Pentax Giveaway "What will you do if you win?"

pero · 08-29-2018, 10:50 AM

I'd absolutely keep it and use it a lot! I have some older manual lenses that I love and would love to try on full frame (as they were once meant to be used). And I would also keep and continue to use my trusted K-5 until it falls apart (not least for birding!). And also my K-x, Q and Q-S1!

Ok well I agree then - whatever photography you do you need that

As I tell the kids - ' "I want" doesn't get '... ;-)

Mind you, I would like another one! My old K5 isn't really up to playing second camera to the K1; I've been spoilt by how much better the K1 is.

Good luck everyone!!

... I would finally put my old FF glas to much better use than I have been doing on my K5

I was never told that as a kid - took me decades to work it out

If I won, I would pair it up on a slide rail beside my current K-1, beg/borrow/or steal a second FA 31mm f1.8, splice a wired remote for two outputs, and then attempt to take simultaneous side-by-side shots that would stitch together into a seamless, high-definition panorama.

Just 'cause I've been curious as to whether it would work for circumstances like waves crashing at a beach, where a regular pano setup wouldn't be feasible.

Then I'd promise myself I'd sell the second body ( if the panoramas didn't work ), but it would probably sit on the shelf alongside all the other camera gear I've been promising myself to sell . . . .

If the panoramas don't work out, you could try stereographic pictures.

If the K-5 isn't in the same league, can you imagine how much fun I'd have coming from a K-7? Of course I'd keep it!

ikandree · 08-29-2018, 05:41 PM

Totally keep it! My K50 is old faithful but having a new camera would be sweet!

**monochrome** · 08-29-2018, 07:19 PM

Trade it for an A*135/1.8 + A15/3.5
