I never thought I should live to experience this ...

This: "Sensor system with reduced movement and rotation compensation system" Does it mean there is still in body SR but not as effective as what we are used to in K3 etc? That approach might have been necessary in order to keep size down or to make it work with existing lenses?

So we can stil give feedback? Replace mode dial with mode and metering buttons. Get rid of ugly Sony ridge on the grip. Articulating screen like on the 645z. DA mode is fine but make it optional. I want to decide whether a lens is DA or FA.

A small, cheap DC motor on $2500 lenses? no thanks, especially when ALL the competition have fast ring ultrasonic motors

What, SAFOX XI? That's two years old! Pentax is DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!

I noticed that Pentaxeros listed the price as 2000 Euros. That's US $2275. Wow!

[Rodric]

Woot!!!

Let's expect more lenses!

[Kerrowdown]

I feel vindicated in buying up all the best FF legacy lenses now

My "Ladies" are all quite excited about getting mated or should I say mounted on this new offering.

Let's expect more lenses!

And you will get....

I think they mean DC as in the newer SDM motor on the DA 18-135 WR.

I'm just annoyed the 150-450 was announced less than a month after I bought a Bigma.

Looks very interesting. I like the crop mode for those of us with lots of DA glass.
I was hoping it would be coming sooner than sometime before the end of the year but I guess that gives me time to save!

Sony does the same with their E mount lenses on FF.

Just a bad translation. Its the same SR as always

[Shanti]

what No WIFI or scene modes--how could they just hope 150-450 comes out before summer--2015 that is
now time for a new thread---Do we really need a FF from Pentax??

[Tesla]

Awesome! So Happy!!!
