Another new thing from Ricoh..that confirms what asahiman said about training, so will no shops sell the pro pentax gear without correct training. I can't go into details here..but they are going for a more pro training of shops, will build up and improve pro service etc. So many changes will come in the time ahead. But remember, Rome wasn't build in a day.

I guess this will be the most common case: a DA lens covering more than an APSC crop, but not the full frame. So for example a DA 21mm (31,5mm eq. on APSC) could be something like 26-28mm, which still might be more usefull than using a crop mode and getting only 31,5mm. I guess the longer DA lens the more frame it covers.
Anyhow I am looking forward to the tests of DA lenses on the K-1.

I agree. 15-30 is a must-have for FF. Even for APS-C, it is very useful (22.5mm - 45mm 35mm equivalent). More importantly, it should be relatively cheap with excellent IQ. Tamron version is $1199 in U.S. Based on what we observed for 24-70mm, the Pentax version price should be close to this one.

OK the serious information starts here - that's the first time you've called it K-1, as well, isn't it?

kenspo · 02-08-2016, 07:38 AM

Yes, it is..hehe

Wow... With features comparable to D810, pricing at 2000 EUR is really a bargain! 2200 USD is not bad giving that several years ago, the announcement price for K5 is $1600!!!

That is about $500.00 less than D810 should be a big hit at that price

Exactly. From last April, we know the price will be around 2000-2500 EUR. But it is good to know that the actual price will be around lower bound. It contains a lot of other informations: eg 1) not 42mp sensor but 36mp sensor 2) Should be 4-5fps et al.

Around 2k€ for the Body-Only sounds great - thx for the info!

Maybe you can answer with a smilie: Will there be a discount bundle with the 24-70 for less then 3k€?

Thanks for sharing this, that's a really good news !

I am still waiting for the specs but at this pricetag, it seems like an amazing option.
