Thanks for the link.

Minutes 45-65 for some auto-focus testing with various lenses.

Cool!

It is safe to say that continuous AF.C is much improved.

That shutter sure has a different sound, I like the way it sounds!!

Thanks for the link. It definitely seems more responsive with improved auto focus. It will interesting to see how it compares to the competition.

What lens are they showing here?

MikeyBugs95 · 01-12-2021, 09:01 PM

Could that be the 21 limited? Or maybe it's an as yet unannounced lens?

A 3D printed mock-up of the A* 85 f1.4 and its hood?

Looks like the A* 85 1.4 in a carbon fiber wrap.....odd to say the least

The more I see previews, the less I get excited. It's not that the camera will lack anything, on the contrary, it's certainly the best Pentax camera ever made. Teasing preview sort of kills off the novelty effect , after a while, it's not quite new anymore. Ricoh should release it and take pre-orders for it.

I still think there may be a surprise or two.
