For the past 7 weeks we have been waiting to get our hands on the new marvelous Pentax K-1. Dreaming of the excellent IQ and the perfect control layout and the great new features.
During this wait I have found myself taking less and less photos with my K-3, or with any of my cameras. Not a single shot with my Pentax 6x7. The wait has made me unwilling to take some photos. Today I forced my way out to take som images since there is a storm system moving past us. I have been waiting for this since it always passes this time a year. I took some great shots, or so I thought. Coming home they all look boring and technically bad. They will probably look better when I have lifted the curse of waiting.
The joy of photography seems to have dissapeared. Reading the forum, hoping that someone will shedd some light on the time of arrival.
I find myself writing posts and threads, theorising on every aspect of the K-1. New sample images are shown, new articles are written and tomorrow there will be a new part opened on the K-1 special site and I will be there to marvel.
I need the K-1 to arrive, even if it is the worst camera ever, just so that I can know what it is that I have been wating for sooooo long.
This weekend I will take my Pentax 6x7 to the capital and take two rolls, one BW and one in colour. Then I will develop and scan.
Hopefully the joy of photography will embrace me and the focus on the tech will leave me alone, if only for a little while.
Have a great weekend wherever you are!
