon D500 and Canon 5D MkIV. I mean, I just don't rate the bloke at all, but others slavishly follow him.
Originally posted by stub Point I was making on the filter system was that its an expensive choice in full frame,as compared to APSC....
The issue isn't APS-C or FF, it's the lens, Stub.
The Sigma 8-16mm is an APS-C lens, but doesn't accept screw in filters either, you pony up for an external system.
Originally posted by stub You may get your sport shots.. We all do,, But not with the regularity of the competition,,,
You originally said it doesn't focus enough, now you've changed your tune. I've not had any problem standing side by side with Canon and Nikon shooters and getting the same pictures!
This maligning - and Cameraville say it's usually by people who aren't sports shooters or who can't understand a camera's settings for a given situation - has to stop:
