(...) I've never spent more than $700 on a camera - and then the KP came down to that last "Black Friday", so I purchased one before they changed their mind. Not even a Pentaxian should expect this camera to start off "cheap".

The KP is back to $699.95, should you need another one.

$699.95 is quite a bargain. It's still over $1000 here.

Must have read this thread.

Can I quote you that?

I must have had the K5-mini. You couldn't have got more than a small butter dish inside mine.

Depending on the community, dinner might fit on a very small plate.

One is enough for me - and it still works fine despite some physical mishaps.

Wow, that's a tempting offer for the KP. However, I have a foolproof method for resisting such temptation: lack of funds at the moment. Works every time!

That's the key point: if one gives credit to what D850&K-1MarkII is tweeting. I've been thinking of replacing my first generation Sigma 17-70 f/2.8-4.5 with the Pentax 16-85 f/3.5-5.6, but a new 16-50 f/2.8 could affect my very tentative plans. Let's see what Ricoh does at CP+ 2020.

Did Adam code a special filter which will remove all these 'i wanna win at the contest' and get back to normal threads after the contest?

I guess he didn't...

and get back to normal threads after the contest

There is no way back

If he did, and filtered the entries accordingly, there would end up being four people in the drawing.

I've been contemplating a 20-40 limited, but I wasn't thrilled with the range. I'd consider a newly revamped 16-50 f/2.8 WR.

I had a 20-40 for awhile but was not convinced. I guess it depends on how you use your lenses.

I rented the 20-40 for a trip to Europe, and got some good results, like the attached picture. It was good for bad weather. But I also got good results with other lenses, too. What I really want is a lens that's better than kit, weather-sealed, and in the normal range. I'd love a tiny 21mm or 28mm WR limited prime. But that doesn't appear on anybody's roadmap.

You made good use of it in this photo.

I think we agree that the 16-50 and 50-135 zooms could use Mark II versions, though.

Bam! Yep, do those first. We did see a mystery picture of a 50 to ? Zoom.

Missed that picture, is there still a link to it?
