That's a thread about a lens, if you want to speak about flash sync here you have to ask for a leaf shutter.

But as i have said all year long; the future is bright!

By "Future is bright" you mean they are bringing back F/1.2 aperture lenses right?

A new D-FA* 50mm F/1.2...

I know but I was getting tired of people asking for updates. When there is an update we will probably hear about it here first (as soon as somebody reads digicame.info and posts it here. I believe Kenspo already said it will go on sale before the FF which Asahiman says will be announced on october 6 (according to someone, didn't check dpreview forums yet)

ok I just posted them here:

Hey crazy folks,don't get a heard attack,but the sale of the 2.8 70-200 should start in September.
I had one for testing till i destroy it and the main problem was my problem to,the tripod collar is absolutely ... 😠 not to use under real action life.
I turn the tripod collar to the right side and my right hand fingers are in the way.
Can not hold the camera with hand shoes and if you have bigger hands and fingers,it can hurt you.
than the AF get a new firmware,he is very fast but a little nervous.
But I got a lot of good speed shots with 2.8 and 200 with a current Pentax camera 😉
The multicoating is a dream,one of the best I ever used and i can use a lot.
Against light and with Sun in the picture,No stress with flair and reflection.
Into led light,No flair.
The body is extremely well made and cold proof.
I used the lens after 3 hours in a minus 20 degrees Celsius freezer.
And it's weather proof,like all the good Pentax lenses.
So,wait only a couple of weeks and try it by your self.
best regards and good morning.

Thank you asahi man. Good but surprising news. So it will be around before the FF is launched. That is sensible.

kooks · 08-27-2015, 04:58 PM

It would be cool kit for FF

It's so refreshing to see something from someone who actually has something to talk about, unlike folks like myself, who generally just talk to amuse our selves.
