Pentax KP - Specifications

**bobbotron** · 02-03-2017, 09:25 PM

I like the option of sr, but I often shoot with a tripod, I'd totally consider a Pentax camera without sr.

ah yes, good point. There are five users modes, like on the K1. Very useful. On the K1 , I've given each User mode a different AF mode, so that selecting AF tracking is direct.

Ah! Of course! No wonder PentaxIsDoomed. They failed to bring out an IS version of the 50/1.2.

There are none so blind as those who refuse to stop down appropriately.

Impressive.
Is it possible to use the electronic shutter at all speeds or only faster than 1/6000?

Does a Pentax need a mirror any more?
