If Pentax can install tracking as good as Nikon on the k-1 successor, it will be a killer camera.


Needs more of them, covering a greater amount of the frame as well. I believe/hope the next iteration of Pentax cameras should hopefully address this.

Well a K-1s in 2018 with some updates and a new version in 2020, so you better start living with K-1 and be happy.

That video is about motor speed, not accuracy, # of AF points or tracking. As far as I know its the tracking that is most far behind, and that is somewhat related to # points and point spread.
Aye, it's not great.

Pentax and Pentaxian's need to accept this is Pentax' weak point and therefore what needs sorting most. It'll happen.

That's a very good thing to be honest, Ron. I see hard times ahead and it's time to prioritise finances.

Maybe I am too easy to please, but the current K-1 is more than adequate for everything I shoot.

Interesting........ i was watching tony's attack of the pentaxian video i,m sure the guy know a lot of stuff about old glass but not quite as much as cooke optics

in the film world all the lens manufactures are running around trying to sell you 4k lenses as your old one won,t be good enough (wrong) ....cooke who make amazing lenses for cinema camera published this

it is only based on a 4k sensor but there point is any film glass from say the past 30 odd years should out resolve a modern sensor by a fair margin and they actually explain what going on as opposed to telling you to look at someone else website

interesting reading

The common -- but still incorrect -- statement that old film glass is not up to the demands of a 36MP sensor is plain nonsense. TN and DPReview unfortunately do not know better than to lazyily parrot this uninformed statement.

If anyone said that it is an issue that a lens like the FA* 85/1.4 is only available on the used market and one therefore does not has the comfort of immediate availability/access and manufacturer warranties, I'd immediately agree. However, to dismiss older glass on the basis that it is not optically good enough, is silly.

Let me make just one remark: If lenses were inadequate for a 36MP K-1 then they would have been inadequate for a 16MP K-5 all along (the smaller sensor places a higher demand on the resolving powers of lenses). Did any of these "experts" ever make that claim for 16MP APS-C sensors?

i totally agree with you Class A i shot on a Canon K35 which a 1970 lens on a red dragon camera a while back ...bit bigger that an APS-C sensor at 6k HD amazing lens ...and i know the guys a cooke know there stuff a bit better than a bloke with youtube channel they have been making lenses since 1894 !!!!!!

what we are looking for is the colour rendition/high light roll off etc out of the old lens we know they're going to be sharp there are few soft russian ones i have come across ...but that really the lens build

when i got the K1 i knew i would have no problem with resolving power with old lens ...and i don't ...it's just strange watching that video

now if i could find a PL mount to k mount adapter ....i think my life would be complete

i,m have far to much fun with this camera :-)

Tony released his 1 hour K-1 tutorial,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5EFILdtYZw


I think if this was his first K-1 video, he wouldn't have gotten nearly the hate he was getting.

I don't intend to watch the video. I'm just curious, does he have tutorials for other cameras?
