Maybe it has one of those little kegs like the Saint Benards had around their necks. That could help my photography at times

Very useful to hang off the tripod on those windy days

I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet. Asahi Man posted on it a while back: DA* updates in September. There's the new 16-50 patent, if they also refreshed the 50-135, alongside a preproduction glass enclosed 11-18, and a mockup K-3 III... That would be nice

That would be nice indeed!! I could actually use a new DA*16-50...

Concerning the 11-18, there's already a first prototype that was functional. I tried it on my K-3II (no pictures allowed however, I had to remove my SD card) in March during the Imaging Days in Brussels. I expect Photokina to show an evolved and more final version. Hopefully, this time we will be allowed to take pictures?

remember - DA* zooms will be updated...as for K-3II's replacement - there are no K-3II in the stores from this spring.
I doubt in mockup...if they didn't planed the update this year, no any sense to cut sales.

There were such info from Asahiman. The first - DA*zooms will be updated, then DA* primes.

16-50mm f/2.8 patent application, potentially that of the revamped DA?: Pentax SLR Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review

I forget where his original comment was.

If you got a K-1 with a 24mp sensor and a $1500 price tag, and none of the other stuff you mentioned, would you be happy? That would certainly be in the realm of possibility, even if unlikely.

Yes.

The K-1ii is priced between the Nikon D750 and D810, and around the Sony A7 III.

I would love to see a full-frame Pentax that tackled the price range of the Nikon D610 or the older-generation Sony Alphas (which continue to sell years and years later, pushing the price for a new, entry-level FF camera close to $1000.)

A brand new FF with 24MP sensor, killer ISO performance, fast buffering and UHS II, much much improved AF, and everything else same as the original K1... BUT.. I guess that ain't going to happen in a short time

I really hope not. Cannot imagine camera less needed.....

This post and next three in conversation with the same antagonist as here.

Not if it's a mirrorless camera with K mount, in which case Pentax would be the best MILC offering of the market.

A K-mount mirrorless with EVF would certainly be interesting to see. Although K-mount would somewhat impose some undesirable constraints on a ML, it's probably the only realistic way Pentax could be make the jump into ML. A K-mount ML would still be preferable to no ML at all...

I would be very surprised to see anything like that on the short term, but who knows ?

Hey, don't talk about the GR that way.

I'm excited to hear their announcement as well!
