Happen to be looking (right now) at the current cover photo of this site, why do all recent Pentax photos have that sickly-bluish cold tone?

Huh? Me thinks you need to calibrate a monitor or two...

Out of the camera from yesterday, Increased exposure a tad, otherwise untouched including lens profiles. Early (172E Tamron 90mm). Sickly blue? As Gazonk said, monitor.

Because no one shoots with Kodak Portra?

It would be interesting to ask about the possibility of developing tilt/shift lenses which are needed for the 645z, T/S lenses for APS-C wouldn't hurt either.

+1 on T/S lenses (in fact, any new lenses are welcome)

But would not we expect another "We will consider that type of answer" from them? Why not we just let them talk like others have suggested?

Please build an APS-C based, K-mount, mirrorless model like the Fujifilm X-T1. Should have decent video capabilities (including a tilt screen) and HMDI video out. Mr Newson should not be the designer.

Could you please fire the person who gave the go ahead for the K-S1

Kunzite · 08-19-2014, 05:09 AM

I would wait for the sales data before firing anyone; you might be surprised...

Why? It will appeal to the crowd it's targeted at and bring Ricoh a lot of ¥ ¥ ¥.

Japanese youngsters. Do not forget Ricoh's Nippocentrism.

K-30 was more of a Manga design. I like that. This is just bad. Japanese youngsters do have taste.....

Gee, if enough of you people hate it, I might buy it at discount price earlier. Bring it on!

We could petition your boss to fire you too while we're at it...

I don't think we should be joking about people losing their job though.. the job market is so tough as it is right now..

Well I was thinking, but at least 55mm and 17-70 only have SDM. No screwdriving in those lenses. About 60-250 I'm not totaly sure.

It is much more easy: 16-50, 50-135 and 60-250 are dual AF.
Everything else is either screwdrive only or in lens motor only (SDM or DC)

Except also DA*200 and DA*300 which are dual AF.
